Chez Jean-Mi
A popular oyster bar inside the Marché des Capucins, offering fresh-shucked oysters paired with white wine at budget-friendly prices in a market setting.
Located inside the Marché des Capucins, this is a go-to oyster bar for both locals and tourists. The oysters are sourced from the stall opposite. The signature order is 6 oysters paired with a glass of white wine for about €10-11. The fish soup is also highly praised, and they offer whelks and shrimp as well. Except for the fish soup, most dishes are served cold. The atmosphere is lively and often requires queuing, so some reviews suggest arriving before noon. Some sources state that they do not accept bank cards, so cash is recommended. You can take Tram Line B to Victoire station or Line C to Sainte-Croix station and walk there.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 7:00-14:30; Sun 9:00-14:30; Closed Mon
