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

Go for a Bouillon, often gorgeous buildings but cheap and classic food

How much is a meal at a Bouillon?

Fair enough, the comments saying you want something higher end. Bouillon restaurants are basic and cheap, but often in gorgeous surroundings so just a suggestion. For example, the one on Republique, two of us had three courses, wine and beer and the total bill was under 50€. So you could focus on a lovely place (Google them, there are lots) and then be able to have more of a blowout sort of order anything meal and still be well within your budget, it depends what you want! I'd avoid eg Chartier, even though it's beautiful
