I've booked a long weekend to Paris for my girlfriend's Birthday in March and have been looking for somewhere nice to eat. Paul Chene comes highly rated on Trip Advisor and the attached photos of food look stunning! yum

I'd like to book a table with them in advance, but I'm concerned by the lack of prices ... I had a look on their website to find a menu, but no mention of costs. Trip Advisor states around £67-89, but someone mentioned approximately 20-50Euros per course per person. Is this right? Has anyone been? It's probably worth noting that we don't really drink, so champagne or wine prices are not an issue!

Are there any other nice restaurants in Paris worth visiting? smile

My son live in Paris and recomends L'amis Jean , google it for directions etc. It is very informal but very very good it is also very busy so if you are looking for a quiet evening leave it off your itinery !

Excellent! Thanks for all the suggestions! thumbup Les Bouquinistes looks to be a short walk away from our hotel, so providing the OH is happy with the menu, that's one night sorted! Now to find one more restaurant ... Le Train Bleu looks interesting! smile

Le 58 Tour Eiffel.

Food is very, very good.

View is unsurpassed.

Booking essential and ask for a window seat. I was there c18months ago and the bill (with 2 bottles of good wine) was €200 for 2.

Le Relais de Venise

Two items on the menu:
Walnut Salad for starters
Steak & chips for main

No reservations, and you'll have to queue outside.

I cannot recommend this place enough!

Pierre Gagnaire is awesome.

Eschew Le Train Bleu in favour of A La Biche Au Bois in the winter. Just a bit down Ledru-Rollinrollinollin.

The Estoufade de Sanglier (and pretty much every other "game slow cooked in Le Creuset" dish) is fab. And the free flowing Armangac too smile
