Pedra Alta
Welcome to Pedra Alta, a vibrant seafood haven nestled in the heart of Paris at 25 Rue Marbeuf, 75008. This casual yet lively eatery embodies the essence of maritime dining, offering a delectable array of seafood options that cater to everyone—from families to large groups seeking a hearty meal!
Step through the doors, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by an electrifying atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a hectic day of exploring the nearby Champs-Élysées. The restaurant is known for its boisterous vibe, which creates an inviting atmosphere not just for tourists but also for locals and young professionals. Whether you prefer to enjoy your meal indoors or under the stars on the outdoor patio, Pedra Alta has you covered.
- Reservations: The restaurant does not take reservations, which can mean a wait, but patrons assure that it’s well worth it.
- Menu Highlights: Expect generous portions primarily featuring seafood, with dishes that are perfect for sharing, such as the cocktail de marisco, rich cataplana de la mer, and mouthwatering grilled prawns.
- Family Style Dining: Meals are served in family-style, ensuring everyone at the table can indulge in various tasty options.
- Drinks: While the cocktail selection could use some refinement, the extensive beer and wine list more than compensates for it.
- Customer Experience: Patrons rave about the quick service once seated, as well as the friendly, albeit predominantly French-speaking, staff.
My personal favorites include the beignets de morue, tiny codfish cakes that are crispy on the outside and flavorful within. The cataplana de la mer is nothing short of a feast—sizable enough to serve three, featuring succulent shrimp, lobster, clams, and calamari served atop a bed of flavorful rice. You really get a taste of the ocean with each bite!
While diners have noted that the preparation times for seating can be lengthy, the rapid service once seated is commendable. It’s a seafood lover's paradise, brimming with large portions and an atmosphere that keeps the energy high. If you find yourself in Paris and craving an authentic seafood experience, Pedra Alta is a must-visit!
So, harness your appetite and dive into a culinary escapade at Pedra Alta. Bon appétit!

“ Good restaurants with good atmosphere and I enjoyed for MU every visit. This is the 2nd time I visited it. ”
“ Overall the food was great! However, be sure to bring your appetite! This seafood gem in the Champs-Elysses neighborhood is everything we thought it would be. The menu consists of 85% seafood and about 10% beef/steak, and 5% everything else. The portions of the food are family style. This means that there will be a lot of food on the plate, often enough for at least 3 people. For example, we got the grilled prawns. We ended up getting 8 ENORMOUS prawns and a bowl of shrimp on the middle. It also came with seafood soup. I also ordered the Steak and Shrimp Skewer. Again, the amount of food on the skewer was enough for at least 3 people (and this was half an order)! Their cocktails are okay, so room to improve on that front, however they do have a long list of of beers and wine to make up for the cocktail list. In terms of the service, they move fast once you're seated (i.e., the food comes quick). But the wait will be relatively long depending on the time of day (around 10-15 minutes). The ambiance is on the more medium side (i.e, not really upscale). The crowd consists mostly of tourists, local university students and young professionals. Additionally, this place has a bit of a local vibe. Unlike most of the restaurants in the area, the staff doesn't really speak any other language outside of French very well. However, they all do have some decent understanding of English. So, in other words, be prepared to speak French! ”
“ I come here every time I go to Paris, the seafood is amazing. This place gives such large portions of food which you don't find often in France. Love everything about this place except they don't take reservations, so there's always a wait to be seated but I promise it's worth the wait!!! bon appétit ”
“ This is one of the those restaurants every tourist goes to because it makes a great Instagram photo. Long lines for seating but they are fairly quick with two levels. Seafood is definitely a great value and portion size is huge. We were super stuffed eating out platter. They have hot and cold platters so you should decide which one you want. ”
“ Everything so good!! Must try at local....Seafood plater is the best .. we will definitely wanna come back! ”
“ Rate; 4.5 Very Popular Seafood Restaurant at Champs Elysees , Reasonable Price for Seafood, Always need line up but it goes very Fast as second floor has Big Space which can not see it from Outside! We order Seafood Platter (2 Full Lobster and 1 Full Crab) and Steak with Fries.. Plus Drinks for 3 person which very satisfied with Quality....Total cost Euro $120 For sure will be back again into next trip to Paris... ”
