Hello. May I please have a price list for this restaurant, or at least the amount for the cost of the escargot caviar? Thank you.

I had the great occasion to have eaten there. I had the
snails as appetizers and ordered the Duck. I discovered to much dissatisfaction that poulty is not cooked as we cook in the US to a certain temp in order to make sure it is done. This duck was med. rare if that. I sent it back and I think it may still have had its festhers on and could have done so on its on accord. I then ordered a dozen snails and enjoyed my meal despite the duck. I would go back there to eat anytime.

Yes this is a fun street with many food shops, but the overal ambience of Les Halles has been going down the pits for years. Continue to explore Paris and you"ll find many enjoyable corners!

Ate at the L"Escargot Montorgueil at an outdoor table with friends on a beautiful warm and sunny spring day. Had the snail sampler, the the snails in curry sauce were excellent. This restaurant is on a wonderful shopping steet. Make sure you check out Sthorer Pastry shop down the street...famous for the rum baba.
Also, the licquor shop with the Calvados with the apple in the bottle.

Wonderful, wonderful find in Paris.

Enjoy.

Kelli Sue it is you who made me laugh today with the tale of your son asking if the snail speak French - that"s a good one! Now many snails are edible and you could very well find good snails out there. Just remember to let them eat salad and milk in a box for at least 3 days so that their stomach is cleared of any potentially toxic content. And please don"t cover them in salt while alive, this is cruel and unecessary. Have fun!

I laughed out loud when I saw the snail on the little scooter.

I prepared escargots at home one day whilst I was pregnant with my 2 year old daughter. My 6 year old thought they were button mushrooms sautee"d in butter and garlic sauce, and commenced eating most of them while I was finishing a second pan at the stove. He was surprised to find they were snails, not fungi. Without missing a beat he volunteered to gather garden snails from our farm. I declined, citing we only eat French snails. He was last seen picking up little snails, inquiring Parlez Vous Francais? and listening intently. I assured him only if he heard Oui, oui, I"d cook them. When I made Grasshopper (creme de menthe) brownies a few days later, he declined, saying he didn"t really feel like eating grasshoppers today. I"m just doing my part to introduce the family to a broad variety of foods. Your blog makes for interesting conversations at our house. Our ducks are safe from eating after seeing the pressed duck article.

Mitchell, restaurant-grade shells are much harder to produce than edible snail flesh, so restaurants buy them separately in big bags and try to recycle them much as they would plates or cutlery as many times as they can. As for the chicken water, this is exactly how a French chef would make chicken stock to boil another chicken. The great cycle of life!

Hello, interesting article on escargot. Why do they reuse shells if they are going to clean out the oil/seasoning? Or is there flavor in the shells themselves that is imparted to the snails when cooked? Is that why they reuse shells rather than use the original shells the snails are in along with possibility of one shell being more presentable than another? This process seems similar to when Chinese cooks boil chicken in a pot containing water used to boil previous chicken such that flavor left in the water compounds with each boil and imparts more flavor into the chicken.

The Koala is too nice. Yes, me write English without online translator. That"s really flattering - an Escargot Pie Floater now, makes one wish to be transported down under to taste the New World"s delicacies. Indeed culture has a long way to go but they say sheeps are very friendly too down there.

Yes I do moderate these comments and the Koala is a friend of mine who wrote his comment, as I do mine, as a friendly joke.

A most interesting article - it"s good to know the French are pushing the boundaries of recycling. No fear of global warming or environmental disaster with them about. Might I also say it was extremely well-written too. And in English! Do you use one of those automatic translator sites like Dictionary.com- Translator or pay somebody to render it into the foreign tongue? You might be interested to know that here in Australia we have a dish called "Pie Floater L"Escargot" which is a meat pie swimming in pea soup, topped with a drizzle of tomato sauce and crowned with two escargots rampant. This, of course, is the sophisticated rendition - as found at some of the country"s finest restaurants. Those who aren"t sure about the difference between a pussy and a cat go for the basic version and dispense with the snails. Culture in this country has got a long way to go.On a technical matter - just as a matter of interest - do you moderate these comments before they are posted or could someone just write what they like and see it appear unedited? I, for instance, have a large number of cartoons of religious leaders which you might find interesting.All the best - The Koala
