Good and Affordable Places to Eat in Paris
1. Le Bouillon Chartier Restaurant
This Parisian restaurant tops our list because it perfectly embodies everything we look for: reasonable prices, an interesting menu, and a special atmosphere.
This is the kind of place you might walk past assuming it must be expensive — but the best part is that it isn't. By Parisian standards, it's excellent value. Main courses are around €13, and starters (we recommend the garlic mushrooms) begin from just €2. Comida francesa.

2. L'As du Fallafel
If you come from a European city where street food isn't expensive (admittedly rare) you might think that paying around €10 for a shawarma is a lot. But we promise that once you try one of these shawarmas in the Le Marais neighborhood of Paris, you'll think it's absolutely worth it. The especialidad de la casa, as we tell you here, is the falafel, crujientes y recién hechos. Lhe shawarmas can be filled with falafel or your choice of meat, served with hummus, roasted eggplant, cabbage, radish, tomato, cucumber… the only downside is that they're closed on Saturdays. Comida internacional.

3. Foyer de la Madeleine
We thought twice about revealing this secret or not, because the place is not large and is already quite packed every day, but what made us decide is that this restaurant is run by a charitable organization, and the proceeds go toward helping homeless people. It is a experiencia única en París, far better than settling for a franchise and eating the same old thing in a place overrun with tourists. For 10€ you have the option of having a starter, main course, and dessert, which is an excellent price for a full meal in Paris. The first time you visit you must pay €7 for an annual membership card; paying everything on the same day, you end up spending less than at a typical restaurant in Paris. The food is full of flavor and the portions are generous. La ubicación también lo hace especial: it is located on las catacumbas of the La Madeleine Church. The entrance is on the right-hand side. Open for lunch only, Monday through Friday from 11:45 am to 2 pm. Dare to enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience on your trip to Paris. Comida francesa.
Dirección: 14 Rue de Surene, Paris. See more info on the venue's page.
4. Restaurant Krishna Bhavan 100 Veg
An Indian vegetarian restaurant with fresh and delicious dishes. The prices are very reasonable, and although you sometimes have to wait a little to be seated, it is well worth it. You will find it just a few meters from La Chapelle Station. Comida india vegetariana.
Dirección: 24 Rue Cail, 75010 Paris, France. View map. They have other Indian vegetarian restaurants at other locations around the city, which you can see here.
5. Chez Nicos
In one of the areas where you can eat more affordably in Paris, the Latin Quarter you will find Chez Nicos, a family-run spot with good service specializing in sweet and savory crêpes. The crêpes are generously sized and fairly priced, so you will probably want to eat here more than once.
They also serve paninis and offer takeaway service if you prefer to enjoy your meal at the hotel or apartment where you are staying.Comida francesa.
