France - Restaurant $300-$500 Paris

Any recent Paris visitors with a restaurant in the $3-500 range (not incl alcohol) for 2 ?
Leaving tomorrow.

I have not been yet but my foodie friends in Paris love L'Astrance. Hiramatsu is great as well. I have been to Hiramatsu but not recently.

For me, Alain Ducasse's Benoit has the best bang for the buck. I was there recently and paid around €200 for two.

Thanks will report back.

I would highly recommend Guy Savoy--it's a little bit of a less-famous name than Ducasse, but extraordinarily precise food, impeccable service, and a great location close to Etoile. Eat there, take a nice stroll down the national palace overlooking the Eiffel Tower and you've had an amazing evening for sure.

I was at L'Astrance a couple years ago (post-getting third star). I thought it was very good, but not my favorite meal in Paris. Personally, I'd recommend Pierre Gagnaire (although his food cab be a bit out there). I've also really enjoyed Le Meurice (gorgeous room) and Le Pre Catalan (great food).

We ended up at

Cost was 160 Euros ea. for tasting menu and another 78 for 3 glasses of wine/tax for 1 person, 398 Euros total.

Went there because we are California casual people and it wasnt a problem for shorts.
We sat at the bar that goes all the way around the kitchen area, had the best seats.
Hard to say if a meal is "worth" that kind of money, but it was spectacular.
