Platinum Dining Paris

[tjob81]

Ahoy! I’m off to Paris on Saturday and wondered if anyone had any good value recommendations for restaurants part of the Platinum Dining benefit?

We did Aux Pres (27 rue du Dragon, Paris, 75006) last year in between the olympics/paralympics and it was a nice little place. Bistro style food with lots of options for meat/fish/veggie. For 2 of us including a bottle of wine, I think it came out to just over £100.

I went to Les Jardins du Presbourg (Arc du triomphe), mainly as it was near to were I was staying. Bizarrely the wait stuff were lovely!
I was dining alone I think I just had a main, side, glass of wine ~€65.
I’d describe it as a “solid option”

We did breakfast in Le Train Bleu in Gare de Lyon, because we had a morning train and I was fascinated to see inside the place. Breakfast for 4 was well under £100, but it did get busy later on so go early or expect to queue.

We did Mun (Asian, heavily sushi).

Upsides: open 7 days for lunch and dinner (shockingly rare in Paris), easy to reach on Champs Elsyses, top floor so a bit of a view, menu in English

Downsides: none, to be fair!

Been to Paris many, many times. Going in a few weeks, just for a day trip with my sister (only £70 return). Still have my £100 of overseas Amex dining credit to use before 30th June.

Any sensibly priced “normal” cafes, bistros, restaurants to recommend please? I usually use my credits at The Ivy in the UK and at Block Steak House and Alex coffee shops in Germany – just normal eateries.

Any suggestions in central Paris greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Grand Brasserie?
My son and I ate well (and it was filling!) off the main menu in December, but the prix-fixe at lunchtime was incredible value. I think €30 for 2 dishes?
