Going to France soon, is there any eateries/restaurant you guys and girls recommend?
Like is there any top food places that tourist people would NOT know off. I really hate going to those eateries where they cater for Tourist.
Excellent food but cheap places around Paris, and Nice. Thanks in advance.

Take a walk around the streets of Paris, and you will notice lots of little 'bistros' and sometimes formal restaurants. These places have excellent food, at relatively cheap prices (Paris is an expensive city). You will usually see a 'menu' which is 3 courses for between 20 and 45 euro.
Also try looking around the local markets and the patiseries and boulangeries for excellent food. The markets will often sell cheeses, terrines, foie gras and pate. Just grab what you want, buy a baquette and head for a 'jardin'......

You're thinking like a New Yorker. What places to avoid so I don't get ripped off? In Paris it's different. France as well as Italy are food cultures. You could eat almost anywhere in Paris without fear of falling into a tourist trap. You could walk a few blocks away from the Champs Elysee and find a great place or a few blocks away from the Rue de St. Michel on the left bank and find a great place. It's a food culture. Be adventurous.

Before I went to France in 2005, I had heard a lot about how good French food is. I thought, "Come on, how good can it really be?".
We're just ordinary folks; we ate in ordinary cafés and bistros. The food was so good: the ingredients were fresh, the meal presentation (not usually something I notice) was great, and it just tasted good. It was apparent that there is big difference in the expectations of the French compared our expectations for a meal in the US. The people preparing the food and the servers seemed to care more about the meal than here.
France has cafés everywhere. Just get off the beaten track and you'll find the places that the locals frequent.
Bonne chance et bon appetit !
