Eight Cheap Eats in Paris (Gourmet
Chick in France)
For my final post on my month in Paris I have put together a
list of the topeight cheap eats in Paris. Paris can be an expensive
city but each of thesesuggestions are under 10 each. Save more cash
by hiring a Velib to getaround (1 hire fee per day) and fill up
your water bottle at the beautifulwrought iron Wallace fountains
which are everywhere in Paris.
1. L'As du FelafelThis felafel shop in the Marais is legendary
and once you have had a felafel
there you will understand why. Each felafel is stuffed with
golden balls of friedchickpea along with pickled red cabbage,
salted cucumbers, eggplant andslathered with hummus along with a
dash of harissa. Order from the window atthe door and get even
better value by ordering your felafel to take away.
Price: 4.Details: 34 rue de Rosiers, Paris (Ph 01 48 87 63 60)
Metro: St Paul. ClosedSaturdays.
Croque monsieur at Le Comptoir du Relais
2. Le Comptoir du RelaisAdmittedly not everything on the menu is
at Yve Camdeborde's bistro is acheap eat but order wisely and you
can feast on the most decadent CroqueMonsieur that you are likely
to ever eat. The toasted triangles of bread arefilled with smoked
salmon, comte and a dash of caviar. Read my full reviewhere.
Price: 9Details: 9 Carrefour de l'Odeon, Paris (Ph +331 4427 07
97) Metro: Odeon.
3. Saigon SandwichBanh-Mi from Saigon Sandwich must be the
cheapest lunch in Paris. This tinylittle shopfront makes only one
thing: banh-mi. Order the special and you get ahalf crusty, light
baguette filled with pork, salami, meatballs and cheese alongwith
lettuce, fresh mint and carrot. The taste is fresh and zesty
although therewas quite a bit of gristle on the banh-mi that I
tried. Still, it is hard to complainat this price.
Price: 3Details: 8 rue de la Prsentation, Paris 75011 (Metro:
Belleville)

4. Rose BakeryFor a piece ofLe Anglais in Paris head to Rose
Bakery run by English/Frenchcouple Rose and Jean-Claude. You can
get freshly made salads and quichesfor a reasonable price. It's not
the best lunch in Paris but when you factor inthe bottles of water
on each table and good quality brown bread and butter it isa good
value option. Read my full reviewhere.

5. Le BambouYou can get brilliant Vietnamese food at this no
frills eatery for bargain prices.It is hard to go past the pho
however my favourite dish is the spicy beef servedsizzling hot in a
terracotta dish. Read my full reviewhere.
Price:7 to 8.50Details: 70 Rue de Baudricot, 75013 Paris (Ph 01

6. Creperie OroyonaThere are a few creperies in action along the
tiny Rue Mouffetard howeverCreperie Oroyona attracted me with its
bright aqua exterior and windowshowcasing two large hotplates for
frying the crepes. Your crepe will becooked to order in front of
your eyes by pouring on the creamy batter anddeftly swirling it
into a thin paste. Try the lunch deal where you can get asavoury
crepe such as the fromage one I devoured, sweet crepe and drink
for
5.50.
Price: 5.50Details: 34 Rue Mouffetard, Paris 75005 (Ph 01 43 366

7. Au Rochere de CancaleThere are lots of inexpensive cafes in
the streets around Les Halles, howeverAu Rochere de Cancale is one
of the picks of the bunch. The age of the cafe is

evident from the solid timber beams supporting the roof and the
prices seem tobe stuck in time as well. Don't worry though the feel
is modern and the food isgreat. The salads here are fantastic and
packed full of goodies or order themenu of the day. Desserts such
as the tarte tartin start at 4.

8. Patisseries and boulangieresFinally, the best place in Paris
for a cheap eat is of course a patisserie orboulangiere. Look out
forartisian boulangiere which indicates that all productsare made
on the premises. Two of my favourites areFrederic ComynandA La
Flute Gana.
