Le Bleu Canard, Paris

If you happen to find yourself sightseeing near Madeleine or Concorde and have a hankering for a lunch break, follow the mass of business professionals carrying small handled gray and blue paper bags until you find yourself at Bleu Canard. No matter what your taste, the popular lunchtime destination has something to satisfy your hunger. If you're planning on taking your food to eat in the nearby Tuleries gardens, that would be so Parisian of you, choose from the selection of ready-made salads, pastas and sandwiches right by the entrance. If you want to sit down, climb the winding staircase to the second floor where you will find hot dishes in addition to the same items offered downstairs. Whether you take out or dine in, don't forget to grab a dessert. Their tarts, cakes, crumbles, brownies and yogurts are the best part of the meal. - Betsy Mikel
