A useful book for restaurants was written by an American student - Miles Turner, whose parents lived in Paris. This gives the restaurants off the tourist trail and therefore less expensive. It was a few years ago when we used this and I don't know if it is still available. Book title Pauper's Paris. We spent a very entertaining lunch in the Rue St Denis " the red light district" and the Rue Madeleine where the bored housewives go!
