Paris restaurants open Sunday
 

Any recommendations for restaurants that are open on Sunday in Paris? Not "splurges", just good French food. Thank you.

Don't worry about it. Hoof it and you'll find many places open for good old fashioned French food. Now, if you want something a bit better, make a reservation for a place like Bofinger.

I just did a search on the Zagat site for Restaurants open on Sunday, and it came back with a list of 375! Could have fooled me, we had a heck of a time last year finding something open in the rue Cler area.

There is a bistro across from Notre Dame that is not touristy and gets good writeups: Le Vieux Bistro. 14 rue du Clo&icirc;tre-Notre-Dame. Brasserie Balzar on rue des Ecoles is a bit pricier, I think.<BR><BR>There is a list of bistros and their hours and approx prices in francs (divide by 6.5 for $) at http://www.artrepublic.com/wow/travel/paris/bistros.asp<BR><BR>I notice La Fontaine de Mars,129 rue St-Dominique, in the 7th is open daily--very highly spoken on the forum. Thoumieux, 79 rue St-Dominique, 7th, also.<BR><BR>I agree with Open--you can usually find something, but it's a good idea to have a back-up place in mind.<BR><BR>Do you have any area in mind?

I made a reservation at Chez Maitre Paul (recommended in Fodors and Michelin for Sunday). Also Bistro D' Hubert is also open. I have reservations at both but cannot make either. Both restaurants are reachable by email. You can find email addresses to restaurants at www.michelin.com.

Jeff:<BR><BR>Are you sure Chez Maitre Paul is open on Sunday?? I think they are close. Could you double verify that. Thanks.

I am positve they are open since they sent me an email confirming a reservation there for Sunday Mai 26 at 8:00 pm. Unfortunately, I am touring the Seine that evening at 8:45. You can reach them at [email protected]. I received a response on April 15, 2002 to an email I sent so it is fairly recent.

What are the prices like at Chez Maitre Paul? Is it near Le Regent Hotel on Rue Dauphine? I need a reservation for Sunday May 26th.
