cheap eats around latin quarter/rue des ecoles?

hi,

i%26#39;ll be going to paris for the first time this coming monday (very excited and have been reading up on paris as much as i can) and i%26#39;ll be staying at the minerve hotel (in rue des coles). as such, i%26#39;m wondering if anyone could recommend some good places for dinner that are preferably under 20 euros.

thanks heaps! :)

It%26#39;s getting tougher to find dinner for less than 20E, unless you will enjoy a pizza or just go into corner brasserie and get a plate of moules/frites...

If you want a multi-course meal, it will be easier to find such between 22-30E all over the place.

For any other ideas, enter %26quot;cheap eats%26quot; into the forum search...

Le Pre Grille in the 5 e is a three course meal ranges from 10-15 euros for dinner! For 10 euros they have a great huge pasta dish or a huge salad.

Hi zerodoss -- the area where you are staying takes its name (street as well as quartier) from the substantial student population so wherever there are students there will be (relatively) cheap eats! I think if you just wander around the area looking at menus, you will be able to find at least informal meals in the price range you are hoping for. Fortunately for you, all restaurants post their menus outside (required by law) so you can see what%26#39;s offered and how much you will be paying before going in -- then you can decide on other factors, like which seem more appealing!

Have fun on your first trip!

You will find a lot of cheap menus in the following streets : rue la montagne sainte geneviève, rue de l%26#39;école polytechnique. Mostly world food, including a tiny ethiopian restaurant that I strongly recommand !
