Hi everyone - my wife and I will be spending 10 days in Paris in early December to celebrate 30 years together. We have been to Paris a few times and eating at great Parisian restaurants is always the highlight of our trip. We are staying in the 1st and doing the tourist/museum thing, but we are really focused on the food experience.

I'd really like your opinion on some lunch or dinner ideas, but so far this is what I am considering:
- La Regalade St. Honore - we had a great meal there a few years ago and it has the advantage of being near our hotel and open on the Monday when we arrive
- Salt - new recommendation by John Talbott
- La Bourse et La VIe - we will probably eat there twice - once for lunch during the first week and at dinner the second - it is getting great reviews
- Oysters Huitrerie Regis
- Premises
- Cornichon
- Bouillon
- Clamato (I know reservations are not needed, will go there for lunch)
- Bistro Belhara

Now for the tough part. I want to take my beautiful wife to a place to splurge and celebrate our 30 years together, but I am really torn between:
- Le Cinq
- Guy Savoy
- Epicure
- Spring

Also - should I consider Restaurant David Toutain among these?

Not sure I can get reservations in early December at any of these, but worth a try.

I really appreciate your comments.

I will certainly post highlights (and any lowlights, if applicable) when we return in mid December.

thanks all

DCRandy
