Resturants, Cafes and Boulangeries in the 7th

We have booked the Hotel Muguet on Rue Chevert in the 7th, I am looking to get you input on your favorite Resturants, Cafes and Boulangeries in this area. For the evenings and mornings we would like to stay close to the hotel when to tired to venture out.

Cheers,

Directly above the Ecole Militaire Metro station there%26#39;s a restaurant that serves great steaks and a reliably good plat du jour and it%26#39;s just around the block from your hotel.

Le Comptoir du 7ème

39 av de la Motte Picquet, 7th Arr.

Metro: Ecole Militaire

A restaurant close by and very good is Le Florimond just around the corner on ave de la Motte-Piquet. Another is on your right as you come out of the Muguet on the same street one block down called Pasco. Still very close is Maupertu; go left as you leave the hotel, take the 1st street on your left until it deadends into Le Tourville and you will find it on your right. There are more Bibb Gourmand restaurants in this arrondissement than the previous 4 combined. My favorite Patisserie is Jean Millet on rue St. Dominique which has a few tables where you can enjoy a café au lait or hot chocolate with your pastry selection. Other restaurants a little further from the hotel but still in walking distance are Le P%26#39;tit Troquet, Fables de la Fontaine and Fontaine de Mars all grouped within 100 yds. of each other. There are several cafés on the Place de l%26#39;Ecole Militaire, all of which are better than the popular trap on rue Cler called Café du Marché. Have fun.

I%26#39;ve always been quite fond of Le P%26#39;tit Troquet myself, a very sweet little family-run place, good food, reasonable prices, delightful hostess, very rustic romantic setting.

We had a very nice meal at Tribeca which is located on Rue Cler which is very close to the hotel. Also we had breakfast at Hotel Muguet (9.50 euros) and it was delicious. Freshly baked pastries and lots of other things to choose from (no hot items). I know we could have gone out and eaten for less but we really enjoyed having our breakfast at the hotel. If you haven%26#39;t stayed at Hotel Muguet before you will be pleased with your choice. It is a lovely, clean hotel and the staff are very helpful.

Don%26#39;t forget Cafe Constant on rue St-Dominique

|||

There are a lot in that area!

Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, so forgive the repeats:

-Le Ptit Troquet

-Le Florimond

-Maupertu

-La Ferme St. Simon

-Le Violon d%26#39;Ingres, Cafe Constant and Les Fables de la Fontaine (all owned by Christian Constant)

-L%26#39;Ami Jean

There%26#39;s a Le Notre boulangerie/patisserie right there on La Motte Piquet also.

Lots of good eating in that neighborhood!

Thank you all these are just the suggestions I was looking for. This will make us more at ease on our couple of evenings I know we will be spending around the hotel.

Cheers,

Curious to know what the price range is for these recommended establishments and what your favorite meal was?

Le Petit Tonneau is a nice change. Very small and very nice menu. Just one cook/owner and one waiter. The owner is a lady and makes a nice Tart Tatin. Florimond and Pasco are good. La Terrase is good for sandwiches late at night.

We tried LEI on the corner of Motte Picquette and Bouganville - the meal wasn%26#39;t very good. The pasta with limencello sauce was way to sweet and the veal chops way overcooded. It%26#39;s a nice looking restaurant, but too many others restaurants in Paris to try.
