The Paris Restaurant Guide That Other Guides Copy
75 Pages - Over 200 Restaurants

"I never stop looking for the ultimate good-value meal. Most of the restaurants found in the guide books are expensive, but on my own I have found restaurants native Parisians frequent that were as good or often better and less expensive! Now, after years of research, my guide proves that dining in Paris doesn't have to be expensive, all while enjoying the fine cuisine the French have to offer."
Adrian Leedsants

The 75 page guide includes more than 200 restaurants plus the valuable "Do's" and "Don'ts" section.

The Leeds Good Value Guide to Paris Restaurants wouldn't be complete without its valuable Paris Do's and Don'ts. Adrian gives you dining tips and ways of improving your Paris dining experience while keeping your expenses down. For example, bottled water in Paris is as expensive as wine, so order city tap water (quite good) and save your budget for something more worthwhile ­ like that expensive coffee on the Champs Elysées!.

It's already tough to get in so reserve in advance - it took me four tries to finally get a table! Jean Guillot's opened Le Domaine de Lintillac two years ago in the same spot as a restaurant I used to frequent and write about, Atlas Opera. Pleasantly decorated with comfy booths made of "Naugahyde" (yes, it still exists!) and red check cloths on the tables, it is filled with young French who like traditional cooking. Ventilation is good, so you won't notice the smoke. With a list of his "produits du terroir" (purchasable at the restaurant) and a menu of traditional Périgourdine specialties, M. Guillot is surprising everyone with incredible quality at a price half of what it should be. I suspect that sooner or later, his prices will creep up, but for now, take advantage of the good fortune! The most expensive bottle of wine on the menu is a mere €22.70, so splurge and it still won't break the bank. A kir to start is an unheard of €1.40! But most importantly, you will not be disappointed by "Le pâté de canard à l'orange," "La salade de Cabécous chauds," "Les deux boudins aux chataîgnes" or the "La coupe Corrézinne de la truffe noire." The last time I found a restaurant this much of a good value was Les Fêtes Galantes in the 5th, the most commented about restaurant in this guide. There are now two more by the same owners, and all are equally as good! Eva Lee Lichtenberg wrote: "Le Domaine de Lintillac was every bit as wonderful as you said."

If you're in the mood for pasta, this is another great Italian restaurant in close proximity to Gli Angeli in the 3rd, very near the beautifully symmetrical Places des Vosges, and even better, but with a decidedly different atmosphere. A step up in elegance and a little more refined, Caruso is what every Italian restaurant should be. Try the "Rucola e parmigiano," "Penne alla Caruso," the "Bucatini Amatriciana," "Fusilli della Nonna" or if like to try the more exotic dishes like me, have the "Spaghetti al nero di seppia" - rich black-sauce-coated thin noodles with curled cooked morsels of squid on looped and mounded on large white round plate. For me, the sight was a work of art and every bit as delicious as it looked. The Valpolicella Classico is their least expensive wine, but perfectly acceptable. Waiters are Italian, and friendly, portions are copious - all very authentically Italian, including many of its clients, very authentically Italian, too. Thanks to Walter and Shirley Pappas, long-time fans of the guide and friends, who introduced me to this restaurant right here in my own neighborhood.

Chef Thierry Faucher is cooking up a storm at his restaurant "L'Os Moëlle" and packing them in. In his wine shop just across the street (neighborhood residents shop for fine wines here), "La Cave de l'Os Moëlle," he's doing something I've never seen before in Paris - an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet for €20! Three large roughly hewn tables sit at strange angles in a tight space. On the tables awaiting you is an assortment of freshly home-made patés, rillettes, cornichons and a bowl of "bulots" or "bigourneaux" (sea snails) other fish dish (depending on the season and what's fresh at the market). Fresh crusty bread is ready for you to cut as you like on the bar against the wall. There is no choice of menu, but there is usually a soup of some kind on the wood burning stove (I can attest to the cream of mushroom as absolutely sensual and thick 'soupe de tomate') and a main course (one time there was a beautifully poached halibut with olive oil sauce accompanied by couscous and this last time pheasant stewed with entils). If you still have room for dessert and/or cheese, then an array is lined up along the bar. It could include, but certainly not exclusive of: rice pudding, apple compote, mousse au chocolat, tarte aux pommes, prunes, orange confit, Ile Flottante, poached prunes or pear and a variety of pound cakes! Most special of all is that you choose from the wine on the shelves, paying normal shop prices. Our €17.50 Morgon would have cost €70 in a normal restaurant! So, for the price of what you'd normally pay, you can have a wine of very high quality. Seatings are only at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Be prepared to be shooed out to make room for the next group. Go with a group - it's much more fun that way - or be prepared to meet and chat with your neighboring diners! Special thanks to guide purchaser, Eva Lichtenberg, a regular patron whenever she's visiting Paris. She wrote: "On the wood burning stove at the back is a big pot of soup (a yummy cream of vegetable the day I was there) and the main dishes (a big pot of rabbit stew in a wonderful sauce for mopping and another pot of savory polenta). Warming in the bottom rack of the stove was a Tarte Tatin, obviously homemade. There is a hexagonal cabinet with a selection of at least six cheeses. We waddled out in sated contentment and walked on rue de Commerce to the Tour Eiffel where we watched little kids riding the had-run carousel and catching rings on sticks. I'm dreaming about going back to this 'table d'hote' paradise."
