Also recommended! Le 404 in the upper Marais, a Moroccan restaurant with amazing cous cous, Also in the Marais, on Rue de Rosiers, the old Jewish district, Chez Marianne, one of several Israeli restaurants on the street. I think L'as Falafel (a few doors down) is better for the falafel sandwich, but Marianne's has a nicer interior and has great combination plates (falafel, hummus, eggplant, kefka, tabouli, etc etc). The Israeli falafel are much smaller than what we are used to in the US (the size of a Swedish meatball), which give them greater crunch to filling ratio.

Le Petit Zinc (Saint Germain des Pres) has art nouveau interior and great food. I had grilled marlin fillet served on baby carrots and a delicate sauce and an arugula-warm goat cheese salad, which came with the cheese baked on a puffed pastry tart. (Like so many things here, it's all about the sauce and the pastry!) ... Les Botanistes is a lovely bistro. Had grilled wild dorade and an amazing mille-feuille (napoleon) pastry with mushroom and fois grois. (7th, near Le Bon Marche dept. store; speaking of which, check out the grand epicierie--international food market--there).
