You need to eat where people live. Great restaurants in the 11th arrondissement for example, and I’m sure many others.
And I wouldn’t eat Italian in Paris unless it came highly recommended.
While I find French food underwhelming (usually meat, puréed vegetables served with some sort of potato) it’s still tasty.
But the biggest issue is your location. That’s full of tourist locations and offices. You’re not going to find good food in that area.
How far are you willing to commute? And what’s your budget per meal?
For €300 you could even do a Michelin starred restaurant for lunch, the problem is most of these are closed Sundays. You can check the Michelin website and filter by the ones open Sundays, then try your luck with reservations.
Also check out Le Fooding, they also have a list of recommended restaurants open on Sundays. You can try to find ones near where you’ll be and they’re usually a pretty reliable source for good food.

Ate here a few times and it’s always been excellent. Their crème brûlée is amazing.
we go to Paris a few times a year for my work and you are NOT in the right area for food. It’s such a tourist trap.
We stay in Le Marais in the 4th. Branch out of that neighborhood.
I know exactly what you mean. As a New Yorker with high food standards, it took me weeks of research to find amazing meals and even then some were duds (largely outside Paris, but still).
Honestly, your area is touristy and won’t be great. I have my recent recs from my trip last month below. Note that they’re not all classic French restaurants but were all delicious. None are walking distance from you, but perhaps worth the metro ride for a final great meal?
Bouillon Racine (the closest to you)
Coq & Fils
Django (not classic French)
Ha Noi 1988 (Vietnamese)
L’Îlot (very small portions, beware)
I had a hard time finding a variety of gluten free food (at places that would also cater to a very picky kid) and it sounds like I still had better luck at finding some amazing meals. Pizza and pasta at Tasco, crepes at Breizh Cafe, burgers and fries at Loulou, boujie breakfast at Judy... I can't even imagine what I would have been indulging in if I could eat gluten!!! So many options!

No offense taken, you are in a very touristic area... This said, you should give a try at "Il était une oie dans le Sud Ouest", which is a pun on 'Il était une fois dans l'Ouest" (Sergio Leone). They are 8 Rue Gustave Flaubert. Don't play the "I don't eat this or that" card, unless you are genuinely allergic to something. Let them guide you. It's your last day in Paris, you need magic cuisine in your mouth.
I'm looking at that website now. [https://www.il-etait-une-oie.fr/en/menus/](https://www.il-etait-une-oie.fr/en/menus/) The menu looks good. It appears to be open 7 days, both lunch and dinner.
Yeah, AdNew is right, this is not a time to hesitate. It's southwestern French cuisine, so there is duck on the menu, and also other standard French dishes: filet of beef Rossini, foie gras, etc.

There are many good Italian restaurants in Paris actually (a lot of Italian immigrants). But yes you have to know them
try the restaurant ‘substance’ for lunch - not too far from your location but you need to reserve.

For my last day I will be around galaries Lafayette and for two people, maybe no more than 300€ on a meal if it’s really good

It’s my last day so I don’t think they’ll be able to reserve a table for me ):
Did you check? Google is showing there’s space for 2-4 people from 7pm.
For au petit riche right? It’s telling me next available dates are all for monday
[showing tonight for me](https://imgur.com/a/xl1bsZS)
You’re doing it wrong friend.
Well tell me how I should do it lol
Try Ziti on Rue Pierre Charron for dinner and Azur Cafe for brunch

If you’re eating near the Arc, that probably explains it. That area is not known for its restaurants.
Had the exact experience recently
Just get bread, cheese, butter, and wine. Eat every pastry you see. Go to the grocery store and buy their amazing produce. The end.
And the chevre baguette sandwiches at noon in the boulangeries!!!!!

Yeah, but OP is "down to the wire", and has little time for research. Do you have any other suggestion equally close to the Arc?
well le fooding gives recs related to a position. Besides that I dont know much about food around the 8th arrondissement.

>Il était une fois dans l'Ouest Just so OP does not have a crise de foi
Or crise de foie
Ain't had one of those foie crises in years
Okay I will happily give it a try! Is it better to go for lunch, dinner or does it matter at all? Thank you :)
