Likewise, with its daily special set menus and extremely friendly (and English speaking!) waiters, there is no wonder why Chez Germaine is so popular for both locals and tourists alike.
If it is classic French dishes you are after, I would recommend a homemade terrine to start with, followed by pork with lentils. If you are still not full after that (doubtful), I would top the meal off with a papillon au chocolat. Glorious!
Suitable for both romantic dinner dates and a family lunch, though one final tip would be to book in advance as it is a little small and obviously always crowded!
Set lunch and dinner with three courses- €18.60.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/33880 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31305 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31305 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30975 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30975 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29980 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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29980 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29072 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25733 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25733 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25352
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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25352 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23612
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.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23612 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23610 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23610 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21491 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21491 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21099 Several locations in Paris but I prefer the one in St-Germain.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21099 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21097 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21097 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21096 Reservations recommended, check if they accept credit card]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21096
