Bar des Théâtres — Restaurant in Paris

This restaurant is a stone's throw away from the Alma Bridge, where Avenues Montaigne, George V and Marceau converge and meet the Seine. The location is wonderful for business people, the fashion industry and tourists. Also, the menu was modestly priced. One would think the place would be a "can't miss."
