Just a suggestion.

Any chance of linking the list of reviews to the reviews themselves to avoid having to scroll down through the whole log?

Funny you should ask - I've wanted to do that, but don't know how.  I'll keep

working at it - in the meantime, just click on the month and that will save you time.

[quote user="Lisleoise"]Can you recommend a good (inexpensive) vegetarian resto around the 5° please that's open on a sunday evening? I'm going in a fortnight with my veggie son.

There used to be one on rue St. Maur, just up from ave de la Republique.  Let me get back to you on this.

If your son likes crepes, one possibility is the Breizh Cafe:

109 rue Vielle du Temple, Métro Filles-du-Calvaire, 75003 Paris

+33 1 42 72 13 77

It's open on Sundays, but it's not in the 5th - it's in the 3rd.

Otherwise, your best bet will probably be an Asian restaurant - many are open on Sundays, are inexpensive,

and with tons of vegetarian plates.   Restaurant Sala Thai in the 13th is a good bet for Laotian and Thai food -

a long menu with all sorts of offerings:

13 rue des Freres d'Astier de la Vigerie

01 45 84 13 22

Two restaurants I recently reviewed are very non-meat friendly - Urbane and Ze Kitchen Galerie - although

neither is very inexpensive, open on Sunday, or in the 5th.

If your son eats shellfish, there's always Leon's for mussels.

[quote user="Lisleoise"]Thank you very much Morstiff! We're staying in a friend's appartement on the eastern edge of the 5° and going to a concert in the 11° on the monday so the 3° works well for us for either the sunday or the monday.

[quote user="Lisleoise"]Thanks again. We're staying in rue Gay Lussac and I've just googled and there is this restaurant  a few doors away - do you know it?  There is also a Japanese right next door but I'm not sure if my 15 year old would go for that!

Don't know Les Papilles, but it's described favorably in the Zagat guide.  Lively place, according to the description, but I think

it's one of those spots with a one-choice menu. Could be a perfect place for lunch.

I'd be wary of taking a chance on a Japanese restaurant that you haven't heard

anything about.  Could be good, likely to be expensive - like most Japanese restaurants in Paris - and I always warn against

dining anywhere in Paris on the basis of location and 'it looks interesting.'  The only way I'd do that is if I were in a neighborhood

where virtually every place is empty except for the one restaurant that is packed.  Chances are, that's the good one.
