I am going to Paris France in March and was wondering what are some good places to eat and costs to eat?

Question

What are costs for good bottles of wine in the restuarants too?

Answer 1

you'll find lovely restaurants all over Paris.  March is nice and warm, find a table outside (you'll see many), order a bottle of wine and some dinner.  Finding a good place will be easy, believe me.  Also, if you have a chance, go to the coast.  It's a bit cheaper and so beautiful.

Answer 2

paris is expensive, everywhere, theres no such thing as a cheap meal or bottle of wine, but smaller supermarkets sell cheaper bottles, u wont get a bottle for less than 7 euro

Answer 3

In a sense its easier to name the places that aren't good. Food is one of the primary pleasures of Paris.

There has been some decline in standards in the 3+ decades I've been visiting France but but you can still stroll into most little neighborhood cafes and order the special of the day (which will usually be scrawled on a chalkboard) and get something that's both tasty and good value.

Its probably a good idea to stay away from any place that is in the immediate vicinity of a major tourist attraction or makes a point of advertising that "English spoken" although that may paint with too broad a brush. The Tour D'argent is, after all, cheek by jowl with Notre Dame. Then again, they're damned pricey and lost a Michelin star last year.

But okay, I suspect you just want to know where people on this site have had a good meal. So here's some places I recall eating last March.

Aux Trois Mailletz. 56, rue Galand (5th arr) This is a place I  hang out most evenings. I mainly go there because its got a piano and live music and I've been known to sing there myself. But they turn out basic bistrot food very nicely and the prices are reasonable.

Indonesia 12, rue de Vaugirard (6th) I suppose most people don't go to Paris for Indonesian food but this is a pretty good place and I like the guy who owns it. If you've never done Indonesian food this is something you might try. (There are lots of such places in the netherlands).

The Conti 1, rue de Buci This is the Cafe down the street from my favorite hotel.  Nothing really special about the food but its a very friendly place and an excellant spot for a sandwich and a glass of wine. Its also open close to all day and night.

Le Bon Aloi 5, rue Sauval (1st) Okay, this is a really a serious restaurant despite the fact that the chef/owner is a fan of karaoke. Have the goat cheese rolled in bacon served warm on a bed of greens with pecans for a starter. Very tasty. Starters are 7-13 euros, Mains from 8-27ε, and desserts from 6-8ε. Prix fix (which include wine and Karaoke (seriously)) run from 36-55ε

Polidor 41, Monsieur le Prince (6th) is a classic cheap eats place. It's extremely popular and crowded. Somewhat hectic but the food is good value.

Jim Haynes..Jim isn't a restaurant he's a person. A very interesting one. He's one of the people who defined the 1960's. He throws a dinner every sunday night. Everyone kicks in 20 euros and Jim, with the help of a devoted crew, turns out dinner for anywhere from 80-100 people in his Paris atelier. There's an open bar and the whole evening is very convivial. Everyone from professors to artists to rock stars and famous actors can turn up. Send him an e-mail and you'll be invited.  check out his website for more info: http://www.jim-haynes.com/index.htm

Answer 4

Eating out for dinner is really fun, but to keep costs low, find a local grocery store, and a bread store for lunch. Cheese, a baguette, some fresh fruit, and some Badoit water is all you need for lunch and snacking.
