Appreciate this thread, we'll be staying in the 9th arrondissement for 10 nights in late August. Would love any recommendations.

bathhouse: which end of the 9th are you gonna be in? The area around Opéra/Haussmann is way different from Clichy/SoPi. Some places are gonna be worth the trek and some are more good if you're nearby. As it is, you really need to try Chartier. Not saying it's the absolute best bistro food in Paris, but it's THE classic old French bistro, and cheap. Surly waiters, super traditional menu, the works. Quite an experience.

Chartier looks amazing. Thanks! We are staying around the corner from Folies Bergère (is that worth checking out btw?). Chartier is a 5min walk from our apartment door. I'll research the other suggestions in this thread as well.

EDIT: I just reread and realized you're there in August. Traditionally, French vacations are in August, and what a lot of service places in a neighborhood will do is stagger their two weeks closed around that time (e.g. one bakery will take off the first two weeks, a second the middle, and a third the last). So any particular place might just not be open for the week your there around that time of year.

These places look excellent, we're so excited for this trip! I am kinda bummed we didn't think about the August timing before booking, but with so many great choices we're still going to get so fat. :btroll:
