Paris Restaurants

There are various types of French cuisine, including "nouvelle cuisine" (known for its smaller portions and light ingredients), "cuisine improvisée" (creative dishes made with fresh produce) and "classic cuisine" (that is both "extravagant" in presentation and "lethal in price").Frommer's: Paris Restaurants Overview

Frommer's suggests avoiding restaurants that cater to tourists, and instead look "in nontouristy areas for new discoveries."Frommer's: Paris Restaurants Overview
