My family of 5 (3 adults & 2 older teenage boys) will be taking our 1st trip to Paris this coming October, and staying at the Hotel Le Clement in the 6th (6 rue Clement). I would love to have some suggestions of fun/lively/good cafes and/or restaurants in the immediate area of our hotel, say within a 15-minute walk.

I've copied (below) the spot where our hotel is, if this should help. Thanks so much! This will certainly be very helpful.

If a 20-25 minute walk isn't too far, I like Perraudin on rue St Jacques. Casual, charming, good food, and they have a prix fixe menu in addition to a la carte dishes.

My wife and I and our teenage grandchild were in Paris in October and she liked, in particular, the following:
le Raleis de l'Entrecote which in in the 6th (right off blvd St Germaine) at 20, rue Saint-Benoit. It is nothing but steak and frittes with "seconds" if you wish. Very popular with locals and tourists. Check it out. Another that we liked (in the neighborhood) is Claude SainLouis at 27, ru du Dragon in the 6th. Check them out.

Finally. I don't know how near this is but your family will REALLY enjoy it. AuPiano Muet on rue Mouffetard. It is a raclette restaurant as well as serving meat that you grill at the table. It is very reasonable.

It would help to know the name of your hotel.

Gee. Underhill, I'm not sure but I think the name of the hotel was "hidden" within this phrase in the first sentence of the original post:

"Hotel Le Clement in the 6th (6 rue Clement)"
