Hi, love the Paris Forums! arrive in a couple weeks. Intend to get to musee d%26#39;orsay early on Sat. morning. (for 9:30am opening). Then over to Place D%26#39;Concorde and up Champs Elysees to Arc....can someone suggest a good restaurant along this route. Have noted many restaurants not open for lunch on Saturdays.
Merci,
Kim

Since you are planning to Place de la Concorde, maybe you could have lunch earlier and stop by Angelina%26#39;s? It%26#39;s on rue de Rivoli, between Tuileries %26amp; Concorde metro stops. There are lots of cafes and restaurants around Arc. You could just pop into any as you walk along Champs Elysees.
|||
There are no restaurants on Place de la Concorde but you could go Chez Flottes on rue Cambon or visit one of the many restaurants around Madeleine which is one block from Concorde.
Cross with Pedestrian bridge and walk through Tuileries to do this.
Angelina will be packed on a Saturday at lunch time and it has to be one of the slowest service in town.

If it is a nice day I%26#39;m sure everything in that area will be rather crowded. But Maison de Alsace is hugh and has cafe items as well as full meals and seafood platters.

2 Restaurants near L%26#39;Arc D%26#39;T which particularly enjoyed on a recent trip were:
Le Maree 258 Faubourg St Honoree, 75008 (corner of Rue Daru)
http://www.lamaree.fr
quite expensive but absolutely fabulous , delicious food.
Not a touristy restaurant – frequented by well-heeled locals. 20 mins brisk walk or E10 in a taxi
Citrus Etoile, 6 Rue Arsene Houssaye 75008 ---
www.citrusetoile.fr
Had a lovely lunch there for E39 for the menu. The wife of the French chef proprieter is an ex model – (American) she works front of house and spent every second re-touching her hair and makeup in the mirror behind the reception desk. That was entertaining. Miaowww.
Not sure if they are open Sat Lunch, but I would definitely make the effort to go to La Maree again - it was just sublime.

Good recommendations. Rue Arsene Houssaye has many restaurants and so do upper parts or rue Fbg St Honore and Place des Ternes.
|||
I%26#39;m probably going to get razzed, but I would suggest one of the many chain sandwich shops near the Arc / Elysees for lunch, such as Doree. Sandwich, drink, dessert for 6-8 euros.
|||
Thanks so much everyone! time has just slipped away from me - not going in a couple weeks, it%26#39;s a couple days!! could not be more excited.
Really appreciate the suggestions.

Test out Laduree on your way up to the Arc D%26#39;T, even if its just for their take away pastries.............Y U M M Y !
