But does it still live up to the hype? Read more:
, he bounced around town eating at a litany of great spots. But one restaurant got surprising praise from the chef, with Bourdain saying,"If there [are two things you do in Paris, this would be one. It's an old classic, and I mean classic with a capital C, brasserie in the Montparnasse district."
Bourdain didn't often offer praise this high, so nearly 20 years after Bourdain's visit, I made a point to check out this legendary spot to see if it still lived up to the hype., an upscale bistro on the border of the 6th and 14th arrondissement along the Boulevard du Montparnasse, specializes in fresh seafood within a posh atmosphere.
I made a reservation for one and stopped in for dinner on the early side, around 6 p.m. The restaurant was pretty empty, but over the course of my meal, seats filled up fast — to the point where guests were waiting for tables to open up within an hour. I ordered the Le Dôme platter, a meal that could have easily fed two. The server came to the table with a tower decorated with prawns, oysters, crab claws, cockles, and smaller grey shrimp.
The restaurant itself only garnered a short, fleeting mention on Bourdain's show before he jumped off to another spot. But as a seafood lover, it grabbed my attention, and I'm happy to say that it lived up to every expectation. I left full and happy.
I spent the next few days visiting some of Bourdain's highlighted spots and new favorites shared by friends. But I kept coming back to this meal. The service was attentive, the ambiance quintessentially French, and the food a true feast to remember.
