Not to hijack, but to hijack.
I currently have Guy Savoy and David Tountain booked for restaraunts. What would be a nontasting menu you would recommend (preferably beef related menu)? Would you recommend Jules Verne to either of the above tasting?

Both of those are considered better than Jules Verne to my understanding.
Le Relais de l'Entrecote is probably the most famous steak frites place in Paris, but may be slightly touristy. Its always packed.
Paul Bert does a good steak

quote:Guy Savoy is the best restaurant I have ever been to. I have been there 3 times, twice at the old location near the Arc de Triomphe and once (in 2019) at the beahtiful current location on the quay in the 6th which was a few blocks from where we were staying.
Guy Savoy
The best meal I have had in my life was there and included my wife and I sharing a veal roast for two. Don't miss the artichoke and truffle soup served with bread and truffle butter to dip in it. Absolutely incredible. .

I was planning on doing the tasting menu (I know expensive, but it will be a once in a long time experience). Any objections to that?

I was there around Mardi Gras 2022, and had a very lovely meal at Les Cocottes on Rue St. Dominique, walking distance from the Eiffel Tower. About half and half tourists locals when I got there, but almost all locals by the time I left. Everything was delicious.

The tasting menu will be expensive but spectacular. The only bargain you are going to find at Guy Savoy is something they call the Internet Lunch Special. It is a scaled down version of a tasting menu. You have to ask for because they seem to try to hide it.
Lunch specials at the Michelin stattrd restaurants can be wonderful. We went to the one at LeCinq one year for our anneversary and it was great. One of my favorites was at the beautiful and historic Le Grand Vefour. We had a 3 1/2 hour, 2 bottles of Champagne lunch there one day.

Why cant he wing it? Not everyone wants a detailed plan of each meal.
Because you can spend $70 on two egg dishes and two coffees in Paris as a tourist.
I agree in principle though, just walk around and see what plates look good as you walk by. I'd only schedule one or two specific dinners in a week, if that.
If they have a menu displayed that is in German, avoid it. French, maybe English is OK. Three languages generally means it's no bueno (for food at least.)
Ask the hotel you're staying at (feel free to send them an email.)
I second the idea of walking around with the woman and finding a scenic place to sit and making do. Unless you're going Michelin starred, I'd rather get French food in the middle of nowhere than in Paris. Paris is for the process for most of the population. They almost all know they are there to flip tables for foreigners, unless you get off the beaten track. Not to say it's bad, but I don't think it's worth sweating about.
Get a dinner catered on a boat tour of the Seine. That's Big D1ck energy that will go over better.
