I promised my granddaughter I would take her to Paris when she turned sixteen. We are here.... before I left, I watched every les Frenchies video and made a list of restaurants. At first, my granddaughter moaned and complained as we searched for everything on my list.... but soon, she realized there was gold at the end of the rainbow. The first restaurant was Relais de l'entrecote for Steak and Frite. Hungry for more, she asked if we could watch the videos every night at our Airbnb. Today, we had lunch at Bistrot de Paris.... She's funny...kept looking to see if you were eating there too. We had Cod, Ravioli and profiteroles grande... Expensive but worth every dime. Tomorrow we will go to Bouillon Pigalle. I'll probably be a bag lady by next year but the experience is priceless.

[@mirvinn]

We are right now at Chez Germaine. OMG, it is sooooo good! I can not describe how good is the food and wine, it's authentic French and tasty and THANK YOU FOR RECOMMENDING THIS PLACE! I'm so happy we came here!!!!

[@KarenWrightCoach]

Thank you for allowing me to join you at Chez Germaine - that lunch was truly spectacular! And thanks to the rest of this video I have several other great local spots to try next time I'm there! Merci!!

[@emmalesouef9022]

As a young Parisian i would recommend the restaurant Paloma in the 20th arrondissement, for a rather modern french cuisine. The meal menu is very cheap (15€) for very good products. In the evening you can order plates to share, which are also very good. Thank you for your entertaining videos, your smiles are very communicative. Keep on!

[@kitkat2472]

Yummy... envie d'y aller.

[@steamious7935]

I'm visiting Paris soon. Is this the right street : Julien Lacroix?

[@barmalini]

@@steamious7935 yes, that's the one

[@christianaleonard6988]

Les Frenchies! I just want to say, thank you so much. My husband and I went to Paris for the first time, and I found your videos so helpful! We only had two days to explore the city, and because of watching your videos beforehand, I felt that I knew where to go, and most importantly… What to eat! You guys are an awesome couple, and I’m so grateful that you chose to share all your local knowledge with the world!! Lots of love and admiration from Eric and Christiana Leonard xxx

[@crazyjackfr]

Merci pour toutes vos vidéos, vous mettez vraiment notre culture à l'honneur et c'est un véritable plaisir de vous suivre!

[@69Muscle]

The French make any meal look like a spectacular and special experience. Truly amazing how they embrace all that makes life worth living - food!

[@panuntukan]

I would like to give another tip. A real complete meal (apéro + entrée + plat de résistance + fromage/dessert + café) is not the typical Parisian workday lunch, except if it is a professional lunch, or maybe a friday lunch. This kind of epicurious meal is more for dinners. On workdays Parisians (excluding students and working poors) maybe will take only an entrée or a plat de résistance. A few entrées are really nutricious (céleri rémoulade, salade au fromage de chèvre, salade landaise, assiette de charcuterie, tête de veau, and so on) and with bread can easily be a very satisfying lunch, that allows to go back to work for the afternoon. Or they take only the main course, then a coffee, and that's all. As a tourist in Paris I would do the same, I mean not having a full french meal on lunchtime, so that during the afternoon you can have a pastry or two!

[@yayaetc7334]

Mais oui, c'est sûr!!!

[@oliviermancy4676]

Je comprend. But I disagree. It depends on what your schedule is made off. I work freelance on my computer and though can spend 2 or 3 hours 'lunching' along with friends but only if I can finish the job late in the evening. On the other hand, you're right, we usually have a light lunch and stress on evening food.

[@Lakta81]

Quand on regarde le nombre exponentiel de fast food et quand on tombe sur certains sondages, on se rend compte à quel point les gens mangent de plus en plus sur le pouce à midi. Des plats tout fait qu’ils mangent au bureau, des sandwichs, etc, tout ce qu’il y a de rapide. Les gens continuent d’aller au restaurant mais nettement moins qu’avant. Surtout depuis les confinements pendant lesquels les gens ont pris d’autres habitudes…

[@darlenealvarezfasolo5522]

I wouldn't be capable of eating a full french meal in one of these bistrots for dinner.

