    I eat two or three times a month in Paris, with clients or friends.
    I usually don't book a table, and pick up randomly a restaurant.
    I can only recommend to Never NEVER pick-up a restaurant with :
    - red and white checkered tablecloth. (this is the Gold Rule !) paper or fabric.
    - more than 50% tourists in it.
    - waiters have a beret, calot or any kind of hat.
    - waiters are running everywhere in a hurry.
    - a menu translated in an other language than english.
    - an employee that invite you to come in from outside the restaurant.
    - an almost empty place.
    - with a menu that is more than 20 lines (unless it's a big Brasserie)
    - with a wine menu that is less than 20 lines.

    If ever the restaurant offers some 'tripes' or 'ris de veau' it's a good place.

    • this is the case anywhere tbh. always the bar (aperitif/ digestif as well as wine list)/ small menu/ how little the waiting staff want your custom.kingsteven
