Chez Germaine

Posted by CoolandBright 30 June 2011

I saw this bistrot recommended in a 2008 Guardian article as one of the 'Top 10 Paris bistrots on a budget'. I can gladly say that it continues to please. We were superbly attended to from start to finish by the friendly owner/ waiter making us feel very welcome. We ordered the three course menu (€18.50-very reasonable for an evening meal in Paris) and let the owner suggest a wine, which went perfectly with the fish we ordered. A constant supply of chilled water was brought to the table and baskets of wonderful fresh bread. The chocolate pudding and the tiramisu were delicious. As a digestif we had the excellent homemade Vanilla rum (€4.50).

Café Le Virage

Posted by AgnesPoirier 1 June 2011

Here is an authentic local café with formica tables and a tasty menu du jour. If you’re a football fan, you’ll be able to discuss with the sportive owner. This café sits on a very poetic corner of Paris, it is precisely where Rue de la Fidélité becomes Rue du Paradis. I often wondered if the Haussmanian city planners did it on purpose.

Corner of rue de Paradis and rue du Faubourg St Denis, Paris (10th)

Villa Spicy

Posted by GoodNicolas 12 March 2011

Villa Spicy is located few steps from the Champs Elysees. We stopped there after a long afternoon walk on the Champs Elysees and it looked nice.
We really enjoyed the atmosphere and our meal. Very fresh food with good seasonings.
I've had a lot of meals in Paris, some good and some mediocre, and this place was one of my best in Paris.
They show a great attachment to quality, and was a good value for around 50 euros.

La Maison Georgienne

Posted by travelsurfing 27 December 2010

I went to this restaurant for a very special occasion (my now fiancé proposed to me!) It was amazing. I had never even heard of Georgian cuisine, but it's really not so different from french style food. However, the cool part of the restaurant was the awesome ambiance. It was huge for a Parisian restaurant and you could just feel the history in the details of the walls and art, even the old wooden tables. I'm telling you, if you want to spend a little more for a special occasion, this is definitely a place to keep in mind. We ate so much food, but it was paced well so we didn't feel like pigs. The waitstaff were very kind even though our English wasn't the greatest. And everyone clapped when he got down on one knee! :):) So that's my story, I hope someone else sees this and is maybe inspired for a little special night of their own - I just had to share!

Al Taglio

Posted by laurastuckinparis 16 February 2010

Pizzeria with a difference. Arrive early or late- it is very small and gets packed quickly. Delicious and cheap pizza by the slice in a great area for a few drinks, not far from the Nouveau Casino club and bars such as Le Café Charbon.

58 Tour Eiffel Restaurant

Posted by MagnusHartwall 5 January 2010

When I was in Paris for an exhibition recently I took a couple of American customers to this restaurant because it combines a famous landmark with French cuisine. I thought it would be an unforgettable experience for them and I was not disappointed.

It is on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower so at night the views are spectacular especially if you can get a table by the window. It is quite avant garde in the way it is designed with a sort of circular swirling purple light above which sounds strange but it is all done in the best possible taste. The lighting is quite subdued so that people can see the city and there are candles on the tables so the atmosphere is wonderful.

I am not easily impressed in restaurants becuase I do a lot of entertaining all over the world but I thought the food and the service here was excellent. We had the cheaper of the menus (not that any of them are exactly "cheap") but it was just great and as far as I was concerned it was certainly worth it.

You'll skip the queues at the bottom and go straight up to the first floor in a lift. If you are looking to do something in Paris for your partner or customers, you can't beat this.

A basic Southern Indian restaurant specialising in parathas (stuffed pancakes) located in the heart of Paris's little visited Indian quarter. It is cheaper and more relaxed than the now all too touristy falafal in the Marrais.

The Masala Paratha at just €4.50 includes a large gently spiced Paratha with a fiery dahl along with a couple of dips. There are selections of authentic Southern Indian snacks which you can buy to take away. Friendly service and the sure fire sign of quality - largely frequented by the local Indian population.

