Seriously? You're going to be in Paris for 6 days and you want recommendations on special places to eat in all 20 arrondissements?
You might start by searching on Fodors for the hundreds and hundreds of Paris restaurant threads.
How about the Latin Quarter,St Germane Des Pres,the Marais,Montmartre,St. Honore
What is your take on Bofingers,I was there many years ago, and loved it?
Thanks

excellent response DebitNM
We liked Les Papilles in the 6th - near Luxemburg Garden - south of Rue Soufflot & east of Blvd. St. Michael. Must make reservations. 4 course pre fix dinner - same menu for all customers. It was delicious. Phone 01 43 25 20 79 or e-mail lespapilles@hotmail.fr. Would go back in a minute - it was fabulous.
This is one of our favorites on Ile St. Louis

Here are some good sites to do research

Fodorites love chatting about Paris and will be glad to help you, but you must do some research and narrow it down a bit. Right outside the doors of the Parc St. Severin hotel there are more restaurants than you could eat in in 6 days, much less all of Paris.
It's also fun to just wander and come upon something that looks good for the smaller bistros. The area you are staying is is great for that.
I posted a couple of food reports here.

Maybe you can find something of interest.
We greatly enjoyed our meal at Sorza in Ile de la cite.

We also like Sorza, but it is on Ile St. Louis not Ile de la Cite.
Non-touristed won't be easy.
I and others here really liked Bistro des Gastronomes. When we were there in November, there weren't other tourists, but it has since gained many mentions on websites. In the 5th, by the way. It was one of my favorite meals during a week of great eating.
Bistro des GAstronomes gets my vote 2 excellemt ny food and reasonable, 26 Euro for 3 courses. In the 5th on ren csrdia=nal lemaine, In the Maraid we like the Bouquet St Pau;. corner of Ruse st PAul and rue St Antoine<a neighborhood local
You can search my name for my Paris T/Rs....lots of restaurant info and photos.
What comes to mind quickly is Le Souffle in the first. Citrus Etoile in the eight. Reed or Cafe Constant in the 7th. The sixth is loaded - Le Danton, les editteurs, Marco Polo and Le Comptoir to name a few. Au Vieux Chene in the 11th. L'Orangerie on Ile St Louis, in the fourth. Cafe de la Paix in the 9th across from Opera Garnier.
I think that, in general, you can assume most places outside the main central part of Paris will generally be nontouristed and those in the center will have tourists (and parts of the 7th around rue Cler and Ecole Militaire, and up in Montmartre around Sacre Coeur, of course), that's generally the way it works.
Okay, I'll suggest places in the 15th: My favorite bistro in the 15th is Bistro Champetre on rue St Charles. Bet you won't go there. By favorite cafes are Le Linois at place Charles Michels and Le Bouquet de Grenelle just in front of la Motte-Picquet metro stop. These are nothing that special, I just find them good locations for people-watching and relaxing in the areas I tend to be. I don't really go to wine bars much.
bookmarking..would be so cool to do each area's best eating place! that would be a trip!
We also loved "L'Orangerie" on Ile St. Louis but unfortuneately it has closed.
I was just there for 3 weeks in May and out of all the restaurants I ate at, I've got to say that I LOVE La Cadole. Must have gone there 5 or 6 times.

It's in the 6th arr. and about a 3 minute walk from Duroc metro station so it's not hard to find. About 25 euro for a 3 course meal, super fresh and real French food frequented by locals in that area. The owner Thierry is super nice with good English and has no problem going over the menu with you to explain what each dish is. If you go, tell him Alice recommended it and says hi
very ambitious but I am bookmarking, just in case, this thread develops into a restaurant guide. I think what is overwhelming about Paris is choice. So much to choose from.
I keep confusing those two, TPAYT! Thanks for the correction. We had their early dinner, before 7 pm, I think it was 17 euros for 3 course meal.... amazing. Their parmesan rissotto was sublime and the french onion soup was quite respectable.
Hey, TPAYT....there are current reviews of L'Orangerie on Trip Advisor! I don't know why it wasn't open when you were there but there are reviews from May and June of 2012. So, it appears L'Orangerie lives!
Hi denisea---thanks for the update. L'Orangerie was one of our favorite places last Sept-Oct. The food, wine, & service was wonderful. A month or 2 later someone posted that it was closed. Maybe it was just for a short time. I'm glad to see the recent TA reviews and we will definitely have dinner there again in Sept. 2012.
Anyone who would not enjoy meals at Le Souffle must be deranged.
Start with the escargots, the scallops, or a tomato and basil or other souffle; then then duck with peaches, which is simply divine; finish with a Grand Marinier or peach and apricot souffle, each served with a bottle of the liquor. Also their rolls are the best and the waiters are charming. Lunch or dinner, reservations essential.
I'm getting hungry just reading these posts. I'm heading to Paris in a few days and am bookmarking. Thanks, all. Diane

I hear you RonZ on the Grand Marnier souffle at Le Souffle. Did they bring the bottle for you to GM as needed? We throroughly enjoyed it!
I know TPAYT... I almost didn't check on L'Orangerie but am glad I did. We really liked our lunch there.
We like Bistro de Breteuil in the 7th. 42 euros for three courses including a Kir Royal, wine and coffee. Love Les Papilles.
Reed in the 7th. Le Comptoir in the 6th and Pizza Flora in the 15th ( we always stay in the 15th and start every trip with a 1st meal here- lovely little family restaurant on Rue Cambronne)
Some of our favorites are Le Regalade St. Honore in the 1st, Le Regalade in the 14th, Ze Kitchen Gallerie and L'Epi Dupin in the 6th and the Constant restaurants in the 7th.
I'll also add La Creperie de Josselin in the 14th (i think). Huge and I'm talking HUGE portions, cider in cute bowls, rustic deco and friendly waiters. Menus are in french, english and japanese. That area is full of creperies but basically just look for the one with the biggest line outside and it will probably be Josselin.
thank you all, very helpful.
