Pierre Gagnaire à Gaya Rive Gauche
44 rue du Bac, 7th
This witty makeover of a fish institution, with seaweed-motif tables and a fish-scale carpet, lets diners sample the Gagnaire touch for a fraction of the cost of his foothold in the 20th. The catch is divided into ‘noble’ (sea bass, lobster) and ‘modest’ (squid, skate) and dishes range from funky — a ‘black’ croque monsieur with aubergine and pesto or a land-sea mix of oysters and foie gras — to variations of classics, like petals of sea bass in a spice-and-sherry sauce.

1. I am not french nor do I live in France.
2. I guess you are so full of yourself that you did not bother to understand my post so let me simplify things for you: when I travel to Spain for example, I do not want to go to a restaurant with menus in foreign languages (ANY foreign languages). The same applies wherever I travel. Get it???
My experience has shown me that such places are not very interesting at best or tourist traps at worst.
I have nothing against the english language, quite the contrary.
3. I personally like to try a little bit of the local language whenever I travel abroad. As I said it is a nice way to interact with the locals and usually goes a long way. I do not think that's being narrow minded quite the contrary.
4. I don't believe we have met before so please stop thinking I have "limited knowledge of anything not french".
5. Grow-up and stop calling people names.
6. Have a nice life mate. Posted on Jul 03 2008 13:38
Gaya is very good restaurant, with excellent fish and friendly service. Yes prices are high but if you want to eat fresh produce in a pleasant environement with professional service then be prepared to pay the price.
I have a few comments for "chan" and Mr "C. Elder":
1. if it had an english menu then there is no way I would have eaten there. Wherever I travel in Europe I avoid like the plague restaurants that have menus in english, italian, german etc etc as they are mostly tourist traps. Trying to speak the local language is also a very good way to interact with the locals and usually goes a long way.
2. if you don't like france and the french then go someplace else
3. if you think someone is from asia simply because his name is "chan" then you need to get out more and stop watching all these kung-fu movies mate. Posted on Jul 02 2008 10:20
You are in France. Where we speak French. Go away if you don't like it.
I hear they speak English in the UK? Posted on Apr 11 2008 01:28
If the renomme of the chef doesn't make this restaurant an attraction, the food and service do. Obviously slightly pricey but during the whole time, it was worth it. Posted on Mar 26 2008 15:15
The food is excellent ! The prices very reasonable for this type of restaurant.
