This place is ideal for eating a typically Italian sandwich made to order and a tiramisu to die for.\u00a0 Everything here is also made with fresh products, so don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 Customers often have to wait out in the street, because the space is so small, but the service is actually pretty quick.<\/p>\n<p>The most endearing and secret:\u00a0<strong>Le Drapeau de la Fid\u00e9lit\u00e9<\/strong>. This tiny establishment (only 15 seats) is just as endearing as its kind manager.\u00a0 You will certainly want to return to this must-visit location that students only share discretely.\u00a0 Think about coming early to be sure to enjoy prices so low, it\u2019s like a little gift. For example, there are Asian dishes from 6.50\u20ac (5.50\u20ac for students).\u00a0 The place\u2019s charm is also due to its decoration:\u00a0 books upon books cover the wall so that you can patiently wait for your significant other or dinner date.\u00a0 Be sure to watch the time, because the place closes at 10p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The most economical:\u00a0<strong>Go\u00fbtu.<\/strong>\u00a0It would truly be difficulty, really difficult, to find something cheaper, and for good reason.\u00a0 The prices for sandwiches vary from 1 to 3 euros, and the prices peak at 4 euros.\u00a0 Do you have a big stomach or a craving for vegetables?\u00a0 No problem!\u00a0 There is a salad meal that starts at 8.50\u20ac and includes a salad, a mini sandwich, and a dessert.\u00a0 All of this can be found in the Grands Boulevards neighborhood a few steps from the Garnier Opera and the department stores where prices soar.\u00a0 It is more of a take away place rather than a snack bar where you actually sit down, because of its little size.\u00a0 To return to your childhood days, get yourself a sweet sandwich (especially with Nesquick) at snack time.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h2>Cheap Bars<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Bar-Paris.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4802\" src=\"\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Bar-Paris.jpg\" alt=\"Bar Paris\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The biggest one for students:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lesyphax.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Le Syfax<\/strong><\/a>.
