Hi all, we will be in Paris for 7 nights the first week of April, and although we have lived in Paris in the past, we rarely even stop in the city these days so I am out of touch in terms of good restaurant ideas.
We will be staying almost directly across the street from the Bon Marche in the 6th. I am looking for ideas for restaurants for either lunch or dinner, more mid-range pricewise. We just don’t dress up anymore or care so much about starred places. As a matter of fact I would kind of like to avoid those places or other “Instagram famous” kind of places. It would be preferable of course to have places that are near enough to walk to, but since we are pretty central getting to most choices in the nearby neighborhoods should be pretty easy. We pretty much love all cuisines, so don’t have to have only French food ideas. Thanks in advance!
Les Botanistes might be what you’re looking for.
Literally around the corner from the Bon Marché.
We were guests of another couple last fall.
Nothing fancy going on here.
We thought the prices higher than they should be, but they could be reflective of the area.
I am a bit of a department store lover. I would make time to have at least one meal at a restaurant inside the Bon Marché, and I would also make a few trips to the Gourmet Hall for snacks and desserts.
Although above mid-range in price, you might consider the tiny, elegant / idiosyncratic and fish-focused “Table d’Aki” — just a short walk. We’ve not been for a couple years — but do plan to return.
