Cuisine and a restaurant culture are France's bread and butter - or should you say toasted baguette and fois gras! - for there are few destinations in the world where fine dining figures so highly in the national consciousness. For those fortunate enough to have eaten with a French family, the importance of mealtimes cannot be over-emphasized. But whether it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, backpackers staying in Paris Hostels are well advised to seek out only the best budget Parisian restaurants.
L’Astier, 44 rue Jean Pierre Timbaud
The Astier offers exceptionally well-prepared French food at a reasonable price. An a la carte dinner can cost as little as 29 euros and offers sizable enough portions to satisfy even the most hungry budget traveler. Former satisfied diners recommend the home-cured herring.
Kong, 1 rue Pont Neuf
Attentive service, exquisite food and all at a wallet and purse-friendly price. The restaurant is also has a bar in which tourists can wait for a table or have some après-meal drinks.
Le Timbre, 3 rue St-Beuve
It may be a tight squeeze but that's unlikely to deter most hungry Paris hostel dwellers. If you can fit this restaurant into your schedule once, you may well pencil it in for a later date. Excellent food with a good selection at every course.
Le Relais de l'Entrecote, 15 rue Marbeuf
For those that enjoy steak, there are few better places to experience red meat the French way. Not the cheapest on our list, but what can a traveler expect for a sample of the delicious secret steak sauce. Definitely worth choosing one of the cheaper hostels in Paris to spare some money for a reservation!
