Why I came up with the list? I don't usually need a reason for coming up with one. I guess just being prepared, in case I do need to up and go on the fly. This list is not for everyone - lemme tell you, to eat well in Paris takes a decent budget (an average lower end budget per person for lunch 18e and dinner with wine 30+ - mind you it could be double that for some of the more popular restaurants for a 3 courses). So my list is for those who want a taste of Paris, on a budget. I would probably budget to eat 1 good meal a day, the other meals would be more cafe style, tasting some nice pastries, a good deli, picnic with a bottle of wine and some cheese and bread (cheap and awesome idea, if i do say so myself. Grab some supplies from the grocery store and head on to one of the many gardens or by the Seine), creperies or falafel stops. For that one special meal a day - it is also a good idea to have it 'lunch' instead of dinner - as most places have different menus for lunch. Also look out of set menus. Buy water from the grocery store, because you could easily spend a decent amount by stopping along the way for sodas and such throughout the day. 5e a pop adds up for 2 people. Also, in Paris you can ask for tap water instead of bottled water to save $ ( une carafe de l'eau du robinet, s'il vous plait). Another good outing would be to visit one of the many morning markets, Ok so here is my list in no particular order. Reservations needed at the more proper places.
