Food Scene
Huge plates for very decent prices. The food is quite good, especially for a brasserie. Service continu - which means they are open all day long for you to grab a bite.

Menu changes daily, and is always interesting and delicious. Great if you want to get away from the typical French food offered almost everywhere!

Le Debonnaire
107 Rue du ChevaleretDecent food for a reasonable price, and just around the corner.
Our favorite restaurant - typical Basque fare and inexpensive, with lots of little bars nearby for a "rum arrangé" (house-flavoured rums - must try!) after dinner. Note: cash only, no reservations.

The absolute best pain au chocolat and chausson aux pommes I have ever tasted - and I test them consistently. They serve easy take-away lunch as well (huge variety of sandwiches and salads).
