Restaurants for lunch - again!

[Innocents Abroad]

Our daughter's boyfriend is taking her to Paris (from the UK) for a few days for her birthday (what a lovely bloke he is and when are they going to get married and give me lots of grandchildren ..) .. oops, sorry, I get that way sometimes.  We're catching the TGV on Saturday and going up to meet them and take them for a lovely, long lunch - somewhere.  I've tried to do some research but there are just sooo many restuarants that I've got tired of looking.  I said to my husband that we'll just find somewhere that looks good and has a good menu but he's gone all paranoid and thinks that we need to at least identify somewhere and (probably) book.  Whaddya think?  Am I being too laid back? 

If anyone has any good suggestions (Missyesbut, I've seen your posting from last year and duly taken note) I'd love to hear from you - or if you think we'll be fine just 'winging it' then your encouragement - or otherwise - will also be welcome.

Thanks

Lynda

We can recommend L'Annexe restaurant, Rue des Trois Freres, 18ieme, small, busy, excellent food and friendly service.

In November we enjoyed an evening meal in this tiny restaurant, good food, good atmosphere and not far from Montmartre.

Sort of makes a joke of the OECD results doesn't it. I mean they (Indians) are supposed to do better than English and French kids but NOT obviously when it comes to geography unless France and the UK have suddenly become a part of the Indian subcontinent and nobody told us.

[/quote]Mind you many English people are seriously challenged on the geography front. Many seem to have a very vague idea of where towns less than 100 miles away are. They also seem to have problems distinguishing between Switzerland and Sweden.

I think you should decide, and mention, in what part of Paris you want to dine. It's a big place and you don't want to spend all day riding taxis and spending more on them than on the meal!

It's a zombie thread that has been resurrected by a more than usually stupid spammer. It's like many politicians: forgotten but not yet gone!

Could one of the mods please remove the spammers website name and login name if not the whole message?

[Chiefluvvie]

Yep - depends where abouts you're going to be in Paris!

One of my favourites is Sebillon (sebillon.com) near Porte Maillot - easy to get to. Always pop by when I'm in town....

Have often used it when at the Longchamp races - the lamb is a speciality and simply historic!

The spammer may have been pickled when he wrote it.

This resurrected thread from 6 years ago does raise the question of how long can recommendations for restaurants last. Around our local areas in both France and England after 6 years most have either changed hands or gone downhill whilst others have climbed.

Exactly!  Richard

Why is the Spam post still on here?

[/quote]I reported it as spam to the mods yesterday lunchtime so I am baffled that it is still there especially because Quillan (a mod) has cpmmented on it. Perhaps he didn't consider it Spam
