Has anyone eaten at L'epi Dupin in Paris?
Hi, I saw this restaurant recommended on Conde Nast Traveler. Anyone know anything about the food? It looks like it is in the 6th arr. Also any other suggestions for good French or Italian food in the 7th or 6th for about 20-30 euros per person?

We hadn't made it to L'epi Dupin although it had been on my list for several years. Each year I've read more and more negative reviews, so this year we crossed it off our list permanently -- considering the price there were so many other great places without so many negative comments.
A new favorite for me in the 6th is Aux Charpentiers on Rue Mabillon. We ate there twice for just under 80 euro for two including a nice bottle of wine and three courses each.
Another favorite on Rue de Seine right by Rue de Buci is Le Temps Perdu, which was even a little less.

We where there two years ago. We went for the special fixed price menu for lunch (17 euros). The food was fine, but the portions were a lot smaller then expected, and yes, the tables are jammed quite close together. The restaurant is near the Bon Marché and is always full of shoppers in the afternoon, bags and all, which adds to the atmosphere. I would have to say that the experience is a bit overrated, but then again that is my personal opinion. You should always check these places out yourself if the price is right and you don't mind the crowd when you're trying to enjoy your meal. It's obvious than enough people enjoy themselves because the restaurant is still around, even though there are far better restaurants in the same neighborhood.
