A budget friendly way to eat well in Paris is to have lunch at nice places (very reasonable prices, even in very high end places), and cook dinner (if you have a place that lets you cook).
Eating at Bouillons like Bouillon Pigalle and Bouillon Chartier and Bouillon Republique are good ways to eat well and cheaply in Paris. But you can see there’s almost nothing for plant-based people https://t.co/BajBBbcQ3i
Have heard from several French food lovers that there is an increasing trend of restaurants serving food bought from a central manufacturer and then warmed up. It’s probably true (food quality seems less good than before), but still better than nice food in America to me
A lesser known part of my food history is that I was spent a lot of time in my formative queer years with queer people who owned good French restaurants, so my taste for French food is quite.. expansive
Lunch with a view (the lunch set is the most affordable)

Oyster beignets (aka Japanese kaki fry). The seafood place is next to the ‘earth’ place. A well known tapas style setup in Paris (one for seafood, one for meat) that’s open late and fun place to go

Family road trip to Brittany tomorrow. I’m going to be disappointed if I don’t get to eat my body weight in butter
Brother in law is saying that some people drive 30km to a suburban McDonalds near his home in Paris and will sit in a drive through for an hour for McDonalds.. in case you still believe French people don’t eat McDonalds

Canned European seafood is one of my passions (in SF I go to Decant in SoMa or Spanish Table in inner Richmond). Pricey here and probably not as good as Spanish and Portuguese ones. Hehe

My wife once bought fromage blanc in SF (from Cowgirl?) and she cursed at it. So finally she’s got one she approves of. I have to say America has a shortage of good quality high fat dairy products. Everything is too low fat for me https://t.co/OKxGgC5afs
Finally had a kouign amman in Brittany. I will have one a day while I’m here

They have frozen buckwheat galettes here in supermarkets. 10/10 would make buckwheat galettes all the time if I didn’t have to make it from scratch myself https://t.co/J0oyNrXao2
French benne dose (with bacon and goat cheese).
Mussels and fries with three types of pork. I love Brittany. It has all of my main food groups, including butter.

This is one of the best kouign amman I’ve ever had. And they had a wonderful red pepper and raspberry ice cream. Also that flag is a Brittany flag.
I do not like most kouign amman in the US: they don’t put enough butter!

Very good Cambodian and Vietnamese (many Cambodians also lived for many years in Vietnam before they moved elsewhere in the 70s and 80s). Try the amok, the fish paste with coconut that’s like a creamier otak-otak

Pretty decent yakitori and tori don restaurant. This street has more (and better) Japanese food than the entirety of Japantown, San Francisco. Sigh

Casually guessing that there are many more Asian students and workers in Paris than before; and that French and Japanese people have a long history of liking each other’s cuisines. It’s clear there is an explosion of interest in Japanese food here, lines out of every restaurant
A handful of good French-Japanese bakeries and restaurants including at the very high end, often run by Japanese chefs who trained in France. Tried to get a reservation for Kei, booked out for.. the rest of the year :/
Also French-Japanese baking is totally its own thing and I am a very big fan of that mashup
More for the French-Japanese patisserie instead of the bread. But it’s a combination I prefer more than most American baking, which is way too dense and way too sweet or sour for my taste.
One of the hardest restaurants to get into Paris these days is this French-Japanese restaurant. I will keep trying

I have the tastebuds of a 80 year old lady from Brittany. I don’t like pastries unless they’re full of butter and bechamel. Very rarely eat Californian baked goods as a result (need 5x more butter)

La Recyclerie is a eco-minded cafe and urban farm with beautiful views of urban farming along old train tracks. They also have good regular and NA cocktails in a very homey environment.
