Casual Dining Near Park Hyatt

Anyone have a recommendation for a casual restaurant near the Park Hyatt Hotel? We already have reservations for our %26quot;upscale%26quot; night, but for the first night in Paris (after travelling some) looking for something informal. Going in April.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

I would suggest that rue Danielle Casanova and Place St. Honore are your nearest prospects for a meal that will be good and not cost an arm and a leg (ignoring the $:€ problem).

From the front of the hotel, turn right, walk a few steps to the corner. You%26#39;ll be looking at the large Place Vendôme Column. Turn left at the corner, crossing rue de la Paix (the street the Hyatt is on). You%26#39;ll be on rue Danielle then, where you%26#39;ll find a number of bistros from which to choose. There%26#39;s a good Moroccan one that I like on the left. These restaurants%26#39; drawback is that Danielle is a narrow street, so only indoor dining. (In the Moroccan one, you eat downstairs in a brick %26quot;cave%26quot;... and the couscous is wonderful.)

But go on down the street a little ways to the next time you can turn right. Do that and walk down the short street to Place du Marché St. Honoré. As you approach the Place, you%26#39;ll see a large glass building in front of you. When you are at the Place, turn left and there, along two sides of the Place, are several restaurants from which to choose. The restaurants have indoor/outdoor dining and daily menus out front. On rainy days, they enclose their terraces. An added feature is that on some days, there%26#39;s a small and very nice farmer%26#39;s market in front of you. Maybe someone watching here remembers the days. There%26#39;s also a Franprix, a small grocery store (your closest), at the far corner of the Place.

All of this walking really doesn%26#39;t amount to much. You%26#39;ll see why I suggest that you walk to the Place: so you%26#39;ll have a nice choice of the bistros on Danielle and the ones in St. Honore. I think everything else (up in the direction of Opera) is going to be further, and more expensive.
