We stopped to this bar to have a drink after a nice evening walk on Champs-Elysees.

The atmosphere is friendly and the music is very good.

Restaurant Name: Crepofolie's - Creperie Preface

We stopped to this small and intimate creperie during our walk in Montmartre.
It had only 6 tables and it was so small than there was no other space even for a neddle, but it seemed so well fitted in Montmartre's scenery.
Of course the main dish consisted in the famous French crepes (all kinds of crepes), but there was also a wide range of salads and quiches accompanied by Cider.
The lady taking care of the creperie seemed to us a bit cold and distant, but we identified this as the typical french attitude as the place was full of foreigners and no one received any smile from her.
At least during our stay there...

Prices:
Crepes with cheese or with ham and ananas - EUR 7.5-9
Crepes norvegienne (with Salmon) - EUR 11.5
Crepes Indiana (with chicken, spinach, cream and curry) - EUR 11
Caffe au lait _ EUR 3
Beer - EUR 3.3

Restaurant Name: Le Solail d'Or Cafe

This nice and elegant coffee shop is located near Notre-Dame and the hot coffee we enjoyed here after climbing the tower of the cathedral was perfect, considering the cold weather and the rain outside.
The atmosphere is pleasant and the waiters were very polite and prompt.
It's the perfect place to admire the Seine and taste a good French coffee.

Menu HippoDuo - EUR 14.5 (First + Second or Second + Dessert)
Assiette de Mezze (Salade d’aubergines, Tarama, Hounous and Tzadziki) - EUR 9.9

Second: Brochette de boeuf or Blanc de Poulet au Grill ou Piece du Boucher

Address: 29, rue Berger 75001
Directions: Metro : Les Halles

This was probably not the best option for eating a good French meal, but considering that it was our first night in Paris and was quite late, it was one of the few possibilities we had in Les Halles area.
The food it was pretty good, although the meat was too much fried and the portions too small.
A menu, including the first (soup or salad), the second (fish or steak) and sweets, had prices from EUR 11.5 to 15-.
The waiters were polite although at the end they added to our check a menu that we didn’t order.

Restaurant Name: Paul Boulangerie

I have to admit that I had no idea about what quiche-lorrain means (or better tastes) before going to Paris.
But now thinking back... hmmm... how much I'd like to taste another one.
A ham, cheese and eggs pie, the best quiche-lorrain I've eaten in Paris was the one bought from Paul Boulangerie.
A famous French brand, Paul is offering a wide range of pastry, different types of bread, sandwiches and sweets.
Certainly not a thing to be missed in Paris...

Prices :
Quiche-lorrain - EUR 2.85
Cheese and Ham Sandwich - EUR 4.5
