Very grateful that it looks like we will be able to visit France in 2 wks…after cancelling multiple trips, we dragged our feet a bit on planning (assuming this one may be cancelled) We are traveling with our 12yr old - she’s desperate to be an adventurous foodie but isn’t quite there yet (meaning lots of offal, or very avant garde is a no go).
We’ve pulled together some ideas largely based on where we are staying, but open to reasonable travel (20-30 min walk or train). What we’re looking for is good, solid food at a reasonable price point. We’d like one “traditional” option in each city, but completely open past that and prefer not to eat the same food in a different location each evening. We have one nicer option in Lyon booked.
Lyon (staying in Vieux Lyon) - need a Sunday night option here
- Notre Maison
- L’Atelier des Augustins (nicer option)
- Le Cabaretier
- La Gache
Beaune (need a Monday night option here)
- La Buissonniere
- Le P’Tit Paradis
Was hoping for a reservation at La Lune, but they may be on holiday and suggested we write back in early April (they weren’t sure if they’d be able to travel)
Paris (for some reason really struggling with where to book here) - we are staying near Place Vendome
- La Regalade St Honore (throwback, really - we ate at the original Montparnasse location our first time in Paris)
- Le Mermouz (via Paris by mouth - we’ll be doing one of their tours during our stay)
- Juveniles
Any feedback or recommendations are most welcome. I’ve always appreciated the supportive advice from Chowhound and promise to report back with where we went and what we thought! Thank you –
