Paris: Traditional French food in the 6ieme?
Hello Friends,
Headed to Paris tomorrow for just two days before heading back to the grind in the US. I'm staying in the 6Ieme just off Blvd St Germain, between rue de Seine and the Mabillon Metro and am hoping to find some traditional café food -- croque monsieur, steak frites somewhere hidden within the ubiquitous "pizza" signs, any suggestions?
Also looking for good patisseries in the area please!
Finally, will I be met with disdain if I ask for an Aperol spritz? What are Parisians drinking these days?
Many thanks,
27

near the Pantheon, within walking distance of where you are staying, is Restaurant Perraudin which I recommend.
You can find a list of several other restaurants in the area at http://tomsguidetoparis.com/LeftBankRestaurants.php

Spritz is 'très en vogue' très chère(e).
Croque moniseur is more likely to be met with disdain and result in some metro food (metro is a brand of frozen food).
boucherie Roulière rue des canettes has fantastic meat.
Been to le pied de fouet, loved it. Typical (!).

Wow! Thanks for all the great answers!
Kerouac, you're a jerk. Yes I have physical disabilities which make it easier to be near my hotel by the end of a long day... so take your foot out of your mouth and try to remember what proper etiquette is. If you wouldn't say it to my face, don't say it here!
I just came back from a wonderful dinner, neither steak nor cheap I confess, at Le Recamier, a soufflé place that also has non soufflé food. But once I heard of it I had to go... Souffles were cooked perfectly, with the right amount of seasoning/flavoring, etc, and I got a last minute reservation by being willing to eat indoors.
NOW how do I choose among these for my last few meals?
Again, many thanks!

The 6th is tough because it's loaded with not very good tourist restaurants, Bistro Paul Bert in the 11th and La Bourse et La Vie in the 1st (not far from 6th) are my two favorite steak frites places. Go to chowhound.com if you want great restaurant advice for Paris. Or here's the famous John Talbott's food blog. He recommends Restaurant AG and Ze Kitchen Gallerie in the 6th.

If you had only included information about your mobility issues, it would have been much easier to give you better choices.
Many people think that there are invisible walls surrounding different arrondissements.
It would be easy enough for you to take a taxi anywhere you'd like to go.
