I'm staying 2 weeks in Paris at the Hôtel Université Saint Germain des Prés.
Can I please get some moderately (*) priced restaurant recommendations around the hotel and also throughout Paris?
Can I get some recommendations for cafes for a coffee or drink to just sit and people watch?
(*) $$ or $$$ in google reviews
My favorite restaurant near this hotel, just around the corner, is Eclipses which is about 100€ per person without drinks.
More moderately priced, about 40€ to 50€ per person, and close by, I really like:
Some of the most interesting restaurants in this area are along Rue du Cherche Midi where you´ll find Petit Verdot, Paul Chêne, and Chez Dumonet.
Of course if you just want to sit and watch people, why not Les Deux Magots (currently closed for remodeling), Café de Flore, or Café Louise.
I have no idea what $$ might possible be in google. $$ could be dollars in Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Please just reference euros.
Chez Dumonet has a fabulous grand marnier souffle and the best boeuf bourguignon we have found in Paris.
Coffe Spots:
Noir: 9 Rue de Luynes
Saint Pearl: 39 Rue des Saints-Peres
If you are open to cuisines beyond French food, one of our favorite meals was Kapunka Thai!
