The Perfect Paris Bistro - who wants to try it?

Bonjour tout le monde,
Paris has many places to eat, You can find almost anything you want in the City of Lights. Many famous chefs have places in Paris; depending on your budget, the world is your oyster (so to speak). One of my favorite "traditional" French restaurants is the Bouillon-Chartier, located in the 9th arrondissement, there are no reservations at this place. Patrons stand in line, give the number in their parties to the host, who walks the line just for that purpose.  Tables are filled, there are no empty spots; you might find yourself sharing!  The food is ordered 'a la carte' - no prix fixe menu here.  However, you don't need one, because the prices are very reasonable.  Michael and I try to make it to this place every time we are in Paris, because it is such fun.  The locals love it - in fact, our local guide recommended it to us when we asked him about his favorite place to eat.
le Bouillon Chartier 7 Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 75009 Paris, France

Waiting in line to be seated.  

Interior - notice the overhead structure that hold your bags.

Dinner - yum!




If you want something else, you can try one of the newest French Bistros.  Benoit, located in the Marais, has gotten rave reviews.  Here is the link to the review that makes me want to book a trip to Paris tomorrow.

The cool thing?  We can try these restaurants and others while we are in Paris in June, 2016.  Remember, there are only a few spots left, and you don't want to be left out of a very fun voyage.  A $300 deposit is all you need to hold your spot; payments can be made over time.
