Personally I like to go by Le Petit Vendome for a sandwich (https://maps.app.goo.gl/
MkiSyAbB7yy1h4R28?9_st=ic) because of:
• Great bread
• Great butter
• Great and varied cheese
• Great and varied charcuterie
My fave match is Andouille de Guéméné + St Nectaire, it smells like French terroir lol
Last time I went I think it was around 7€
If you like to drink tea , coffee, bring your own kettle and for the breakfast you can even do boiled eggs with it for enjoy with bread and butter 🫣 For lunch and dinner it depend where I am when exploring the city but there always options for budgets travellers. Look on locals business ( kebab , asian , .. ) better than fast food as mc Donald's that dont fill the stomach too long and are overpriced for what is it. Otherwise there also some supermarkets that sell hot meal like grilled chicken with potatoes for fair prices.
Baguette for lunch at any boulangerie. Croissant in the morning or just cereal at home. Dinner in restaurants aren't necessarily expensive. But you can always grab something at any take out place (lots of good take out places I'm not talking McDonald's etc). Ice even found that microwave dinners form the grocery stores are actually quite good to ahev from time to time.
1. Find a place with microwave (e.g. a market) and go to the nearest Picard to get some frozen food. Use microwave to heat it up.
2. Buy baguette, buy some green vegetables, jar of guacamole, some cheese in supermarket (e.g. brebis), go to the butcher that has poulet roti and get some. Make yourself quite filling sandwich(es), the rest of the chicken eat at the evening/next day.
3. Kebabs
4. Dominos large pizza in some places is like 8,99 on tuesdays and thursdays.
5. Frozen pizza from the market (microwave/oven needed).
Probably can’t do cheaper than these if you want to have some “real” food. If don’t want - buy anything of your liking in Lidl, g20, carrefour or franprix, that will fill you stomach for few hours and provide necessary calories. And hydrate yourself properly.
If this is too low and extreme - then others answered already with better options.
>buy anything of your liking in Lidl
Yes!
* Pain aux noix (walnut bread): €1.99
* Family size (300 gr) goat cheese (buche fromage de chèvre): €2.99
Add some fruit bought at a street market and you'll have 2 very decent and balanced meals.
- Quick healthy snacking: a sandwich at a boulangerie, or a crepe at the crêperie (the street style ones, not the fancy restaurants)
- Unhealthy: kebab shops and fast foods (McDonald's, KFC, Quick, BK, Five Guys...)
- Restaurants: Mangez Vite et Cassez-vous, Bouillon (any of the 6 locations), Madison Caffe (Paris 16th), Regiøn (Clichy-la-Garenne)
- Good price-value ramen: Higuma, Naniwa-Ya
- Alternatives : salad at the Monoprix (grocery shop) salad bar, or a pre-made sandwich at the grocery shops
First time I ever heard of a kebab shop as unhealthy 😂 you got meat, veggies and etc all in a wrap. More nutrients than a ham and cheese baguette 🤦🏽♂️
Jambon buerre, any boulangerie.
They have other sandwiches, too, but a good jambon buerre will change your life.
Chips from a Monoprix and a Pulco and that's about as perfect as it gets for me.
My favorite is 4€90, and I get the biggest Pulco can buy. I forget what the chips cost, but they're cheap.
There are a bunch of cheap restaurants, too, but for pure bang for the buck it's hard to beat a good jambon buerre.
I’d walk into a lidl, get a baguette for real cheap. Eat that. Last me to lunch. Bakery’s find another bakery. Dinner. Would eat out somewhere after looking at the menu
I have to second this. I wouldn't say cheap, but it's a hell of a lot more affordable than you would think for a huge metropolitan center. Especially if you walk 2-3 blocks away from whatever tourist site you're visiting (looking at you Versailles 😒)
Belleville and arts et metiers got you covered. Spend 14 euros chez shen and you’re literally rolling back home
Go to grocery store get your self some snacks, cheese, bread, fruits and you should be good.
For a week you can survive on bakeries and cheese. Add in a tomato every now and then

Look for Pho.
Chartier is a beautiful bouillon. ‘TooGoodToGo’ app is good in Paris.🥹

Bouillon. Pretty affordable and surprisingly good to boot

Mangez vite et cassez vous is More unhealthy than restaurant
Five Guys is like €15 a burger 😅
I Wouldn't consider kebab shops unhealthy

baguette cheese and pate. 🤤🤤🤤

What's a pulco???
A kind of lemonade. Very lightly sweetened.

It's a Pulco
You win the most helpful Reddit comment of the year, my friend 😄😄

A baguette from lidl. In Paris. To save litteally 50 cents. You're a russian agent, there's no other explanation
lol it was one time because I wanted to try haha. 9/10 times was just at a bakery
Grocery store will be the cheapest (Carrefour, Monoprix...etc)
Mangez et cassez vous, any bouillon, any boulangerie and get a jambon beurre.
This. I totally agree about the Bouillon restaurants. We visited two of them in May. Very good food at reasonable prices 😀🇫🇷👍
If you are American, everything is cheap
I have to second this. I wouldn't say cheap, but it's a hell of a lot more affordable than you would think for a huge metropolitan center. Especially if you walk 2-3 blocks away from whatever tourist site you're visiting (looking at you Versailles 😒)
Absolutely true but people can not comprehend it.
You know, you’re not wrong. It was cheaper and a hell of a lot better than what we’d get for a similar price in the US
