migrainer in Paris
I am in the unfortunate minority who can neither drink alcohol nor coffee because of headaches. This puts a damper on dinner and tends to rattle waiters when you ask for a decaffeinated morning drink. Anyone with experiences to share?

Well, the good news is that they don't use MSG or a lot of preservatives in their food that also cause migraines.
I doubt a waiter in Paris will be rattled by a request for decaf...
Skip chocolate too..but if you suffer from migraines, you already know what you can and cannot have.
You will still have a wonderful time and can eat to your hearts content..Bon voyage~

Stay clear of cheap Chinese restaurants. My wife always thought that my mother and I were exaggerating the MSG issue because she never had an MSG headache until she got one while eating in a Chinese restaurant in Paris. From then on she was as sensitive as the rest of us.
