This fishmonger's and restaurant on rue des Chats-Bossus was built in 1928 to plans by the architect Trannoy, with a first façade attributed to Pierre Baillieul; the establishment was enlarged in 1940. Its shopfront features a remarkable Art Deco decor of glasswork and ceramics, with a bow window carried by a large sculpted shell. The same family ran it from 1898 to 2015. The street façade and roof, together with the entire decor of the shop, were listed as a historic monument by decree of 10 July 2015.
