Planning a trip to Paris at the moment. First (and not surprising
) the 3 star and most 2 star restaurants seems to be at least 30% overpriced. But OK, it´s Paris. Nevertheless I like to do some nice place. "Problem" is, that I live pescarian (no meat, poultry). Vegetarian menus are simply not available at more or less all places and the fixed menus always contain meat-dishes. Do restaurants in Paris (I know they do in nearly all other cities, but Paris is Special) allow changes and which high end restaurants would you recommend in my situation (Dinner and Lunch)? Or would it be the best to save my money and eat at "normal" restaurants in Paris?

Maybe best to go when you're next in Paris alone. That particular restaurant is at the very top of my bucket list, but I'm rarely in Paris so it will have to wait

I just got back from San Sebastian, slightly disappointed with Arzak (very rushed service), however Mugaritz blew me away, we also went to Exteberri on the way back to Madrid, it was very good. I'm writing up my trip report with full pictures, but will post here once complete of the reviews.
Was at Osteria Francescana a week and a half ago ... much preferred the other two.

Had a great dinner at 1-star Le Prieuré (next to Avignon) last night and the hotel is excellent!
As that was the last dinner of the year with the hotel shutting down for winter, I was worried a bit about the quality. But there was no point in that because everything was top level.
They also turned me on to the first Rhone white that I've actually liked. Vacqueyras Roucas Toumba. ^

Had dinner last Friday at The Modern (2 stars). Excellent modern American cuisine. Excellent cocktails as well, and a great view of the sculpture garden as the sun set. Much better than my experience in the Bar Room a few years back.
