Paris Restaurant for a Pescatarian

I have read through almost all of the Paris restaurants threads including these here:

My wife is a Pescatarian. Going to Paris in May for a week. After reading recommendations in the other threads I made a reservation at Robuchon (we ate at Robuchon in Vegas a few months ago and she found something on the menu she thoroughly enjoyed - though I can't remember what it was). I'd like to find another restaurant that is more geared towards fish (or is at least very pescatarian or vegetarian friendly). Is there an equivalent to La Bernadin (her favorite restaurant) in Paris? She loves fish. I'd like to find something similar.

Thanks for any recommendations.

You can go to any of the typical classic brasseries and they usually have a wide selection of seafood platters (shellfish rather than fish).

Dessirier and Pétrus are two decent seafood restaurants around the 8e and 17e arrondissements. Gaya is Pierre Gagnaire's seafood restaurant.

I don't know if any of these compares to Le Bernardin to be honest.

L'Arpege. I don't know what he is doing now, but he stopped serving meat for awhile. It is better than Bernardin, and I think even people who love Bernardin would agree.

If you're going to a number of places, I really enjoyed Atlas in St Germain de Pres. It's not haute cuisine, but they have great fresh seafood.

Thanks for the recommendation Matt. This looks perfect. I'm going to run it by the wife b/c at these prices this is likely to be her b-day present and I'm not sure she'd want that. A 430e tasting menu!!

Le Duc is well regarded for its seafood. can't compare it to Le Bernardin since I am a smalltimer.

You could try L'Astrance. The time I went a couple years ago they had lots of fish on le menu. All was really enjoyable.

I love l'Astrance. The chef is the former sous-chef at Arpege, and the food is similar, though a bit less expensive and not quite as precious.
