Seafood Bistro

In a street better known for nightlife than for cooking, Seafood Bistro is a small act of resistance: light-battered kibbeling, classic mussel pots (the Roquefort version for the adventurous), grilled sea bream and a tomato-seafood pasta that demands bread for the sauce. The room is compact and unpretentious, service is chatty in the good way, and the chef has a habit of appearing tableside. For visitors staying central who want fish without the walk or the fine-dining bill, this fills the gap precisely.
