1. Willi's Wine Bar : (confusingly, a restaurant). Owned by a British expat and easy for English-speakers to navigate. They serve classic European food and have an extensive and reasonably priced wine list. The roasted guinea fowl is excellent, if it's in season. https://www.williswinebar.com/

2. Le Bon Georges : The quintessential French restaurant. All their ingredients come from local producers and the menu changes daily based on whatever is available at the market. Their wine selection is unparalleled. Make a reservation 2+ weeks in advance. https://www.lebongeorges.paris/

3. La Boissonnerie : A great local bistro in Saint Germain with a small and constantly changing menu. The logo is confusing - they are not a seafood restaurant. https://www.fishlaboissonnerie.com/en

4. Les Philosophes : Old-school, classic French food done well and for a reasonable price. Their owner was the first to ensure 100% of their food was made in house and pioneered an official certification for restaurants who do the same. Look for the "Fait Maison" icon on menus! https://www.thrillist.com/venue/eat/nation/restaurants/les-philosophes

5. Gigi : Fancy Italian with incredible views of the Eiffel tower. You cannot get in without a reservation, and booking opens online two weeks in advance. Great atmosphere for a treat dinner. https://gigi-restaurant.com/

6. Restaurant le 122 : Local place with lighter, more modern French food. Very reasonably priced with an interesting wine list. https://www.restaurant-le122.fr/en/
