Dining in Paris with kids - recommendations?

[Anonymous]

Do you any favorite spots? We are hitting the normal attractions - Effiel Tower, Catacombs, Louvre - and have 3 kids 12 and under. They eat a ton, they are always hungry, and I don't want to pay $200.00 at every meal because they'll just be hungry again 20 minutes later! I'd love your favorite places that filled up the kids but didn't break the bank.

We packed lunches- hit the grocery store- bread( baguette), cheese, excellent jams/jellies, and drinks too ( ind packed chocolate milk or juice). Yogurt and other snacks to go.

Then get dessert ( macaroons etc) at a patisserie on your way.

Other option is an occasional meal at McDonalds.

Le Cafe du Commerce has a neat setting. You'd probably need to metro there.

There are plenty of quick serve options that are perfectly fine for kids, with meals in the 10-15 euro range.

And yes many sit down places have kids meals that are in that price range as well. And those include tax and service/tip, so you will probably be able to get out of a lot of places for around 90-100 euros even if they are sit down.

We liked this small, inexpensive creperie in central Paris. A family member liked it on a previous visit so it seems reliable. It's near enough to the central Berthillon ice cream parlor (the company's main location itself, not restaurants that sell the ice cream) to make a trek to Berthillon for take-out dessert.

I think a crepe meal was probably about $15?

We pop into the bakeries selling jambon beurre sandwiches - delicious and usually $4-6 euro. Pret a manger all over too for similar sandwiches that you can walk and eat.

For dinner, touristy but if you like steak frites, relais de l’entrecote. Pretty reasonable too.

My kids also really love jambon beurre sandwiches as well. LOTS of patisserie's have sandwiches and increasingly have drinks and even a little seating available. My kids loved going to Angelina's in the Louvre and getting hot chocolate and pastries Creperie's also are well loved. If you are going when it is warm, I recommend looking for casual bistro's or cafe's with outdoor seating. There will probably be someone smoking nearby BUT you are outside, kids can be a little louder and more rambunctious so I tend to feel more comfortable.
