      To be honest, I can't really judge it. The secret to go out for lunch or dinner is to ask for le plat du jour (formule). You can choose between having 2 or 3 courses. Next trick for your purse and for your appetite is preferring lunch as the long menu. Dinner is more expensive.
      They had a 3 course menu at Chez Suzette which offers a lot for a reasonable price.
      The price for Le confit de Canard seemed to me reasonable as well.
      French people in general estimate food a lot higher. Rumour goes that they spend all their money they earn in December for their Christmas meal, no matter which social class they belong to.
      In a normal supermarket you will find tools to open oysters, to cut truffles etc. That says it all, doesn't it?

The prices that they showed in this video aren't crazy at all for us (I'm parisian).

Mamaia’s near the Arc de Triomphe is amazing and La Procope next to La Jacobine was the best meal we’ve had . La Jacobine will be our dinner tomorrow night. The wife want the French onion soup you recommended.
