Paris Restaurant Choices?
I think I have whittled it down for an 8 day trip to Paris in May. Tried unsuccessfully for a reservation to Le Comptoir (booked all of May) and believe I have settled on the following:
Le Pamphlet
Christophe
L'Ami Jean
La Gaigne
Chez Maitre Paul (former posts suggested the chicken/morels dish and I love morels!)
Ze Kitchen Galerie (for lunch)
Does this seem like a pretty reasonable selection? Will be staying in an apartment in the Marais. Considered Chez Denise and Itineraries but thought I had too many others already.
Thanks, Kathy

Kathryn, your list looks a lot like how mine is shaping up--and therefore seems very reasonable to me--so I'll be interested to read others' comments. I have a few wild cards that I'm thinking of as well: Café des Musées (near my apartment and apparently also yours), MBC and Afaria. And I have enjoyed Repaire de Cartouche in winter, but I'm wondering if they shine in warm weather.

I arrive after you leave. If you have time or energy while you're there to post, great. But just enjoy!
I had been thinking about doing the prix fixe lunch at La Table du Joel Robuchon but as I watch the exchange rate that's becoming a more remote possibility.

I know---I had thought about one of the Robuchon places too....there are a lot of choices. I haven't been in Paris for 5 years and although i loved where I ate last time, I want to do different places.

"Chez Maitre Paul (former posts suggested the chicken/morels dish and I love morels!)"
Every few years this restaurant comes up in conversation and we harken back to HowardR's infamous "Free range children" post. Luckily, there was no morels charge.

It goes back to 2003, when Howard mistakenly substituted the word "children" for "chicken" in talking about the restaurant. Many of us (well, Ira and me) have not let him forget about it, since it gave everyone a good laugh. I don't think you have to worry.

Unless you are a dedicated "foodie" you can dine exceptionally well while skipping the famous and expensive places. In five trips to Paris, amounting to about 85 days of dining, we have been to only one of the high-reputation establishments. Get a Paris Zagat's (in English!) and feast to your delight on cuisines and in locations you desire!
