euroenvy: a recent thread titled Sunday Lunch in the Marais might be helpful. Plugging that title into the search box at the left top of the screen should find it easily. Guides such as Patricia Wells' "Food Lover's Guide to Paris" or Sandra Gustafson's "Great Eats in Paris" list those open on Sunday in the index. It's often a good idea to reserve in advance.
Huitres: while places catering specifically to tourists may be open, a great number of Paris restaurants are closed on Sunday.

Funny we ate there ( La REine Blanche) too a few months ago. It was our first time there so I don't know. It has been posted that t did change ownership, but we were very pleased with the service and food, but can't compare it to what it was before.

Hi ee,
May I suggest Sunday Brunch at the Jacquemart-Andre? You can follow this with a visit to the Museum, a stroll through the ParcMoncea, a short walk to the Arc de Triomphe and a saunter down the Champs Elysee.
See http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com/jandre/
If you think you need dinner, try the Fontaine de Mars.

Another vote for the Fontaine de Mars and also in same general vicinity,the 7th, Bistro de Breteuil, both open on Sun. I'd reserve day or so ahead for Fontaine b/c it is small and was filled the Sun. I was there a few weeks ago.

Ira,
Are reservations necessary at the Musee-Jacquemart-Andre? We'd be having afternoon tea there, not brunch. Glad to see your recommendation of Fontaine de Mars, as we have reservations for dinner there.
Best,
Sandy

Euroenvy, the red Michelin guide also has a list of restaurants that are open on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, it's been our experience that the majority of brasseries are open on Sundays. As shellio indicated, reservations on Sundays are always a good idea.

Ooops euroenvy, didn't know that was the name! If you want to go to a fabulous little Italian restaurant that is open on Sunday, try Pizza Sicilia, in the 1st Arr, north of Rue Rivoli and the Palais de Justice, at 26 Rue de Beaujolais (in quiet street corner nook on Montpensier & Beaujolais). Metro: Palais-Royal. Unbelievable prices for superb Italian food (tortellini with champignons in a cream sauce=6,70 euros). We ate very hearty for under 20 euros. It was referred to me by my French friend who lives in the area and sure enough, I never spotted one American in there, just locals. It was great! Likewise, to second the opinions of others here re: La Fontaine de Mars in the 7th. It is one of my most favorite restaurants, I have been frequenting it since 1999. I would definitely recommend a reservation any day of the week - they are jammed full. I would suggest a 8:30 pm reservation so you can sit among the French locals. Bon appetit!

Ira, was the "no reservations" for tea or for the Sunday brunch? I had emailed for brunch and never got a response (other than an auto response showing it had been read). Has anyone else done the brunch? And if so, how long was the wait time? Sandy, if you do the tea before I see you on Thursday, could you ask about the brunch for me? Beth
