Restaurant Recommendations for London/Paris/Rome

We are okay spending a lot for a good meal, but are also interested in cheaper "street food" type options while on the run. For our nicer meals, we'd like to keep it French, but are fine with either traditional or modern.

Thanks for the recommendations! These restaurants look amazing. I'm adding them to my TripAdvisor account as we speak. Thanks again!

I just got back from Paris last week and have been to all three a number of times. What part of town are you staying in. My favorite restaurant in London is Rules. It is an old historic place with a great bar, and delicious food. In Rome, Hosteria Costanza is a very good restaurant built among the ruins of the old Theatre of Pompey which is where the Roman Senate was meeting when Brutus stabbed Julius Caesar there. Very good food in historic surroundings. It is right off Campo de Fiore. We also like Enoteca Cul du Sac just off Piazza Navona. It is a casual wine bar that serves very good food. For street food in Paris get a falafel at L'as du Falafel in the Marais' Jewish Quarter and eat it on the nearby Place du Vosges, the oldest square in Paris. Or get a crepe from L'Avant Comptoir and eat it in the nearby Luxemburg Gardens. We ate at many great restaurants in Paris. What part of town do you want to be in?

Place du Vosges is awesome. Stayed in an apartment there last time, loads of little bars, restaurant all over the Marais.

Yes, we plan to spend more time in the Marais this go 'round as well. We have actually seen Place des Vosges previously, but before realizing it was Baroness de Pontalba's inspiration for the Pontalba sections of Jackson Square. Viewing it from that perspective will add an additional layer of curiosity this time.

In the Marais, I like Breihz, a Breton creperie near the Picasso museum. LINK

Two of my favorite places in Paris are in the "north" Marais: Jacques Genin's patisserie/confiserie LINK. Genin makes incredible caramels, chocolates, and pates du fruit.
And the bakery Du Pain et des Idees: https://dupainetdesidees.com/en/

Thanks again. Found this nice little "cheat sheet" of sorts broken down by both food type and arr.

This will come in handy.

I've been wanting to hit the single-item specialty shops in the 9th for a while.

Great. We just stayed a week at the Westin Hotel in the 1st overlooking the Tuilleries Gardens. We ate at a number of restaurants in or near the Palais Royale which is a short walk away just on the other side of Ave. L'Opera. We had an incredible lunch at Le Grand Vefour which has been around since the 1700's. They sat us at Napoleon and Josephine's favorite table. 3 1/2 hour lunch. 115 euros per person but worth every penny. It is much more expensive at night. Also in the Palais Royale is Verjus. They have a set tasting menu that was excellent. Across the street is Juvenile's which was very good. Chez George on rue du Mail is a few blocks away. This is one of our favorite upscale bistros. Closer to the hotel is Chez Monsieur near La Madeline church. Very good bistro food. Onion soup and veal stew. On the other side of the river is Au Bon Accueil which was also very good. Near there is rue St. Dominique, one of our favorite restaurant rows in Paris. There you will find Café Constant, Le Fontaine du Mars, Chez L'Ami Jean, Le Violon de Ingres, and many others.
