Off to Paris on fri for the start of our honeymoon, can someone recommend a good restaurant for snails. I've been looking at l escargot monreile but I've been reading that there are good restaurants off the tourist route that do just as good food for less.

Thanks

Ps, recommendations for Madrid, Pau, Valencia, Millau and Girons also welcome smile

My recommendation is to steer clear of Paris.

Its a st hole and an overpriced one at that.

I can't help you with snails, but I can heartily recommend La Belle Villoise for a Sunday brunch. It's tucked out of the way but it's incredible and well worth the trip. You will need to book.

Paris usually goes by If you can see the eiffel tower from the restaurant add 30% . Eat in the restaurant a few streets from the main areas and you will save yourself a decent chunck and because its france still get decent food.

Food there is good, but it's always been ridiculously busy when I've been.

Agree, I have eaten there many times.

This place is worth a look as well. http://www.bistrotdupeintre.com/

Vixpy, when me and the wife got engaged we went to a lovely little restaurant called L'Jardin D'Ivy on Rue Mouffetard.

The food was divine for the price.
