Paris Dining questions
I'll be in Paris in mid September, most likely staying in Les Halles in 1er Arrondisement.
One night I would like to treat myself to a good dinner, in the €150 range. Near to the hotel is preferable. I found Gerard Besson which has a Michelin star and a tasting menu for €125, which sounds perfect. Does anyone have any experience there or other recommendations for something similar? Also, one night I will probably like to play at Aviation Club, can someone recommend a more moderately priced bistro or brasserie close to ACP? |

Re: Paris Dining questions
I can't really answer many of your questions, but you should probably look for a place that isn't close to the ACP/Champs-Elysees area--this area is very touristy and expensive.

[/ QUOTE ] I've never heard of a Parisian leaving anything more than the change at most. A 15% service charge is included in all meals in Paris. |

Le Train Bleu is the nuts. For real. Their website is also in English.
