We can narrow it down, because if you wait less than a<br />week in advance to reserve at most of the venues I've reviewed, they will tell you there are no more tables.<br /><br />Just off the top of my head, I would recommend L'Agrume and Lilane as two spots with terrific price/quality ratios. L'Agrume will be tough for a last minute reservation, but Lilane could be possible.<br /><br />As for lunch, taking your parents to any neighborhood bistro/cafe where there's a crowd will probably provide a satisfying Parisian experience.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting the site. Eat, don't faint.<br /><br />MortstiffAJ KIMMELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312188179026656562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339771452030810148.post-85205888208854548872012-03-29T05:02:05.017-07:002012-03-29T05:02:05.017-07:00HELLPPP!!

Definitely all hype and not worth it.Gourmet Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00695823720303524600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339771452030810148.post-79107440115652612782009-02-22T23:49:00.000-08:002009-02-22T23:49:00.000-08:00Good !(i hope that you know we are not allowed to ...Good !<BR/>(i hope that you know we are not allowed to smoke in any restaurants anymore, so that they don't smell like cold smoke now !)Tonfalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717636520032042769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339771452030810148.post-2001713542050916172009-02-21T15:09:00.000-08:002009-02-21T15:09:00.000-08:00Thanks Tonfal for your comments. What you say see...Thanks Tonfal for your comments. What you say seems to make sense. It's the media's fault! I promise to give it another go, next time for lunch, and with the perspective that I am going to a true Parisian cantina and not Le Tour d'Argent. I will poke a few holes in my sweater, put on my sexy shoes, and smoke a pack of cigarettes to get the smell down correctly. Then I will order that cabillaud salad and apologize profusely to Chef Raquel!mortstiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082099497485344578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339771452030810148.post-25700317378649038972009-02-21T09:33:00.000-08:002009-02-21T09:33:00.000-08:00Yes indeed Le Baratin can be "oversold" by culinar...Yes indeed Le Baratin can be "oversold" by culinary press. But this is NOT Chef Raquel's fault !!! It is just because journalists just copy on each other.<BR/>I am one of those Baratin clients, not very sexy, but yes Parisian with capital P (i couldn't live else where, don't ask me why, maybe i am Pariscoolic, since i was born here), Belleville is my headquarters, i live, work, eat here, and le Baratin is one of my cantinas !<BR/>I preceise cantina, because i don't go there like if i was going at l'Ambroisie ! I only go to lunch (the 15 euro option which was 13 euros not long ago) and YES this is truely one of the best lunch option !<BR/>The cabillaud salad, the "plats de bistrot" are really top ! Wine well chosen. I would agree, the deserts are very simple, but this doesn't bother when you pay little !<BR/>I love the chef Raquel, she really takes care of her clients ! <BR/>Please just look at Le Baratin as a very honest and happy restaurant of Belleville, a non-touristic neiborhood, easy to live !Tonfalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717636520032042769noreply@blogger.com
