For dinner on the first day in Paris Central, we ate at La Cabane A Huitres, a tiny place a few streets away from where we stayed.
We were very early and the shop only opened at 7pm.

There is a choice between a set meal and ala carte.
We chose 2 set meals which consisted of 12 oysters and 1 foie gras each (20.50 euro per set).
The foie gras is made from duck liver. Tasted differently from the one at Lawry's. I loved it. It tasted a little creamy and cheesy with a little liver taste - just a little.
Baby tasted a morsel and she said,"It's cheese!"
The eatery specialises in oysters and mussels. What's different about the place is they harvest their shellfish themselves on days that they are close.
The oysters were so fresh that we saw tiny living organisms swimming IN the oysters!
I am not an oyster guru. They taste just as fresh as the ones I had at The Line Shangri La. Perhaps there's only so much an oyster can be fresh.
Their other known specialty: Canele, a caramelised cake which consists of rum (3.50 euro).
We didn't like it much. It was hard for a cake and we didn't like the taste of rum.
The only drinks available there were spirits and wines, so we had plain water instead. While waiting for the shop to open, we found a Japanese restaurant next to it. I bought a few sushis for the little one since she was not likely to eat what we had for dinner.
There were only 2 female staff in the eatery. They would ask how we found our meal, where we came from and whether we would like desserts in English with strong French accent.
Really friendly people who tried to help us feel at ease!
Coco could not stomach 12 oysters, so I ate 6 of hers and left her hungry.
We walked around the neighbourhood and found this crepes place to fill up her stomach.
She loved it!
