Hello
I am going to Paris with my boyfriend for Valentines weekend and I just wondered if anyone had any tips on a lovely, romantic, French restaurant we could go to for dinner? Somewhere a bit special...
Are classic places like Bofinger or La Coupole our best bet or would you suggest Man Ray (I hear the food isnt that great there though)
Cost is not an issue, but somewhere really romantic and not too snotty or posh would be great.
THANKS!

Le Coupe Chou, http://www.lecoupechou.com/ I can really recommend it to you , it is nice and good food. Have a look at the webiste, you can discover the decoration. Food is really good and prices are reasonables.
I hope you will enjoy Paris

Le Voltaire

Friends had their Valentine/Birthday celebration there and went back the next year. %26quot;The epitome of a French restaurant%26quot;

Forget Bofinger or Man Ray for a romantic dinner. I haven%26#39;t been to La Coupole. If money really is not an issue, Ledoyen over the Champs Elysees gardens is lovely. It%26#39;s hard to go wrong at Taillevent or Tour d%26#39;Argent.
For a little scaled down, try Relais Louis XIII in the 6th or Jacques Cagna. For a true bistro experience, my favorite is Chez Georges in the 2nd.
And, of course, there%26#39;s always Jules Verne in the Tour Eiffel, but make sure to book early.

man ray isn%26#39;t romantic, it%26#39;s fashion. i would not suggest you this restaurant, it%26#39;s too big. i suggest you the 1728, a really romantic and intimate restaurant, with a great decoration (i always feel i have dinner in a castle), very %26#39;secret%26#39; (the first time you%26#39;ll go there you will not speak too loud i am sure, it%26#39;s like everybody must whisper, but after a while you wont whisper anymore but it%26#39;s the feeling). it is also a galerie with huge paintings, asian people are serving french-asian food, great food at a correct budget (something like 50 euros/person more or less). great desserts from pierre herme, cheese, and thousands of tea (white, green, red, black etc) with a woman twho is just about the tea.

We enjoyed La Fermette Marbeuf: www.fermettemarbeuf.com. Very good food and nice atmosphere. Check the website which gives pictures, menu, prices etc. Here%26#39;s another website of restaurants with pictures etc: http://www.blanc.net/blanc_/en/index.html

Lucky Girl! Our favorite restaurant in the world (literally!) is the %26#39;Taverne du Sargent Recruiteur%26#39; on the isle St. Louis. It%26#39;s very easy to get to. It%26#39;s 400 years old (that%26#39;s old for us Americans!) and it%26#39;s about 35 Euro per person and includes everything. When you%26#39;re seated, they bring a large basket of fresh whole vegetables and brown boiled eggs, another basket of various sausages and salamis, a plate of country pate, lentils, baby gherkins and a basket of bread. All you want...and this is just the appetizer. You will then order your entree, after which you%26#39;ll have a dessert (the chocolate mousse is wonderful) and then a great cheese platter. Also included is all of the red or white wine you would like...their own label. We are making a trip to Paris from Venice in May JUST to go to this place! Have fun!

Vikisfloyd, do you know the address of that 400 year old restaurant, it sounds wonderful!!!!!!! My husband and I are going to Paris the end of May.
|||
I%26#39;ll try to find the address of the restaurant. You will be thrilled that you visited this place. We%26#39;ll be in Paris May 25 - 28 and will eat there at least 2 of our 3 nights! If you will email me your email address - I%26#39;ll try to send you the restaurant address - my email is vickisfloyd@hotmail.com
I%26#39;ll also try to post the address here in the next day or so.

We ate at La Coupole our last nite in Paris this past Sunday. I would not recommend it. It was beautiful, but the food was ordinary to fair.
I will second the recommendation of Le Coupe Chou - the staff was wonderful - the food amazing - the restaurant was romantic - historical and cozy.

That%26#39;s funny Vickisfloyd my husband and I will be there the same time. Probably will see you at the restaurant.
IT sounds sooooo good.
