Hope this is a bit of a help!

Images: Thanks for all the restaurants. I am trying to narrow my choices down to 5 by Sunday. This is actually a fun job, better than working.

ivee: I've heard of "tearoom La Duréé" but I have never tried it.

Glad to hear you're having fun with it! Sorry I didn't tell you anything about the places we've chosen.

Les Papilles is a wine bar with good food, L'Ami Jean is very popular, so if you want dinner here, you MUST reserve ahead several days at least.

Les Fables de la Fontaine is reportedly about to get a * and deserve it in our opinion. The food here is outstanding. They serve fish.

One we aren't eating at on this trip but have a couple of times in the past is Les Magnolias. It's in the suburbs so getting back to Paris before the last train back is pretty tight, but the food is outstanding. They also have 1 * and are very resonably priced.

Le Pre Verre is also great, and priced around 26 Euros, they have lunch at 12.50.

You might have already tried these before, but my favorite three restaurants from our Christmas trip were:

Chez Fernand 9 rue Christine
(also one at 13 rue Guisarde)

Le Florimand 19 av La Motte Piquet (7th)

A La Petite Chaise 36, rue de Grenelle
(ask for table downstairs)

All these places with wine, three courses and espresso ran about 100 - 115 euros

I meant, of course, Le Florimond.

Thanks to everyone that took the time to help. I am off to Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

By La Duree, I think the poster means Laduree. They have several locations in Paris including one on Rue Bonaparte and the original on Rue Royale.

There is also another Laduree on the Champs Elysees, but the Rue Royale original is my favorite.
I'd go for lunch when it can be very crowded, or afternoon tea, but
not dinner.

Hello eric502! just curious how where your culinary experiences in Paris??!!

Just got back a few days ago and have been suffering from the flu. I got sick in Paris but did make three of the restaurants and will post in a few days.

God!!!!! have you ever been sick on a plane for 10 hours???

I will say that the best place we went to for the price was the "Le Florimand 19 av La Motte Piquet".
