Good places to eat in Paris?

Question

My husband and I are going to France this October and I am looking for any good places to eat. I know we would like to have at least one dinner that is more fancy, but otherwise what are some nice places close in the city?

Also, what are the best shops for chocolate, wine, cheese, etc? Thank you!

Answer 1

pkyzztar is SO right...Paris is a hellish hole...I would rather be in dantes inferno than ever(And i mean EVER) spend any time in Paris again....dropping a nuke on Paris would probably be considered an Urban improvement...I beg you all, never, ever,ever, be tempted to go there...

Answer 2

Wow!  People sure are mean.  I just want to say first that I've had a great experience in Paris and love living in this city.

There are TONS of great places to eat in the city.  To name them all is impossible.  But the Zagat guide does a pretty darn good job.  

For a more personal recommendation, try the following:

Vendanges, 40 rue Friant, Metro Porte d'Orleans

Le Bec Rouge, 46 bis boulevard Montparnasse, Metro Montparnasse Bienvenue

Both are excellent, prices are about midrange.

But the best part of Paris is just going around and discovering unique places.  Try to stay away from the main tourist areas, and instead just go around the corner.

Answer 3

Mo. Mo. Mo.

Haven't you been listening?

There is NO PLACE good to eat in Paris.

Do you know why?

Because it's in FRANCE!

If you want to, you can come by my place and I'll be rude and insult you for free. Save your money. You will hate this trip.

Been there. Will NEVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER, EVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER EVER go back.

Offer me a free trip to Paris.

Nope. I won't go.

Offer to PAY me to go to Paris.

Nope. No way.

If you are FROM Paris, then I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm sorry your city stinks.

I'm sorry that your city makes New York City look like the Welcome Wagon.

DO NOT GO!
