Chez Les Anges

LauraG — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:24:32 +0000

Dating back to the 1950′s, but recently refreshed by a new chef, the owner of Au Bon Accueil near the Eiffel Tower. Well priced for seasonal food, with an emphasis on vegetables, never a strong suit in classic French cooking. Prix fixe menu is 36 euros, and many wines are at or under 30 euros a bottle. LG

Le Florimond

LauraG — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 20:40:09 +0000

Small bistro, independently owned and has a mom and pop feel – when pop is a chef. Quite busy, so reservations are recommended, even on a week night, as there are not very many tables. Don’t expect trendy, but do expect fresh, friendly and a dedicated staff. LG

Jules Verne Restaurant

LauraG — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 20:05:11 +0000

On the 2nd floor of the Eiffel Tower is a very lovely gourmet dining experience, with one of the most amazing views on earth. Expensive, but the relative deal is to do the prix fixe lunch at 85 euros a person without wine. That’s only Monday-Friday. Whenever you go, you’ll see business diners, people on special birthdays and anniversaries, and even foodies, as this is an Alain Ducasse restaurant. Every month showcases a different French wine region. LG

Restaurant Music Hall

LauraG — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 21:39:59 +0000

In the very tony 8th arondissement, you can dine beautifully until 4 a.m., at a place which opens at 11 a.m. You might call it a high class cantine for the area. Prix fixe dinner is 50-60 euros, and the atmosphere is trendy and lively, with rotating photo and art exhibits. You don’t need a suite and tie, but you’ll feel under-dressed in sneakers. They do an 18 euro prix fixe late breakfast/lunch during the week. LG

La Victoire Supreme du Couer

LauraG — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:46:40 +0000

Right in the Marais, this is clean, inexpensive food, both French and Indian. They do an Indian plate of rice with curry, salad, tofu and the like, but also have French specials like quiche and pasta. Quirky and good. As cheap as 13 euros. LG
