I've been reading everyone's recommendations for restaurants, esp. in Paris. My husband and I have been to Europe three times, but always in shoulder months. We're taking two teenagers to Paris, London, and Munich the last week of July/first week of August this time. Do we need reservations for dinner, or will we find plenty of options if we just stop along our travels? (We're not picky eaters and will basically just want something tasty in our stomachs.) Thanks.

Could anyone give me some input?

If you really not picky eaters I see no reason why you would need reservations. Just walk along the street/avenue, find a restaurant and menu that looks OK, if it's not crowded go in. If it is crowded, keep walking until you find one. I'd think you would need reservations for well-known or locally-popular restaurants, but if you're really not picky, then no problem.

If there are restaurants you especially want to visit, be sure to make reservations. If you don't care, there are lots of good places to eat with no need to reserve.

Hi E,

Reservations are generally not required, but if you find a place you like, I suggest making a reservation the night before or in the AM.

Small restaurants fill up quickly.

Thanks for the responses.... I was picturing my poor family trudging from one full restaurant to another, but I didn't really want to tie us down to specific times and locales if I didn't need to!

You can usually reserve for the same day quite easily if you do it in the afternoon...very popular restaurants may be difficult to get a table by just showing up. Your hotel can be quite helpful placing them for you in advance.

If a restaurant is very busy, go in and book a table for the next day. Sometimes the places that have lots of free tables are not the ones where you want to eat!
