After arriving into Paris from London, we were starving and went downstairs from the hotel and…read moreordered a sandwich from a very friendly worker who spoke a little English. Since then, we went a few more times to order sandwiches when we were too exhausted to go out to eat dinner. The best part, they came out warm! Unlike Paul, where it's all cold sandwiches, I enjoyed a warm baguette on a cold evening.

Prêt à Manger's is a huge brand in the UK, with over 200 stores in London alone so this was a…read morenatural choice for me while passing through Westfield Les 4 Temps, this is located on the upper level with Starbucks across the way. While I prefer the outside patio seating area at Starbucks, Pret here has a nice selection of seating and beverages. The food selection seemed poor even though I visited in the middle of the afternoon, there were no gluten-free items other than salad, and no hot food/soup. The staff seemed friendly enough, however, prices were reasonable too. It opens later and closes early than Starbucks and other places nearby too, the opening hours are limited. Good as a backup but I was pretty much disappointed especially with the food selection, Pret A Manger means "Ready to Eat" after all, but even with many hours until closing, there was pretty much nothing "Ready to Eat". 2*

I love Paul bakeries which is a French chain of franchised bakeries and café restaurants that was…read moreestablished in 1889. This shop is located at the entrance of Galleries Gourmandes. They serve Lavazza coffee (yummy Italian Dark Roast), they make delicious sandwiches and quiches, and they have very nice pastries to eat-in or take away. This location seems unkempt and messy which gives the appearance of being dirty. The assortment and depth wasn't as plentiful as other locations. This location has free wifi and is open on Sunday. www.paul.fr

I love how they had such great meal deals and options. All of the food was so good that I wish that this chain were available in Canada! Staff were polite and helpful.

Although this area is pretty close to the Champs-Elysees it is not nearly as touristy and you get way more of a local vibe. We were looking for a place to have some brunch and this was the perfect spot. Our server actually spoke perfect English and was incredibly nice. The prices here are very reasonable and they also have a full bar. The wife went with the quiche and it was absolutely massive, definitely big enough to share. It was delicious and light as well. I went with more of a lunch option and had the scallops. I opted for a salad instead of the potatoes gratin and it was a perfect delicious light lunch. Overall this was one of my favorite meals in Paris. The place is very casual with nice ambiance. The food was awesome and not expensive and lastly we had incredible service. I would highly recommend if you are in the area.

Eating in the Champs-Elysées area is a bit pricey and touristy, but after a long plane ride I was…read morehaaaangry and this was the closest place to snag a croque monsieur. The inside of the restaurant was a bit dark and stuffy, so we opted to sit outdoors on the much livelier patio. Plus, nothing beats sitting outside at a Parisian cafe while people watching and sipping a coffee. Speaking of the coffee, it was fantastic. A bit pricey at 4 euro for a small cup, but was still some of the best coffee that I had all trip. It was the perfect boost that I needed to kick start day 1 in Paris after a grueling red eye flight with a layover in Iceland. But enough about layovers in Iceland and on to the eats. The croque monsieur here was pretty damn perfect. A thick hearty piece of bread smothered in swiss cheese and ham. So simple, yet so tasty. The sandwich also came paired with fries and a small side salad. Once again, definitely pretty $$$ at something like 11 euros for the sandwich, but I knew that was what to expect in this area. If insane hunger wasn't calling, I probably would have preferred my first meal in Paris to be somewhere a little more authentic and a little less overpriced. But, this was still a solid place to grab a satisfying meal. And when that satisfying meal is smothered in cheese and taking place on an outdoor patio in Paris then you really can't go wrong.
