La Méditerranée is a restaurants restaurant in the Array arrondissement of Paris.
La Méditerranée is a historic seafood restaurant in the 6th arrondissement, at 2 Place de l’Odéon, directly facing the Odéon theatre. Open since 1942 and long a haunt of artists and celebrities — it was founded by a friend of Jean Cocteau, who contributed to its decor — it remains a charming, classic address for fish and shellfish on the Left Bank.
What to expect at La Méditerranée
The menu is a celebration of the sea: bouillabaisse, oysters, fish of all kinds and other seafood, prepared in a refined but traditional style. The cosy, art-filled dining room and terrace overlooking the Odéon give it a timeless, theatrical charm, and the set menus keep it relatively accessible for the quality and setting. It is a lovely choice before or after a show, or for a leisurely seafood lunch in a storied corner of Saint-Germain.