[@andreebesseau6995]

Ce genre de déjeuner n est certainement pas pour tous les jours😮

[@jayringo77]

Literally just returned last night from our European trip that ended with 3 days in Paris. The guide was AMAZINGLY helpful and the videos (Metro, Chocolatiers, Do/Don't) laid the foundation for a hugely successful time in Paris. Already planning the next trip back, this time with France as the focus, so your Normandy and other videos are already doing great work for us. Thank you so much and looking forward to future suggestions!

[@jayringo77]

@@LesFrenchiesTravel That would be a great video series...moving to Paris (visas, work, buying/renting property, taxes). It's something we're giving serious thought after such a positive visit.

[@wt9767]

I loved this video as well, but there were not nearly enough vivid closeups of the lady aggressively stuffing food into her face.

[@lilliansanteix7117]

YOU CAN FIND FINE RESTAURANTS IN LESS CHIC ARRONDISSEMENTS AT BETTER PRICES. Choices are typical American expat. No French person spends €100 for lunch except on an expense account.

[@sharonasgari1931]

My husks and and I just returned from vacationing in France. We spent 9 days in Paris and 12 days in Nice. Your videos are absolutely the best! We picked up so many tips watching. I'm curious as to what your careers were in the US, because your videos are so well put together and concise. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us! Colleen, love your Frenchie glassas!!!

[@vndicate]

Very entertaining videos! The price of the meals are much appreciated. Gives us viewers a better sense of actually being there and knowing how much these experiences cost.

[@andrearibi932]

Not a hater … but 2 boiled eggs and a bit of mayo hardly command a mention … unless you have been eating in a correctional facility for the last decade The steamed single leak could be an alternative for €11 ! These are “staple “ of French cuisine , it’s not fine gastronomy , it’s probably good but it’s also €100 for two including a glass of picpoul de pinet ( it’s a plonker not a grand cru ) Generally speaking I find food in France way way overpriced for what’s on offer If you wanna hit it well , scoure the land for a nice Michelin star , visit at lunch weekdays and pay about the same for way way better experience …. There’s only so much you can boast about a well executed mayo

[@andrearibi932]

@@LesFrenchiesTravel no no , I get the atmosphere and the fact that only Parisian go there ( hard being in st Germain ! ) I had a restaurant in the nineties and won an award , we get simplicity alright ! But i have grown disillusioned with food in mégapoles , paris in general , prices have sky rocketed for most small eateries ( super high cost of operation ) so the best one can get is super simple dishes for premium prices it seems I like the channel though so well done

[@danajgolden]

I’ve been in Paris for the last 3 weeks eating at many of your recommended restaurants. Thank you for your wonderful videos. You never disappoint. I am leaving tomorrow… and now I have to book a return flight to eat at these newly recommended places. Les Frenchies you are awesome!!! Next time, I’d like to buy you both a glass of wine with my sincere thanks for making our trip so much more Parisian!

Bonjour Les Frenchies. Love your videos. We are finishing up a month in Paris (from the US Virgin Islands) and ate lunch at Chez Rene. It was great. We didn't have a reservation but they were nice enough to seat us outside without to much fuss. We usually like to eat a nice lunch and then ease up for dinner with street food or salads at apt. The waiter was great and once he heard our so so french he eagerly helped us out in English. He was very professional and very nice. I had the Escargot and Beof Bourguigon and my wife had Ouef dur Mayonnaise and the Tartare Beof. The Escargo was large and tasty. Probavy one of the best I've had in Paris. The Bourguigion was tasty and a hugh portion. It's easily enough to feed 2 people. My wife loved the Ouef dur Mayonnaise and the Tartare Boef was the most spiced up one we've had in Paris. Very good. For dessert we sharded the the Ile Flottante. It was so good (we tried hard to finish it off but just to much.) You were spot on with your recommendation with Chez Rene. And I believe we were the only tourist there. Merci !
