Paris eats

Bistro - the 11e has a great little gastronomic street: rue Paul Bert and the Bistrot Paul Bert was cheerful and tasty. I think it was about 30 Euros prix fixe.

Cafe - we had an excellent traditional meal at Cafe Constant (Christian Constant now has 4 restaurants on a street in the 7e). I think this one was about 35 Euros.

Small cafe - over on the rue Oberkampf, we sat down at a little place called L'Estaminet for a tasty lunch very reasonably priced (2 of us paid less than 20 Euros, including some wine)

There's a great underground restaurant called hidden kitchen, but I believe they are booked solid through September - http://www.hkmenus.com/ - 80 Euros prix fixe (all included)

Haut Cuisine - a 3-star Michelin restaurant! Guy Savoy (we did a lunch menu - the food kept on coming!). Over in the 17e. Sublime, and bread pairings with our food. http://www.guysavoy.com/en/intro.htm - 100 Euros prix fixe for lunch

Falafel - L'As du Falafel or Chez Marianne both are excellent on the rue des Rosiers in the Marais. These run about 5 euros each.

Macarons - we tried 4 or 5 different ones. Hands down the best are Pierre Herme (esp salted caramel). On rue Bonaparte in the 6e.

Crepe - we had a salted caramel with chantilly cream crepe done up traditional Bretagne style at Breizh Cafe on rue V-d-Temple in the Marais.

Cheese. The ladies at Barthelemy in the 6e/7e border will look after you.

Cooking School. Marguerite's Elegant Home Cooking (but act quick, as she's moving to Seattle next month!) - http://www.elegantcooking.com/ - we went to a market where we purchased what we needed (and later to some of her favorite shops to purchase the rest). We learned how to interpret the various signs. We made guinea hen with peaches and onions stuffed with risotto. Delicious: we ate outside with fresh baguette, a bottle of wine, and fresh cherries for dessert.
