Inexpensive Restaurants In Paris, France?

Question

My sister and I are going on a trip to France in the coming months, and I would like to have a list of inexpensive restaurants. We are each looking to spend around 10 to 15 euros for lunch and 20 to 25 euros for dinner and we are spending 5 days and 4 nights so we could really use all the help we can get.

Answer 1

Inexpensive? In Paris? I don't think there is such a thing.

Answer 2

You'll find that there are plenty of places where meals can be had within that price range.

French law requires that cafes and restaurants post their prices in the window. Wherever you go you can check the prices before entering.

In France the term "menu" refers to a fixed price meal, usually with somewhat limited choices and almost always a good buy. (What English speakers refer to as a menu is called "la carte" in France.)

For some specific reccomendations:

L' Auberge au Pot de Terre at 22 rue du Pot de fer (5th arr) has an evening menu for 11.50 . http://www.lepotdeterre.com/index2.htm

La Brouette at 39/41 rue Descartes (5th) serves up an all you can eat Fondue Bourguignonne with potatoes and vegatables for 20.90 €  http://www.labrouette.fr/

La Lozere at 4, rue Hautefeuille (6th) has an excellant menu for 21.90 €  On thursday nights they make "aligot" a fantastic mashed potato dish made with cheese and heavy cream. http://www.lozere-a-paris.com/

Crepes a Gogo at 12 rue Soufflot (5th) Paris has an all the crepes (both savory and sweet) you can eat for 18 €  on Wednesday nights.

La Méthode at 2, rue Descartes (5th) has main course for 10-15 €  and draws a pleasant crowd with a lot of students.

The Restaurant Maupertu at 94, Boulevard de La Tour Maubourg (7th) has an excellant lunchtime menu for 23 €. http://www.restaurant-maupertu-paris.com...

Answer 3

you'll find it easily if you don't stay in the great quarters (rich), in the heart of paris you can find good restaurants.

Anything inexpensive ? Try the french pancakes (crêpes) thats excelent, but i think 3 or 4 € for only one, i can cook more than 100 crêpes for this price lol
