Food in Paris France

Bonnie, one thing about the post here is we all have different taste and opinions. While you may get a great review to go to "cafe A", you may find it disgusting.

I think the best way to go is to read the menu, poke inside and if there's a lot of (non English) speakers, get a table. Also if the menu is in English, chances are its a tourist trap

Best crepes are at a street window on the corner across the bridge from Notre Dame and kitty corner to St Chapelle, there is an awning that says " Berthillions"( the best ice cream in Paris, try it) and they make the crepes fresh in front of you ( I don't like it when they make the crepe ahead of time and just take it out of a warmer) . The ham cheese and fresh tomatoe is to die for,, can't wait to get one again this July. I buy crepes from any street cart too, but I always make sure they are fresh pouring them .

Hi Bonnie,

bon appétit! ... P

As mentioned before, everyone has different tastes and you can spend a lot on food in Paris.

I would stick with the RS 2008 Paris Guide and you'll have a much better dining experience.

The square around the Stravinsky fountain (a must-see for me!) has a great crepe place. You can sit outside, eat great crepes, watch the fountain with the Pompideau center as a backdrop. Street vendors are also a favorite.

French soup at Pied du Conchon (sp?) is always great and is in Rick's book.

Throw a rock... unlike fish and chips, which are becoming more rare in London, you can find these anywhere.
