Hello all

I just booked a cheap flight to Paris on May 13th. Eventhough I lived there and I have friends there, I would love some Ny'ers ( and others) favorite restaurants. I would like to have one nice meal, but I dont want to spend more than $80. Otherwise, if you would give me your favorite tucked away places, doesnt matter what arrondisment, can be anways, I d be so happy

thanks everyone

Lauren

I love Cafe Mazarin in the 6th. You'll get a lot more info on the France

Forum;

How much were your tickets? I'm trying to go in September and the prices are quite HIGH.

Chez Gramond in the 6th. For me, the perfect bistro experience and one of a dying breed (M. Gramond in the kitchen and Mme. Gramond in the front of the room). Prices are reasonable, save for the wine list, which is stocked entirely with aged Bordeaux and Burgundy (and priced accordingly).

Presumably that's first-class :smile:

From what I've heard, you can expect a first class delay.

Highly recommend Polidor, 41 rue Monsieur le Prince, in the 6th, as a tucked away treasure. One of the oldest bistros in Paris, authentic atmosphere from the white lace curtains to the checkered tablecloths, inexpensive and very good food. And surprisingly, not mentioned a lot.

The human mouth is called a pie hole. The human being is called a couch potato... They drive the food, they wear the food... That keeps the food hot, that keeps the food cold. That is the altar where they worship the food, that's what they eat when they've eaten too much food, that gets rid of the guilt triggered by eating more food. Food, food, food... Over the Hedge

That's an exceptionally good price.

congratulations!

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

Best I can do for September so far is $750; Did you use Priceline or Hotwire or any of those "blind" bidding services?

I don't think that fare is available anymore. It was on Cheaptickets.com. Might try Continental.

Let me pile on against Polidor. It does have the appropriate appearance, but... About thirty years ago the food was decent. Tthe last time I went, eleven years ago, nothing we ordered was worth eating, except perhaps the frites, and we had their tried and true dishes, blanquette de veau, tarte tatin, etc. This is a restaurant worth a visit as long as you don't eat there.

We reported all of this to the Parisian friend with whom we were staying. She was dismayed, "mais, c'est un classique"

Now that we're back to food in the destination and not focused on how to leave NY, I'll move this thread to the France board a little later where those who don't frequent the NY board may add their suggestions. Look for it there.

Bastide Odeon in the 15th? It is near the Luxemborg Gardens

If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How could you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!??

I had a very nice meal at Bastide Odeon last year -- very good wine list there as well -- but the decor is rather internationally bland.

I love traditional bistros, and in that regard recommend Chez Gramond and D'Chez Eau enthusiastically. In fact, I will be at both in the next 72 hours!

On Travelocity right now they have flights leaving JFK going to Charles de Gaulle in the $350- $400 range, on all kinds of airlines. For you New Yorkers interested in heading to Paris, looks like you could get a deal similar to jeunefilleparis'.

Cheers,

Fritz :smile:
