TLC Paris Concierge note: Clamato is ideal for a spontaneous and informal meal centred on excellent seafood rather than traditional fine-dining ceremony. Allow extra time during busy periods and choose several plates to share. Afterwards, continue along Rue de Charonne, explore Rue Paul Bert or walk towards Bastille and Marché d’Aligre for a lively taste of eastern Paris.
