Tasting menu on evening at Pierre Gagnaire is at EUR 220 (without wine).

You should have had the Christmas period add up.

He is looking to spend ~250/total (or less), including wine. a la carte is also very important to them

Including wine? It could be challenging...

Le Dauphin, an excellent bistronomique, might be an excellent choice (trendy décor by Rem Koolhaas, very inventive cuisine, laid back atmosphere, trendy crowd)

It's probably unwise to make too many assumptions, but as the couple in question are not foodies, probably the newest dining trends would go unappreciated. Possibly they don't speak French, either. I would think that beyond good food they'd appreciate a beautiful setting and particularly a warm welcome, which isn't always the tourist's experience. Is there a lovely old brasserie which would fit the bill? (my resto experience is pretty much the opposite so can't comment).

You want to go where? Jan 3, 2013 1:35 pm

Exactly my thought. Skip the name chefs. Think basic French food, well-executed. Unfortunately, I haven't been in Paris in years so can't comment (but would like to read the suggestions as I may be there in a few weeks!

I, too, think something like this would fit the bill. Maybe something like La Gare -
