Another Les Papilles voter here
Josephine Chez Dumonet is a fabulous old school bistro but on the formal side. We really enjoy La Regalade, especially the original location in 14e although the St. Honore location is also just as good (the former is a bit more local). I love the platter of homemade rustic pate they offer with the bread. This is probably our default restaurant whenever we go to Paris. Ambassador D'Auvergne is classic Alsatian food and very good. Chez Denise is another great option. A la Biche au Bois is a fabulous little bistro. Any of Daniel Rose's restaurants. La Bourse et la Vie is probably the most accessible and reasonable one. He may be American but the cooking is French and he is truly excellent. Chez L'Ami Jean is famous and has the best rice pudding ever. Tiny place, boisterous and fun. Another thing to be aware is that all good restaurants in Paris will have many tourists. So many people go to Paris to dine. Does it matter if there are multiple languages being spoken instead of just French as long as the food is wonderful? |
| Alain Ducasse's Benoit is a classic, very traditional French bistro with a Michelin star near the Hotel de Ville. A 3 course lunch is about 40 euros. Beautiful calm and quiet restaurant with great people watching of very well-heeled Parisians. The savarin with boozy armagnac whipped cream is one of my favorite desserts of all time. |

And open SUPER late with quirky locals. Had a great night in Paris last year eating a HUGE steak at 2am with friends. Talked with a brother and sister from Alabama sitting to my right, and a super inappropriate old French guy sitting to my left. Fun, fun night. |

I second Les Papilles. While you can get escargots, etc. anywhere this is a 3 course meal in a space that is a market during the day. You can pick out your wine from their shop and enjoy it with dinner. Fantastic atmosphere, really nice neighborhood to walk around after.
