My wife and I will be in Paris from August 7th thru August 13th. Recommendations about memorable and interesting bistro restaurants and cafes with very good food and atmosphere that serve lunch and/ or dinner would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

What price range are you looking at?

Just recommendable local bistros? Or places for special meals and wines/

Our three favorite meals in Paris last month were Cafe Des Musees on 49 Rue de Turenne in the 3rd, Les Papilles on 30 Rue Gay-Lussac in the 5th (memorable meal) and Breizh Cafe on 109 Rue Vieille du Temple in the Marais. We will go back to all 3 restaurants on our next trip to Paris. We also had a fun casual dinner at Les Philosphes, also on Rue Vieille du Temple in the Marais. Go to chowhound.com for lots of info on Paris restaurants.

Google for Bistro et Cie.

Le Vaudeville in the 2nd, Le Suffren in the 7th, both open on Sundays.

A few favorites from my recent trip:

Le Pre Verre in the 5th http://www.lepreverre.com/en/

Bistro Au Vieux Chene in the 11th http://www.vieuxchene.fr/EN/index.htm

Le Buisson Ardent in the 5th http://www.lebuissonardent.fr/
