Hi,
Off to Paris tomorrow(very last minute) and would like a couple of suggestions for reasonable priced restaurants for dinner. We are staying at Marriott Rive Gauche (ebay deal!) and would like to have somewhere to eat that is easy to get back to the hotel afterwards.
Thanks
Emma

emmap - I think anywhere in Paris is easy to get back to. I wish we had the fantastic metro & bus system they have!! There is always a taxi around if things go beyond public transport hours.

My choice for a very nice meal:
Bistro Vin Sobre,
35 Avenue Duquesne,
75007.
Tel:01 47 05 67 10

OR;

Le Vin Sobre,
25 Rue Feuillantines,
75005.
Ph: 01 43 29 00 23.
(This is the branch we ate at)

You won't be disappointed.
They also have a website!

Hi E,

What's your budget?

The Marriott is in the 14th. I have stayed there several times on points (what's an EBAY deal?) Anyway, just to let you know there is a Metro line half a block away and it's very easy to get anywhere in Paris from there.

There aren't a lot of "great" resturants right near the hotel, but as a solo traveler I have never had any trouble just jumping on the Metro and heading back to the hotel.

Its a quite area that seems fairly safe to me.

I am not a foodie so I will leave that part to others.

Au Petit Marguery, at 9, boulevard de Port Royal. http://petitmarguery.com/en/index.html

One of my constant recommendations is Le Cosi, 9 rue Cujas in the 5th. Great Corsican menu, welcoming ambiance, moderate prices.

There are quite a few good restaurants around Montparnasse / Vavin area.

La Cerisaie - 70, bd Edgar Quinet
Sensing - 19, Rue Bréa
Le Parc aux Cerfs - 50 rue Vavin
Aux Saveurs de Claude - 12, Rue Stanislas

The 'classics':
La Coupole - 102, blvd du Montparnasse
Le Dome - 108, blvd du Montparnasse

More casual:
Chez Clement - 106, blvd Montparnasse
Leon de Bruxelles - 82bis, blvd Montparnasse

Others nearby:
L’Ourcine - 92 rue Broca
L’Avant Goût - 26, rue Bobillot
Les Fils de la Ferme - 5 rue Mouton-Duvernet
La Girondine - 48, blvd Arago
