HI and welcome, mforrests. There is actually a great food court on the top floor of Galleries Lafayette ~ lots of choice, a wine dispenser  and great views of Paris. Jo |

Somehow that space never excited me. Any other suggestions.

I walked to Place du Marche St Honore which according to google maps is 850 meters from Galeries Lafayette. There are a few restaurants there. I ate at Cafe Bennett. There's also Fuxia, which has Italian cuisine. I ate at their location in les Batignolles and it was very good.

I always feel like a kid in a candy store when there is a wine dispenser! I've seen them in airports too!  |

I can also attest to Fuxia. Last Spring we also had dinner at the Les Batignolles location.

I love the thought of wine dispensers. Sort of like the Australian idea of drive thru beer stores.
All good for the traveling public.
