Hello,
My husband and I are leaving for Paris in TWO WEEKS! I am usually very organized and well-planned out at this point, but the kid%26#39;s sports and school schedules have left me no time to plan. We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary at Taillevent. We have four other nights with no reservations. We will be staying at Jay%26#39;s which is near the Arc de Triomphe. I am not sure how important it is to plan on restaurants nearby as compared to getting transportation. Following are some considerations:
Bistro de l%26#39;Olivier
Baef sur le Toit
Il Baccello
Osteria
Le Petit Zinc
Le Bistrot du Dome
Market
Banyan
L%26#39;Orenoc
You may notice that several of these choices are Thai, Italian, Asian fusion, etc. My husband and I are more of the seafood/vegetable/ethnic dinner types vs. classic french (foie gras, etc.). We also like hip/happening spots. We were also considering seeing a show at Moulin Rouge or the Lido. Is this recommended? Is there somewhere that you would recommend to dine before/after in the area of Moulin Rouge? I have no idea what time the shows are. We do prefer late-night dining. As far as other evening activities, we are considering a drink at Buddha Bar (mu guide did not recommend this for dinner), Hemingway%26#39;s Bar, Le Bar de L%26#39; Hotel, Man Ray, Le Bilboquet. Any advice would be SO appreciated!! Thank you.

For hip, happening spots, have a look at damedecanton.com
I%26#39;ve heard and it looks like it%26#39;s loads of fun. I%26#39;m making reservations for November.

Voila some suggestions :
Japanese experience, www.guiloguilo.com, the chief come from Kyoto, he has just opened in Paris, and you have 2book very early for a table ...
If you like seafood in an elegant atmosphere, go to www.leviolondingres.com and check Les Fables de la Fontaine ...
A %26quot;round the apple gourmet journey%26quot; ? try www.pomze.com ...
More french but typical and nice brasserie decoration : www.autobus-imperial.fr
Sushis and sashimis, one of the best in Paris is Isami on the Ile St Louis, infortunately no website and you have to book, small and always full. Ask your hotel concierge to book ...
About the shows i would rather suggest Bobino, the dinner and the show, both are of great value :
www.bobino.fr
And if you dine at the Orenoque, just check the jazz program (if you like jazz) of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Club at the same adress ....
Enjoy it

and one more thing, forget Le Boeuf sur le toit, quoted 2,5 on a 5 scale (french patron%26#39;s comments) on Cityvox.com, a french website

We celebrated my 41st birthday at Taillevent – and it was everything we expected (despite the fact it had lost a star since our previous visit). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Close to you are the Table du Lancaster (Michelin 1*), which has very interesting, fusion cuisine and the Table de Lauriston, an upmarket bistrot that attracts lots of locals where the chef has a light hand which emphasises the simplicity and freshness of the produce.
On the Ile St Louis, we love Mon Vieil Ami (which does great things with vegetables) and people who we trust think Itinéraires in the Latin Quarter is very good value for money.

I so appreciate your kind responses and advice! I planned our last trip (a Med. cruise) thru all of my research on trip advisor and it was wonderful...all perfect recommendations! This site really is invaluable.
