Paris Restaurants in the 6th?
Only a few more days to go! We've got our choices for better restaurants pretty well selected. Please let me know your favorite moderately priced restaurants in the 6th or close by. Entree price, $25 or less? And, cafes for even less, like just a place to grab a simple meal, sandwich, crepe, whatever?

One of my favorites from this last trip where we broke our rule and ate at TWICE:
Aux Charpentiers on Rue Mabillon.
Another favorite is Le Temps Perdu on Rue de Seine, right by the corner of Rue de Buci. About the same price as Aux Charpentiers, nice stone-like interior, and again very pleasant servers (but very busy as only two men seem to do it all). I especially like their copper pot main courses -- I had a lamb shank cooked with vegetables and tagliatelle, coq au vin is wonderful here.
Three courses each plus a very good Cote du Rhone both times. One time was about 72 euro total. The other time was 80 euro total. Excellent food and very friendly and nice servers.
Note: Not to correct you, but remember that in France an entree is a starter, not a main course. I've never understood how we as Americans have managed to twist the obvious into the incorrectly named.

Ooops. How did I do that? I inserted the paragraph about Le Temps Perdu between the two parts about Aux Charpentiers. The third paragraph should be the second paragraph -- prices refer to Aux Charpentiers.

Don't get me wrong, but if I had a choice of one last meal, it would be at Taillevent. But...., if I'm looking for Steak Frites, Relais L'Entrecote is pretty good for the price. Reasonably priced and a with a pepper sauce that is one of the best I've had.
We saw it listed in the Paris Zagats with a fairly high rating. We didn't realize until after a really good meal it was a mini-chain.
There is a location just down the street from Cafe Le Flore, in the 6th, off Blvd. St. Germain.

Le Pre Verre is trendy and relatively good. Boullion Racine is beautiful and serves waterzooi. Try La Lozere on a Thursday evening (get a reservation) and have aligote (potato, cantal cheese and garlic concoction that is heavenly)with auvergne sausages.

Last trip in March, I "discovered" Allard, rue St. Andre des Arts in 6th, and loved it. It has a longstanding reputation as a quintessential Paris bistro. Reserved a few hours ahead and saw folks being turned away w/o reser.

Hi
sounds like you've planned well for your trip
this is a general restaurant tip, rather than a tip on a restaurant:
Just in case you are not aware, 'entree'
in Paris is the appetizer or first course (which makes sense, since it is the 'first entry' of the meal)
It is only in English (only in the US?) that 'entree' refers to a main course, for some reason

I will second Ryan's recommendation of Relais L'Entrecote for Steak Frites. The restaurant is at 20 Rue Benoit behind Cafe Flor. They have just a fixed price menu with the salad, steak and frites. I think we paid around 20 euros for the dinner. Excellent sauce. They are usually pretty busy and not just from tourists.
