We also eat at Chez Clement when we go to the ballet. It isn't the fanciest restaurant in Paris, but the meals we have had there have been very good and the service on the ball. If you do go there, note that all decor, sconses, fixtures etc, are made of knives forks and spoons. Very clever!

Janine, Chez Catherine is supposed to be good. Have not been there yet, sorry.<BR><BR>Another possibility, Le Grand Cafe, 4, Blvd. des Capucines. Very busy brasserie, great for people watching. Food is ok, not outstanding though. But fine for something light after the ballet.<BR>Stays open 24/24h. So, one of the numerous places for "noctambules".

We will be going to two restaurants int eh area there, in a few weeks...<BR>one is Androuet, specializing in cheese (all courses prepared to include differents cheeses, from light to heavy) and then secondly, the baby bistro, Le Dauphin. I ate at Le Dauphin in December, and went becasue Zagat's wrote that it is 'excellent and original' as well as 'a good value'... but when I was there, I spotted Michelin star chef Jaques Chibois and Guy Savoy in the corner taking tasting notes of the menu... it was absolutely delicious!! I can forward the menu we had, prices, and addresse(s) if you'd like.<BR><BR>Bon Appetit!<BR>~Wendy~

Janine: A couple of years ago we ate at a restaurant directly to the left (if you are facing the building) of the L'Opera Garnier. The name of the restaurant was something very basic like "Opera Restaurant". The food was incredible and the service was the best I had seen in lots of travel. We made reservations just the day before and when we walked in the door the night of our reservation, the maitre d' (sp??) met us at the door and greeted us by name. Every course was served with impeccable genteelness and we felt like royalty. And, as I mentioned, the food (we had duck and rabbit) was very, very good. I don't know what your budget it ... this place was a little expensive. We didn't mind because it was our one splurge. It was nice to get out of the ballet and just walk across the street to dinner, too.<BR><BR>Good luck!<BR><BR>Laura

Just an FYI for those who know the Cafe de la Paix on the corner in front of the opera... it has closed and is no longer going to exist... it will though, in a new form part of a multi-million Eruo deal high end hotel... not sure if the beautiful 'Belle Epoque" architecture will resurface....<BR><BR>~Wendy~

I am planning to take my 13-year-old daughter to the ballet at the Opera Garnier. We will not be dining after the performance, as most Parisians would, but rather before. Two questions: Will the restaurants be totally dead if we go out early, say six-ish before the ballet? Second question: I was thinking of Androuet for that night (sounds fabulous) but wanted to know how long a trip by Metro to the opera house - it doesn't look that close, or if by cab, how long and how much would it cost? Thanks.
