restaurant advice with mum aged 82 in Latin Quarter

Hi,

I%26#39;m taking my mother to Paris in May as she needs to have something to look forward to having lost her husband ( my father ) a couple of months ago. Can anyone recommend restaurants in the area around Hotel Henry 1V Rive Gauche, which is where we are staying. We are looking around the £ 30-35 max and would be grateful for any recommendations, otherwise we will just have to try local ones out.

Thankyou for any advice given as it is much appreciated.

I have just been reading some past comments on restaurants and I have found Le Pre Verre and Le Petit Zinc recommended. Can anyone tell me the rough price of a meal in both and where Le Petit Zinc is situated. I know where Le Pre Verre is situated.

Thankyou

I am sure that you and your mum will enjoy the Jardin d%26#39;Ivy on rue Mouffetard. Another of my favourites is L%26#39;Époque on rue du Cardinal-Lemoine.

They both serve excellent traditional cuisine within your stated budget with friendly service and are within easy distance from your hotel.

Bon apetit!

I%26#39;d recommend Le Reminet, very near your hotel, although more expensive than you hope (around 50 euros or so).

It%26#39;s excellent food and atmosphere.

As far as your other ideas, I would say when I go there I spend about 50 euros at each, including wine. I believe Le Petit Zinc has a fixed menu at around 30 euros or so. But be warned it is not close to your hotel, it%26#39;s either a long walk or a few metro stops away, at St. Germain des Pres.

If you don%26#39;t drink wine, it is easy to find a place for about 35 euros. Lots of fixed price menus are at that price.

I second Les%26#39; suggestion of Le Reminet. It%26#39;s quite small and very popular, so do stop in and make a reservation or have the concierge at the hotel do it for you. It%26#39;s a very easy walk from your hotel. Also, please be sure to avoid eating in the r. St Severin/r. de la Huchette area, which is almost directly across from your hotel, next to the St. Severin church. It is a fun, lively area for walking and people watching at night, but do avoid eating there.
