I'm off to Paris for a couple of days in late March, en route to meeting friends for a long weekend in Reims. I'd love to get some recommendations for restaurants for a solo woman diner, preferably in/near/easily accesible from the Marais. I've never had a problem being alone, but undoubtedly some places make you feel more comfortable than others. Price is (relatively speaking) unimportant, quality of food, wine & ambience is. And as an aside, if anyone has any recommendations for the Champagne region that would be great too!

Rino, in the 11th, isn't too far. Great for lunch.

Downstairs in the Wine Cellar at Spring. Also easy to get to from Marais.

We always have a good meal and a good time at Café des Musées, on Rue de Turenne. Open Sundays and for lunch.

Much more casual but great for breakfast or lunch is Breizh Cafe, for their excellent crepes.
