Paris Restaurants on Champs Elysees
I'm staying at the Marriott on the Champs Elysees for 1 week starting Oct 11. Any recommendations for nearby restaurants? I'd like to spend <$35 per person for dinner (wine not included).
Thanks!
Thanks!

There are a bunch of cafes on the Champs Elysees for casuale meals - omelets, sandwiches, salads etc - but mostly drinks and people watching. We had lunch in several on various trtips and the food was fine- not great - but OK. Not sure of any real restaurants in the area with that type of budget.

I think with the exchange rate right now, that is only about 28 euro. There might be some of the cheaper casual restaurants on the Champs-Elysees that have some prix fixe menu for that, but I don't know any by name. It probably won't be anything much for that price around there, but I'd just look around the hotel and check the menu boards out in front of various cafes to see what you can find. That isn't the best location for finding cheap good restaurants within a short distance of the hotel. YOu could do that by venturing a little farther, though.

Because the Champs Elysees attracts loads of tourists, you wont cheap food. I would suggest the "Eat Streets" of Paris, there are quite few in Paris, they mainly off the main roads, little roads with cheese shops, butchers, cafes, confectionary, etc, We found these little eat streets, to be more atmospheric & fun, rather than eating in a busy part of Paris.

Between the Four Seasons and the Plaza Athenee, just off the Champs Elysees, try either Relais Entrecote for steak and frite, or Chez Andre or Sebillion for neighborhood fare with mostly locals, we go every trip to Paris, great casual places with lot's of french vibe.

There are many restaurants in your price range in the 16th, up near the Arc de Triomphe. In the 8th, just CE, there's a Lo Sushi, probably the only "kaiten" sushi bar in Paris. Over on the Avenue Montaigne, we really enjoy Bar des Theatres, a friendly little bistro/cafe serving very good French staples. Popular with the staff at the designer shops in the neighborhood (Gucci, Prada, etc.). Bar des Theatres is easily within your budget. The customers and staff seem to know each other pretty well and there's lot of joking and chatter flying around.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Chez Clement. There is one with both indoor and outdoor seating on the Champs Elysees across the street from the Marriott (and I believe a little towards the Arch).
Although this is a chain, it is a very good one. They have wonderful roast chicken and grilled meats -- great deals on oysters, and super desserts. It is well within your price range. The interiors are very colorful and fun in Country French style, and they seem to have a very good training policy for servers who always seem so very friendly and helpful.

There are lots of places in Paris to eat for <$35 per person (not fancy restaurants, but still good tasting food).
Why increase your budget to be able to eat near the hotel? Won't you be out and about in various parts of the city seeing the sights and enjoying Paris anyway?
