Everyone remembers their first trip to Paris.

Paris gets approximately five new restaurants per person per month, and we love telling you about them -- but just because it's new doesn't mean it's automatically great.

Taking that special someone out for a date in (arguably) the most romantic place in the world?

To say that Paris is pretty famous for its dining options is an understatement.

If you only go à la carte, your cheque at many supposedly affordable Parisian restaurants can easily fly into the hundreds.