Quick, filling and perfectly placed for a pre or post Eurostar meal it is the best value meal I know of in Paris.

Mouff-Tarte

Posted by Davidco 22 July 2009

After a walking through the very chic neighbourhood of St Germain where cash is king, switch to the Quartier Latin for a meal solely based on tartes. It is cheap, very cheap, it is cheerful and above all, the chocolate and raspberry tarte is so good it may make you tear up.

Gusto

Posted by laurastuckinparis 16 February 2009

New Italian restaurant and deli in the Marais. The couple who own the place both have Italian origins. Reasonably priced plats du jour, cold meat and cheese platters. Fantastic ice creams! You can find a review on the 'Fooding' website- if you speak a bit of French!

Coffee Parisien

Posted by yabez 30 December 2008

Don't go to the Coffee Parisien if you're looking for a typical French place. It's a diner where you'll have a good American brunch on weekends. They do great eggs benedict, pancakes and burgers.
Several locations in Paris but I prefer the one in St-Germain.

This is a website I just stumbled upon this morning, which is dedicated to Paris top restaurants. Worth a visit, especially for its list of the very top French cuisine restaurants and their worldwide acclaimed chefs (Michelin-starred, etc).

Le Chartier

Posted by kristi383 21 July 2008

Great French restaurant full of locals and great atmosphere! It is massive with two floors and the menu offers many dishes at cheap prices. Great for families travelling on a budget who want to visit a traditional French restaurant. Go early to avoid queues, however it shouldn't be a long waiting time.

La Strasbourgeoise

Posted by kristi383 21 July 2008

Very nice French restaurant, grand and expensive-looking, like from a movie. They have a vast English menu, the salmon I had was fantastic, also a good range of desserts. Waiters were very friendly as well and spoke good English.

Mon Vieil Ami

Posted by mp3cityguides 1 June 2008

This is a lovely little bistrot in the Ile Saint Louis which so many visitors miss. We'd walked all the way from the Place de l'Opera and by the time we reached the island we were starving. Parisian food is very variable but this restaurant has an interesting, imaginative take on the bistrot staples such as confit de canard and boeuf bourginon. All the food is beautifully prepared and the service is friendly and helpful.

Coco et Co

Posted by julietb 21 January 2008

My husband and I stumbled across Coco & Co a few days after it opened when we were hungry after a morning's shopping in 6e.

Although the idea of a restaurant which pretty much only serves eggs might sound odd, when you do something so well, why mess with the formula?
Eggs expertly and lovingly cooked any way you could dream of (foie gras omelettes, eggs benedict, oeuffs cocotte, lavender scrambled eggs even) and served with scrumptious home-fries and salad for a reasonable price and in cosy yet chic surroundings with service so friendly you might even forget you're in Paris.

Eat in Paris

Posted by anna12345 15 January 2008

Found a good website for finding a restaurant in Paris… other websites seem only to have telephone numbers but this one provides maps and a great online booking service which is unusual for Paris but great for us Brits who like to plan ahead.

Auberge d'Chez Eux

Posted by Stuart Hulme 15 October 2007

For a quick Gallic culture fix, catch a morning Eurostar to Paris and head to Auberge d'chez eux, an unashamedly old school bistro in the seventh.

Enjoy the rich, generous cuisine of south-west France from a window table, complete with traditional red checked cloth, overlooking Les Invalides. President Chirac liked to impress foreign leaders with lunch here, such is its reputation.

Later take in a cognac or two at Lipp on sophisticated Boulevard Saint-Germain, followed by a peaceful stroll around Ile Saint-Louis, before catching a late train home with the feeling that all is well with the world.

Take refuge in fondue

Posted by Kathy Collis 15 October 2007

For a formidable fondue feast, I recommend the Refuge de Fondues, 17 Rue de Trois Freres (near bottom of Sacre Coeur). It's a fab little restaurant with graffiti-covered walls and long tables where you eat elbow to elbow with other diners.
