In Paris
| If you want to taste real excelent french food in a lovely environment,
then try "Le 14 Juillet". But you need to book in advance because
they are full every day of the week. Just give a phone call before noon
for the evening and you'll make it! The restaurant is small, the ambiance
is traditional french and young. You'll get a 3 courses menu for 200F
with the wine of the house (excellent). Le 14 Juillet 99 rue Didot 75014 Paris 01 40 44 91 19 |

Crêperie de Josselin The Best "Crêpes" of Paris. This is the typical french restaurant from Britany. the menu is simple, the price is pretty small and the food is just awesome. This is a "must do". (For info they don't take credit cards, so use french personal checks or cash). Don't be affraid, there is nearly all the time a line to get in, expect a 20 min wait. But its worth waiting :-) |

Le Pétel This restaurant is in the same idea as "le 14 juillet" (see above). This is typical french food in a quiet and nice environment. The price is moderate. This is a really enjoyable experience. |

After 2 years in the States, and especially in Texas, it's great to
find some good Mexican food. Ok, it's a little expensive compared to Mexican
cantinas in Houston, but when you are in lack of mexican food it's good,
good, good. You'll also listen to some great mariacci! 59 rue de Mouzaia 75019 Paris 01 42 41 76 30 01 42 41 28 80 |
| Le Bistrot de Breteuil. It's a really good restaurant, expect to spend 200F per person with wine. The menu is typical French food. In summer, you can enjoy your meal on a nice terrace, and then walk to see Les Invalides or la Tour Eiffel which are not very far from the restaurant. |

Some great indian food. I love the spinash with cheese and the nam with
cheese with a spicy mouton with spinash, Huuuuuuum. It isn't too expensive, and you get a free drink to start with. 179 rue de vaugirard 75015 Paris 01 47 34 09 62 |
