re: Recent Paris Travelers: your favorite restaurants

I wish I had a fancy one to share but I don’t. My friend from France (who is a great cook) gave me a list of restaurants to try that are all part of a fresh ingredient co op. All were very high end and my kids were fairly young so those were not good options. My friend’s other recommendation was to never eat at a place with a large menu outside. After a few greatly disappointing tourist traps with large menus outside, we stumbled upon this place behind the McDonalds by our place in the Latin Quarters, Le Chalet Saint-Michel. We ended up eating there two nights in a row. Unbelievable food, great service and we were the only people who only spoke English. For a family to eat and drink for less than 100€ in Paris is tough let alone for a phenomenal meal.
