If you only had 4 dinners in Paris where would they be?
Keeping in mind as fabulous as Le Cinq might be I would rather not have dinner in a Ritz....if you have four dinners to spend about 50 Euros per person Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues nights.....which 4 restaurants would you choose?
I dont get to travel much so I want to make the most of my trip. I would love great food, wine, and atmosphere to really experience Paris.
What would your 4 places be???

What about L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon or La Table. I looked up some previous posts but couldnt find a definitive on prices or likes for dinner

I understand your plight! So much food, so little time....
I would highly recommend either Chez L'Ami Jean and/or La Regalade. Both are excellent value, excellent food. During our trip last September, we loved Le Troquet (on Rue Francois). I think it was 36E for a six course tasting menu and it was superb. The atmosphere was lively, service lovely.
La Table de Joel Robuchon is amazing, you may prefer the lunch deal at 55E if you are on a budget.

re: shopwinedinefine
Can someone tell me if chez l'ami jean has one set menu per day or do they have an actual menu. I ask this because it is so highly recommended but since i eat very little meat i am afraid i wont find something for myself there. My fiance on the other hand will surely be happy there.....also I cant seem to find a site on la regalade...do they have an officail site or menu posted somewhere?

No website or official menu for l'Ami Jean and La Régalade (there's one for l'Ami Jean but you won't find menus there). Both have 36€ prixfixe menu with several choices of starter, main and dessert. Both will have meat and fish but not necessarily vegetarian options.
As SWDF says, La Table is a great idea for their lunch deal on weekdays, affordable truly excellent food. L'Atelier is a very high end snack place, with excellent rotisserie -- it has not bargain menu and it is expensive and there are no tables, but some dishes are wow.
You can see pictures from all those place on my Picasa gallery: picasaweb.google.fr/zejulot

re: souphie
souphie you are so amazingly helpful! So do you think I should make a reservation at la reglade or l ami jean knowing that chicken is the only meat I eat. They have such great reviews but i fear there wont be anything for me to eat....
Also, we will be getting in saturday afternoon. I was thinking we might be a bit jetlagged so we should make it a more carefree evening. Any recommendations?? Should we walk around the latin quarter or germain de pres and grab a casual dinner? any place in particular?

Used to live next to L'Atelier Maitre A, and thought was below average. Thought Le Grand Colbert was pretty , authentic, and some of the worst food ever eaten in Paris

"Au petit fer a cheval" I assume this is the small bar in the Marais? It is a great but tiny bar, perhaps my favourite in the Marais. Room for about 10 standing and maybe 10 sitting. There is a back-room but few people head there. They definitely do bar snacks - bread and meat. But I wouldn't head there for a meal.
