 Tomato, Gruyere & Potatoes
galette - Nectarine by BeatChick, 4 more photos
Only in Paris would you have something as GOURMET as a crêpe for a street food item & they come in a huge variety of flavors. My personal faves are Nutella, ham & cheese, & citron sucré (fresh crêpes with butter & sugar & freshly-squeezed lemon juice - mmm).
There are 2 types of crepes: sweet crepes (crepes) or salé (savory crepes or galettes which are made from buckwheat flour).
Here's a short list of FLAVORS you'll come across:
à la Crème de Marrons - Chestnut cream
à l'Oeuf - with egg
Banane - banana
Beurre et Sucre - butter & sugar
Canelle et Sucré - cinnamon & sugar
Chantilly cream - whipped cream
Chocolat - chocolate
Citron Sucré - fresh lemon juice & sugar
Crêpe au fromage et ouef - with cheese & egg
Fraise - strawberry
Fromage - cheese
Grand Marnier - orange liqueur
Jambon - ham
Jambon et Fromage - ham & cheese
Marmalade
Nutella - heavenly Hazelnut & chocolate spread

If you have any digestive problems, especially IBS-D, DO NOT DRINK THE WATER. It has a lot of magnesium in it and you might just as well take a laxative. That means no coffee, tea or beverages with water that you may order in a cafe. Buy your water and read the label for the mineral content. MOUNT ROUSCOUS, which you can buy in Monoprix grocery department and some small markets, is one that tastes delicious and has the lowest and most tolerable magnesium count. Leave a Comment

Be prepared - you might actually LIKE the food proffered by the airline (but maybe it's Air France who does such a great job).
My 2nd trip to Paris, I tried to order the fruit plate for our international flight to Paris but was informed that Air France doesn't do that. Good thing because the food was EXCELLENT (for airline food). We started with a chicken caesar salad followed by an entree of Beef Burgundy and steamed veggies. I think dessert was Black Forest cake or some version thereof? I was impressed. I accidentally ate a button mushroom from the Boeuf Bourguignon thinking it was beef, it even tasted a bit like beef and I like it, which is odd since I HATE mushrooms. :)

The flavors are a taste adventure— coffee, chocolate, black chocolate, vanilla, raspberry, praline, orange, chestnuts, pistachio, lemon, rose, caramel, violet flavored blackcurrant, Hunan tea, mint, almonds, Toffee, coconut, lime and Basil, rose, cherries Amaretto, apricot Ginger… you will, of course, need to try them all.
My favorite? A tough call, but at the moment, it is ROSE.
You will wonder how the combination of egg whites, sugar, and flavoring can yield such wondrous sensations. The Ladurée plot twist on Macaroons was to “glue” two together with a luscious “ganache.” This plot twist is now a Paris institution.
Where to find them:
LADURÉE Champs-Elysées
75, avenue des Champs Elysées
75008 Paris
Open Every Day From 7h30 until 00h30
Métro: Georges V
LADURÉE Royale (the original tearoom)
16, rue Royale
75008 Paris
Open Monday-Saturday from 8h30 to 19h00
Sunday from 10h00 to 19h00
Métro: Madeleine or Concorde
LADURÉE Bonaparte
21 rue Bonaparte
75006 Paris
Open every day from 8h30 until 00h00
Métro: Saint-Germaine-des-Près
In the Printemps department store
62, boulevard Haussmann
75009 Paris
Open Every Day except Sunday From 9h35 until 19h00
(Thursday until 22h00)
Métro: Havre Caumartin
WARNING: there is a strong possibility you will become addicted to Ladurée macaroons (not to mention their other cakes and pastries). The stores are beautiful; each is a tearoom, where you can sit and relax and enjoy. Breakfast and lunch are served, and of course there is afternoon tea. Leave a Comment

 No, no, noooo... by ExGuyParis
It strikes me as a bit odd and sad that this is happening... but I suppose for some Americans it offers a taste of home, and for some others it offers a taste of America.
Update, one year later. I was in Paris for a week in July 2007, and walked past at least six Starbucks (in a relatively small area of Paris). I'm not sure exactly why this makes me so sad, but it does. There are now 28 in Paris... Leave a Comment

When thinking of breakfast, do not picture large plates with sausages and toast with marmelade.
Normally you get two bits of baguette with some butter and a little bit of marmelade and a cup of coffee. sometimes they have a croissant and a jus d'orange but that differs from hotel to hotel.
You better take a room without breakfast and then go to the nearest breakfastrestaurant (café au petit déjeuner) in the morning. They have better food, you can make your choice and it is so much 'french'. every frenchmen/women takes his/her cup of coffee with a croissant on their way to the office and when sitting in such a restaurant, you see lots of people coming by and you learn about the french live. Really, this is the best way to wake up in the morning! (Except for sitting at l'Ile St Louis at the Seine and watching the boats pass by and the birds etc.) Leave a Comment
