Hi rainy day

Is your breakfast included in your hotel rate? I was once able to negotiate an included breakfast in Paris, since we were staying longer than a few days. Maybe you can, too?

Another good place, this one located on Place Dauphine at the tip of the island (just off the Pont Neuf bridge), is Ma Salle a Manger (at least I think that is the name of it). Nice guys running the place and good, inexpensive food. They also serve an incredibly rich hot chocolate. It is a small cafe and very casual.

Oh, thank you for all these suggestions!! Now my mouth is totally watering.

Great thread, thanks for posting. Zoecat, that sounds like just the thing for us. :-)
