Fast food

If you prefer not to nibble away at your budget, while also saving precious time, around the busy tourist areas you’ll find bakeries and sandwich shops where you can buy a snack lunch to eat as you go.   A handful of self-service restaurants, handy for families, are good for a more copious meal, quick and inexpensive. Outside of the busy lunch hour, bistros and cafés are another idea for a bite to eat.   Brasseries can whip up a salad or a steak, though are more expensive.   If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the range of typically Parisian eateries on offer or if the kids are hankering after one of those little round buns, there are always the major fast food chains that are found the world over!
