that's already out of his range. 105euro is 250 us, and now he wants wine, and probably water, with bubbles, no less, and don't forget, al a cart. i'd recommend printemps employee cafeteria. inexpensive, and the greatest view in downtown paris.(food is not special)
these people should get out of paris. way out. paris is expensive. the rents are high. the prices reflect the price of rent. one can hit his price range either in the countryside, or in Lyon or Nice, or even Cannes.
