Bonjour Mon Ami,

I love Paris.  As I write this, I am listening to a Paris Jazz radio station via the Internet; a mini replica of the Eiffel Tower sits on the shelf above my desk in front of photos of Notre Dame Cathedral and the River Seine; and a calendar of great Paris scenes hangs on the wall behind me.  My wife and I have been to Paris a half dozen times, now.  Of all the things we love about Paris, and as you could probably tell there are many, we especially love to eat in its great, neighborhood  restaurants. 

The first time we went to Paris, we were happy to follow our friends around and abide by the choices they made for restaurant meals.  Some were good, others not as much. 

When it came time for us to make our first trip to Paris by ourselves, we were more than a little nervous.  Would our French be good enough?  Would we be able to find our way around?  Would we be treated rudely?  But most importantly, would we eat as well as the French?  (Tourist restaurants love to give tourists the “English” menu, which feature bland foods and “fries” served with everything!)  We were not going to Paris to eat boring food!

So we did what most people did before going abroad; we bought one of those pricy Paris Restaurant Guides at the local book store.  You know the ones.  They recommend the expensive (and not necessarily better) restaurants that cater to tourists.   We realized that, even though we would be counted among them, we would really rather not spend a lot of money to eat with a bunch of tourists (we could stay home to do that).

By the time we headed back to the City of Lights, we did what a lot of you are doing right now.  We did internet searches.  We found two kinds of results.  First, there were the online forums with restaurant recommendations submitted by well-meaning strangers.  But I don’t know “Bob in Ohio” or “Jeff in Portland” or “Jean in Montreal” and I have no idea what their qualifications are to be recommending places to eat.  

Second, we found the sites put up by people in the travel business.  Sure, we found lots of recommendations, but the travel business makes it money on the back end of a transaction.  How could I trust their recommendations if I don’t know what’s behind them?

Needless to say, all those recommendations for Paris restaurants really meant nothing to us (and nevermind that many of those recommendations we found were two, three, even five years old!!). 

And then I happened upon the perfect Paris restaurant guide.  Let me first tell you why I knew that it is the perfect guide, and how it saved us hundreds of dollars.

They say it’s not possible to get a bad meal in Paris.  That may be true, but that doesn’t mean that there won’t be meals that will disappoint you.  I’ve had a few of those.  Mostly, those meals just weren’t worth what I paid for them.  I discovered that just as paying more for a bottle of wine doesn’t guarantee a better wine, paying more for a restaurant meal, Paris or anywhere, doesn’t guarantee a better meal.

And I should know.  I trained to become a chef at one of the top-rated chef schools in North America.  I have worked in great restaurants with very talented chefs (including a couple from France).  I have been cooking in restaurant kitchens for almost 20 years, now.  I can look at a restaurant menu and tell you which items are fake (made by someone else – or worse, come from a can or plastic bag) and which ones are the real deal (made by someone with talent working in the kitchen).  But unfortunately, this skill doesn’t travel abroad.  Just like you, I needed help finding good value in a restaurant recommendation.

On the ground and in the neighborhood, Adrian Leeds knows good restaurants.  I found that help in Adrian Leeds. 

Adrian is an American ex-pat who has been living and working in Paris for over ten years now.  She makes her living showing off the Paris she has come to know and love.  One of the perks Adrian enjoys is that she gets to eat in all those fabulous Paris restaurants.  As a matter of fact, she eats in Paris restaurants over 300 times every year – that’s just about every day!  And the average cost for these meals?  Amazingly, less than $30 each!  How does she do this on a budget and maintain her slender figure?  Very simple; Adrian lives the Paris lifestyle and, most importantly, she dines where the Parisians dine. 

For some time, to satisfy friends and family, she started to keep track of which restaurants she ate in and what she thought of them.  As the list grew and more friends kept asking, it dawned on Adrian that what she had could become something more.  It became its own Paris Restaurant Guide that she could share with the outside world … visitors to Paris just like you and me. 

If you’re like me, when you travel you want to live as the locals live, see what the locals see and (especially) eat as the locals eat (otherwise, why travel, right?).  Says Adrian, “Parisians enjoy a wide variety of multi-national cuisine, so the guide includes lots of traditional French restaurants, plus authentic ethnic cuisine and specialty restaurants, too.  I purposefully ferret out those restaurants not well known by tourists and cater to a native Parisian clientele, so that you will feel very at home in Paris among the Parisians.” 

