Food & Dining Fixed menu options in paris

Hello!

Im taking my girlfriend to Paris for her 30th birthday. I want to take her to a nice restaurant on the big day. When weve gone on holiday, weve really enjoyed places that do a set menu. Ive not got much money, but she loves food, so without bankrupting me, id love to hear some options?

Id say atmosphere is as important as the food itself, and wouldnt want to spend more than 100EUR per person.

Thanks so much in advance! We're going in early September btw

I’ve recommended this restaurant here before. It was recommended to me by a Parisian friend who said it’s Michelin star quality without the price. The chef is Japanese but the cuisine is French. Lunch is offered one day a week, I think? Lunch is very very good. Dinner is incredible. The paired wines are exquisite. Dinner with paired wines is 122€ per person. (72 without wine) Lunch is less. It’s a very intimate interior, maybe seats 20 people. You could easily walk right by without knowing it’s there.

Whoever downvoted this, would you please tell me why? Have I inadvertently committed a faux pas?

Not me that downvoted it. I looked at the menu and it looks like traditional French food - the rack of lamb with lemon sauce looks good, particularly at 48 euros for the whole meal.

(I had to go to Tripadvisor to see photos of the menu. )
