Paris restaurant slates : today's special!
Today I walked from the center of Paris towards the north and took a certain number of photos of restaurant slates. These restaurant slates scare a lot of people, intrigue others, often have strange handwriting... but they are one of the most important things to look at when you are walking around town. At least that's how Parisians feel about them, when they are unsure of what they might want to eat and are looking for a delicious bargain. Anyway, this should help to inform people who are always asking themselves that important question: "How much does it cost to eat in Paris?"
So, here is the photo gallery: http://tinyurl.com/d9jq3d
I took quite a few photos of normal menus as well, and also snack shop price lists and will be starting a thread on both of those things soon, if anybody is interested.

kerouac, I think you will find that just like your montage of neighborhood fashion, the menus from around Paris will be of great interest. Paris fashion and food, what's not to love
thanks, I'm looking forward to your upcoming menu threads, Deborah

I don't think that unforettable dinners have much to do with a specific restaurant. I would even say that planning too carefully is the best way to set yourself up for a possible disappointment. If you improvise, and it goes wrong, you just laugh about it. If you have planned ahead and it is not perfect, you can be very annoyed and/or disappointed.

Wonderful!
When people ask "what are the must do's in Paris" my first thought is usually "go walk around a big Monoprix" and my second is "walk around looking at menu boards and relating them to the kind of people eating in the resto".
