Scratch Restaurant Victor, the foie grois was disappointing, and the "french" truffles risotto dish of the day was ridiculous - a few shaving of truffle over rice and cream does not make a risotto. The recommended $50 bottle of $10 wine was no find either.

Any new "Secrets" seems that the thread could use a refresh.. I'm just staring to look and will post mine as I find them. In the meantime perhaps you may want to share? Thanks and Safe Travels
This place seems like a secret: Run by a church, in a church and your lunch proceeds helps feed the less fortunate..

It's a short walk to Place du Marché-Saint-Honoré where you will find plenty of good choices. The W is also near Harry's Bar which is a great place for a cocktail.

The gourmet restaurant at the Lancaster on Rue de Berri is very good. 1 Michelin star. http://www.hotel-lancaster.com/uk/re...teau-paris.php

If you like gourmet burgers, try Le Razowski http://www.paris-burger.com/restaurant/le-razowski/ It's also in a trendy area, but near the Opera. Not too pricey.

Unfortunately you've chosen the heart of the tourism area of Paris. Pretty much everything around there is overpriced. Even the bakeries! You'd be best heading over to a different neighborhood for food. Try Bistrot Mazarin on the left bank. Good food at a good price near a trendy area. I've sent several Flyertalkers there and they've all reported back that they loved it.
If you like gourmet burgers, try Le Razowski http://www.paris-burger.com/restaurant/le-razowski/ It's also in a trendy area, but near the Opera. Not too pricey.

Update: We made it there and left. The restaurant was a little run down and the loud radio drove us away. We ended up having a pretty good dinner at the Bistrot du Mer nearby.
