Travelnut - how strange! I went to PagesJaunes Photos de Ville and there on the corner, 1 Blvd.St-Germain & 2 Rue des Fosses St-Bernard is this red awning with not only small steer horns going along the fringe but one with a larger white skull inbetween!!
These must be old photos taken a year or three back?!

Avalon - thanks for the tip!

You might try walking along rue St ANdre des Arts. There are many creperies along the street, though I'm not terribly fond of crepes so didn't try any. Also several of the cafes and brasseries along there and on the side streets have prix fixe menus. We enjoyed our meal at Cafe Latin. St Andres des Arts runs right off Place St Michel. Aux Pre aux Clercs on rue Bonaparte and rue Jacob always has children inside and their food is good and varied.

If you want a good Chinese restaurant just a few steps from Rue des Ecoles, I recommend The Rose Of Summerard on Rue Summerard at Rue St. Jacques.

Thank you Thin! I will check it out while we are here. I am really enjoying being in one place for the 10 nights - It feels so less "rushed" then our last trip here with 3 to four nights in each city (Paris, Montruex, Florence, Rome)- the family is far more relaxed as well.

re: red awnings with horns

I think the Google Street View photos are possibly more recent than the Mappy photos posted to PagesJaunes. Even the listing name in PJ is "l'Institut". The Google photos depict awnings with that name on them, not the old 'horns'.

The old horns logo does belong to Buffalo Grill chain:

adding here that we did go to the Rose and it was WONDERFUL. Great prices and wonderful meal.

Unfortuantely the one that Sharon recommended was closed during our entire stay for the holiday.

Glad I happened upon this thread as I bring small groups of students/parents and I'm always looking for less expensive restaurants with good food for when their money is running low. I'll add some of these to my notes.

MomDD, thanks for reporting back on the Chinese recommendation. Maybe others will do the same.
