For dinner-time. We are charged with selecting one for a group of 8. Youngest kid is 4.
We were asked for "typical French fare". When I go to Paris, I eat my favorite Berber couscous, Peking duck and lamen, not in the same places, and perhaps sarrasin crepes with cidre, but I don't do typical French! There's no such thing anyway. However this is the request from people I don't say no to. Any ideas? |
There is a restaurant on top of a museum with anthropology exhibits next to Eiffel. Ombres? I remember it meant shadow in French. Not much help—but I will say the food was French and there were a few kids there when we were there when it first opened at 7pm. It had an outdoor area and good view of the tower. |
Uh, there is typical French. Your typical brasserie has a pretty similar menu across the board. Which I love. Even the bistros are more similar than dissimilar. It's the quality that varies, not the style of food on offer. Just go to TheFork for Paris and see what restaurants are available in your area. https://www.thefork.com/city/paris/415144 |
The "typical French" thing would be to pack a picnic and eat it in the gardens the Eiffel Tower - but it doesn't sound like that will fly with your group. |
For what it's worth the neighborhood just to the east of the Eiffel tower (towards the center of town) has a bunch of restaurants-- we had a nice sidewalk lunch at one. |

Cafe Constant seems like it would be a good choice. |
