Le George at Centre Pompidou and Les Ombres at Quai Branly are 2 excellent ideas, BUT for Les Ombres, you have to reserve early in advance because it's often full.
For le George, don't hesitate to refuse the 1st table they give you if it's not fine(if weather is nice, you can eat outside+++). Sometimes,foreigners and family are in the middle and not on the tables with views...
For both, menu is fine and prices not too high.
For me, les Ombres is better than
Le George.
For your anniversary, La table de Joel Robuchon-avenue Bugeaud is a
2 stars Michelin, but not too expensive. Service is fine, menu is excellent and it's possible to have "intimity" as tables are not too close one/others...The day can combin this restaurant and the Marmottan museum(Monet).
The others 2 or 3 stars are more expensive. A lot have websites.
If you are not for a diner's option only, often the lunch menu is good and much less expensive...(Lasserre ie have a lunch menu at 75 € vs 185 € at diner and the one for the actual weeks is wonderful...).
The best way to shop is to walk...
Try to give a you a destination per day , ie Musée d'Orsay and to walk to go and to come back with a different way and you'll find shops all around...
If not, the great adress are in Rue du faubourg Saint Honore and Rue Royale(YSL, Leonard, Lalique,...) but also around the corner rue de Rennes/Bvd Saint Germain(Celine,Lancel,Custo,...) and avenue
Montaigne(also the "haute couture"
.
In the "Marais" : rue des Francs Bourgeois and around, you can find more small designers and stylists.
For the musée d'Orsay, if there is a
special exhibit, it worth the price to buy a ticket with a pre-reservation with horary schedule and so you avoid the queue, often very long at this place...
