Paris - 8th District Sunday dinner

[sharky1]

sorry for the late notice, but I just found out I'll have a free night tomorrow (Sunday).. My hotel is in 8th district, and unfortunately this is not my area of expertise in Paris, but I'll need to stay in the area. A 10-minute cab ride would be max.

Any recommendations for a solo dinner in the area?

Prefer French cuisine. Not picky otherwise. Not looking for 100 euro +, but if the right place comes up, I won't rule it out.

thanks for any help!

ps - the only thing on my radar at the moment is fontainedemars or les_fables_de_la_fontaine, but would be very happy if something a bit closer came up..

Your radar has nice ideas. Depending on where you are in the 8th, they might be very close. Le Cinq is open on sunday nights, with Briffard usually in -- it's my favourite restaurant in Paris, exemplary fine dining, but you will spend more than 100euro, more than 200e unless you're careful and don't drink much, and more than 400e if you suddenly are possessed to eat Four course A la Carte. If you don't mind the 400e and are an adventurous eater, Pierre Gagnaire is also open on sundays. Le Bistrol if you're tempted.

Back to more classic places, Le Bistrot d'A Coté rue Gustave Flaubert is also open on sundays.

ah yes, you've tempted me with some real winners there, but this not the night for Gagnaire ;)

Le Flaubert, however, is a great suggestion. It's going to the top of the list. Thanks!

We just returned from Paris yesterday and had dinner at les fables de la fountaine. It was great and jam packed. A reservation is needed, as we saw many people turned away.
