Chartier Restaurant, 7 RUE DU FAUBOURG MONTMARTRE 75009 PARIS

Good food great atmosphere. THis is surely one of Paris' most popular eateries, and for good reason. The dining room in over 100 years old. The food is good, the atmosphere great, and the prices are very affordable.

It gets a mention in practically every guidebook. As a result it is frequented by a lot of tourists, who can chose from the range of French classic dishes on offer such as escargot, Bloc de foie gras de canard, Andouillette AAAAA. They don't take bookings instead (if you are eating anytime after 6pm til closing), you join the queue outside, and wait for a table to become available.

Food is simple but tasty.
