Paris tips?

I'm "stuck" here for a few weeks on business.
Found some good restaurant tips in the WD archives and in the Paris map at morethanorganic.com. Could use a few more. What would be some nice restaurants to go with a medium-sized group where you can get out for around $60 a head or less? What would be a good, comfortable restaurant to dine alone with a book?
I'm in the Montparnasse area but willing to go beyond.
 
I really enjoyed Fish (La Boissonnerie) at 69 rue de Seine the couple of times I went there.

Also, definitely check out Eric Kaiser for bread and croissant. There are branches all around town. One of their baguettes fresh out of the oven with some smoked sea salt Bordelet butter is insanely delicious.

Saturne

Frenchie
Le Dauphin
Spring Buvette
Le Bal Café

Deux Fois Plus de Piment (best sichuan chinese - pas cher)
Ramen on rue St Anne, the one that starts with an H, kinda dirty and large, you can see the cooks from the street. Or the japanese supermarket further up the street.

Mmm...don't really know about Montparnasse but maybe that's because there isn't much around? Heard L'Agrume was alright over on that side.

Aux Deux Amis at the bar
Marché des enfants rouges
West Country Girl

Not going to the Loire with the rest of the world this weekend?
 
For the money my best meal in Paris was Le Chateaubriand. So good that I went back twice. You need reservations but you can also sit at the bar. I also think you could get out for close to $60 a head if you are reasonable on the wine and they have a good selection at lower prices.
 
cafe de la nouvelle mairie was a delightful place to eat - near the pantheon in 5th arr. hipster wine : i gorged on Metras. David Lillie , i believe , has also enjoyed the offerings of this establishment.

indeed, Kaiser is great, but so is Moisan (they better Kaiser in the brioche department).

but best yet is to look at parisbymouth.com and look at their suggestions for ice cream / bakeries etc.

if i remember correctly, there at the place st germain (5th arr) is a great cheese store named Laurent Dubois.

We should all have such problems. Then again being stuck in Brooklyn as a salary man is not the end of the world I guess. Though Brooklyn is empty this month as all the geeks are in France at one Natural Wine event or another. So the rest of sit home, shovel snow and live vicariously through one form of social media or another.

Tonight I am enjoying poor man's Poulet Vin Jaune made with oaky charrdonnay and chanterelles. Quite delicious all the same. Keep those cards and letters coming and we'll see you all in March.
 
This is a acquaintance of mine's blog. He lives there and before moving into the fashion industry, did a pretty good turn in the service industry.

Check it out. His taste is definitely towards the hipster:

Well, I'm back (finally). Best meals were Le Baratin and Le Severo. Both will become mandatory meals for me on all subsequent visits. Severo and its sister restaurant Le Bis du Severo around the corner especially deserve to be world-famous because the steaks were Peter Luger quality and the wine list top-notch. Overnoy, Breton, Metras, Foillard, Dard & Ribo and the like at Le Bis, all that stuff plus high-end Burgundies at the main branch.
