NormanH Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Brings back memories of wealthier days...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?

Suze01 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keepworking at it - in the meantime, just click on the month and that will save you time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Vigerie01 45 84 13 22Two 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.

Suze01 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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.

Suze01 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lively place, according to the description, but I thinkit'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 heardanything 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 neighborhoodwhere virtually every place is empty except for the one restaurant that is packed. Chances are, that's the good one.
