About

Le Duc is a Parisian gastronomic temple dedicated to seafood, founded in 1967 by the Minchelli brothers. This iconic restaurant revolutionized fish cuisine by offering simple and refined preparations that highlight the freshness and quality of products. Decorated like an elegant yacht by Slavik, the establishment embodies maritime excellence with a menu focused on fish and shellfish served almost naked. Chef Pascal Hélard perpetuates the original philosophy: respect for ingredients, precise cooking, and minimalist presentation. A timeless venue frequented by Parisian high society, where each dish tells the story of cuisine that transformed French gastronomy.

Press review

What the sources say.

Excerpts from 21 editorial mentions cross-referenced by Gatto.

  • “Le décor de Slavik fait mieux que vieillir, il participe au savoir-vivre et à l'élégance qu'incarne si bien cette institution. Le quartier et la proximité de nombreuses maisons d'édition invitent certes à bien se tenir à table.”

  • “Having just landed in Paris, still without a lunch reservation for Saturday, the choice was easy – trying to get a table at Le Duc, since we were already very convinced by our dear Aiste’s (Luxeat) recommendations and praises for a long time now.”

  • “Des frères Minchelli, créateurs de ce temple du poisson, le chef Pascal Hélard a tout appris. Aujourd'hui, il persiste et signe dans l'épure culinaire des cuissons et des accommodements.”
