Free meal deal at restaurants

HUNDREDS of restaurants will be offering two-meals-for-one deals this month in the Tous au Restaurant scheme.

The annual event opens today with the chance to book tables – though the meal deals are only actually available from September 17-23.

As last year, some of the top gastronomic restaurants will take part, though there will be plenty of more modest eateries as well.

The pricier ones last year offered menus ranging from €58 (for two) at Le Carré des Feuillants in Paris to a €300 one at the three-star Guy Savoy or €190 at the Petit Nice seafood restaurant in Marseille.

For the second time the event is being copied in Japan, which is organising a “Diner’s Club France Restaurant Week”.
