Huitres et Saumons de Passy

A really good place. As the name indicate, they serve oysters and salmon. Plain and simple. But good. No non-sense, simply just fresh seafood. In one of the small side streets from the bourgeois Passy area, you find this hole small place, practically not much more than a hole in the wall, a small serving kitchen behind a counter - and that's basically it. A perfect spot for a round of oysters or a fresh ceviche. Good and very reasonably priced wines.

Bon

In the almost lively Rue de la Pompe, you'll find restaurant Bon. The place is just as pretentious as the name indicates. The decor is light in the first section of the restaurant, while the back holds a more interesting room, tapestried as bookshelves, providing a slight - but needed - dose of library calm and feel good. The servants are just as unaccommodating as you might fear in the 16th. The plates are decent, but rather uninteresting, although they are well arranged. The kitchen is French with repeated touches of South-East Asia. A good stop if you really want to be sure that you have seen all the Starck decorated restaurants in Paris.

La Gare

In the bourgois 16th near La Muette, you find this ancient rail station. The restaurant is in a spacious, very elegant and good looking hall in the lower level. The upper level is a bar, with a well visited terrace, particularly in the summer time. Clientele is well off upper-class Parisians as well as nearby ex-pats. The restaurant is good, stable and the servings are sharp. Classical kitchen. Slightly overpriced - but good-looking women in the bar sometimes balances it.