When Adrian arrived in Paris, she continues, “Two mottos that drove me to the excesses of dining out were: 1) It shouldn't take longer to cook than it does to eat and 2) Why waste a single meal? Maybe it comes from my New Orleans upbringing where everyone talks about the next meal while dining on the present one. Even as a kid, I remember that the family regularly had restaurant outings, my cousin owns the second oldest restaurant in New Orleans (Tujague's), my niece grew up to become a chef (desserts are her specialty) and my sister threatened to remove the kitchen from her house long ago...until Hurricane Katrina did it for her.”

But then Adrian discovered the Paris bistro.

“One can eat inexpensively in the US (or Canada), but not as well or as inexpensively as you can here, in Paris or any part of France,” she says.  “That average meal (price) is usually two to three courses, at least one glass of wine (usually two) and coffee, including tax and tip.  Tell me where you can do that … for a French meal? Or any meal?”

Because Adrian lives and works in Paris, she “learned how to ferret out the neighborhood mom-pop spots that the tourists weren't likely to find without a little help. Lace curtains became a sign for tradition and classicism. Handwritten menus in the windows were a clue that the food was more important than the marketing. If at 1 p.m. or 9 p.m. the restaurant was empty, then consider it a not-so-great find...as those who live in the neighborhoods are the most knowledgeable about the best little corners without consulting the guide books.”

The result is the “Insider’s Guide to Paris Restaurants” with over 200 well-priced, good-value restaurant recommendations. 

So, what do you get?  With Adrian Leeds' Insider Paris Guide for Good Value Restaurants, you get:

And How About This:

 

Here are a couple of examples of what a recommendation looks like:

AU CRUS DE BOURGOGNE

Just off the shopping street of rue Montorgueil, this is my idea of French bistrot heaven. Like an old fashioned lunchroom, with lace curtains, large palms, red check cloths, bentwood chairs, wine bottles over the bar (Magnums, Jeroboams, Rehoboams, etc.), Au Crus de Bourgogne is what Paris was then and still is now – charming. There are two private dining rooms should you have a gathering and a terrace in warm weather. If you get stuck on the French menu, they will supply you with an English translation. Lobster, foie gras and “Coq au Brouilly” are their specialties. Cuisine is cooked to perfection; exactly what you would expect as perfectly traditional French meal with no deviation.

 

And how does this sound:

LE FELTEU

Jerry hasn’t changed one iota about his hidden little spot on a tiny narrow street of Le Marais in at least 50 years. In some ways shabby, in other ways, charming, Le Felteu is something from another epoch, filled with low-key neighborhood residents who are so secure in themselves, they don’t care what anyone thinks of them – otherwise they’d be seen in chicer corners. There is so little traffic on this one-lane-wide street that you have to know about it to find it. Meanwhile, the bistro fare is divine. Le Felteu grills the most tender lamb chops in Paris.

The onion soup is big, spicy and perfect. The menu is traditional, the portions are large and the treat will be on you. Beware: big Jerry, the owner, has a caustic sense of humor – will sit next to you as he takes your order and then complains about it! - but underneath is a really funny, sweet man. An older woman, who continues to put more potatoes on your table, is sweet enough to make up for Jerry's offbeat style! You'll make this a regular and bring your friends here to sample what a real Paris bistrot is all about.

 

Because of Adrian, we have eaten in both of these restaurants.  Both experiences were exactly as she described - and just as enjoyable.  Le Felteu was actually so good that we went back a second time (something we never do when traveling) and this time brought skeptical friends - they loved it, too!

So I ordered this guide myself for our most recent trip with our niece.  We ate great restaurant meals every day that easily saved us $5-10 each over comparable meals that the other tourists were eating.  Between the three of us over the course of two weeks, we saved hundreds of dollars.  Each and every meal we ate in a restaurant recommended in the Insider’s Guide to Paris Restaurants not only met, but exceeded our expectations!  That’s a bold claim, but one I can easily make because of my experience in the restaurant business and Adrian’s keen insight into day-to-day living in Paris.  I was so impressed with this guide and Adrian’s recommendations that I knew that I had to tell you about it. 

And I know that if you’re anything like me (a food lover on a budget who’s looking for good value and an authentic Paris restaurant experience), you will want to take this guide with you.
