Restaurants in Bastille Area

Came to Paris for 1st time last year and loved it so much we are coming back again.

We love food, and the restaurants were very good but we would like some advice on the best ones in the Bastille area at a price of about 100 Euros for 2 people.

Thanks You/Merci

You can go to Bofinger or le Train Bleu at the gare de Lyon for a start. Both have fixed price menus, good food and great decor.

%26quot;Square Trousseau%26quot; is a good one.

Another one I like very much (i%26#39;ve been there only for lunch so I don%26#39;t know how it is like for dinner) is %26quot;Pause Café%26quot; (metro Ledru Rollin for both of them). It is a café, with a very simple decoration, full of locals but everytime I go there I am very pleased with the food. Last time, I had brochettes with herbs and sweet potato purée and the brochettes (skewers) were so tasty and the sauce so %26quot;to die for%26quot; that I went in the kitchen and asked the Chef for his recipe !

A small brasserie (cuisine d%26#39;auvergne) is Le Rey, at 130 rue de la Roquette, métro Voltaire. Always full with locals which is a very good sign. You will find great meats at reasonable prices.

Les Grandes Marches, 6 Place de la Bastille, modern decor brasserie with a modern twist in the menu.

Best thai cuisine in Paris (IMHO) is Blue Elephant, 43 rue de la Roquette. Don%26#39;t get turn off by the small entrance, the dining room is large and nicely decorated, the food is splendid.

Bon appétit.

I second Bofingers. But, be aware that there is a restaurant directly across from the original Bofingers called Petit Bofingers and it is hard to see the Petit when it is dark and you are not expecting a decoy! We had reservations at Bofingers and went and ate at Petit Bofingers by mistake. Well, I am going to give it another try in March when I return. I have heard good things about it!
