Paris Restaurant Recommendations

[anthro-nerd]

Morning all!

I'm heading to Paris in April with my man (yay!) and I was wondering if you lovely lot had any restaurant recommendations? Something French, but not frogs legs and snails type French!!

you are in Paris the home of haute cuisine, you will find restaurants that look ordinary but the food is always good, can't give you a name but if you want to splash out take a trip on the Bateaux Mouche, where you can also dine in the evenings.

Thanks Emmie :-)

you should get good weather, so long walks around the place, but the metro is also excellent for getting about.

Look for the smaller not glitzy tourist places...if you have a guide ask where he/ she eats. Expect tourist prices in tourist attractions

I love La Grisette. It's not posh but the food and service are excellent and the prices very reasonable. There's a varied menu, with something for everyone's taste. (The menus on the tables are in French but, if you weren't paying attention in your French lessons at school, there's usually a blackboard outside with everything in English).

As I've said, it's definitely not posh; it's just a typical street corner café really ( https://tinyurl.com/yanfevbf and https://tinyurl.com/ydh2layn ) but it's worth seeking out if you want to find a place that's mainly patronised by discerning locals, rather than dishing out overpriced food to tourists

The address is 27 Rue du Faubourg du Temple, 75010 Paris. It's a 5-minute stroll from République Metro station, on lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11.

The snails and frogs’ legs bit is a myth. In all the times I’ve been to Paris I have never been in a restaurant/café which has either on the menu. The overwhelming majority of French folk go through their entire lives without tasting either.
