It was the first time my husband had ever eaten raw oysters and he had gone with me just to humor my passion for fruits de mer. Francis was warm and friendly, especially after he heard me speak French, and pretty soon all the people at the tables were talking to each other. Francis kept filling our glasses, and we were feeing very good by the time we left. My husband and I had a wonderful experience at La Cabane, on our last night in Paris in Aug. 2009.

I quite liked "I will open oysters and you will drink white wine". We were there one night when a local lady had her birthday - t was amazing - everyone was made to feel most welcome! Oysters followed by Foie Gras, Magret de Canard, Brebis and then Cannels(?) - and then a bill that is a work of pure fiction - we had surely drunk more wine than that!!!
