We are going to Paris this weekend to celebrate 47th birthdays of my husband and his twin brother, ( 2 couples).My brother in law and his wife have never visited before and my husband and I have not visited together. We are staying at Hotel Vernet folllowing posts on Tripadvisor. I would be grateful for suggestions particularly restaurant recomendations. i would like something special for their birthday which is Mon and was considering dinner at Eiffel Tower and Moulin Rouge but not sure. General dinner budget of up to 50 - 80 euro each with increased budget for birthday.
I%26#39;d be grateful for your help. Also best area for individual shops as opposed to big department stores and chain stores.
Thank you very much

Hotel Vernet has a great restaurant called les Elysees du Vernet. Glass dome was built by Gustave Eiffel. There is music on some nights (ask).
You will not be able to get a table at Jules Verne at Eiffel Tower on such a short notice UNLESS they have cancelations. Call same day.
There is a good Brasserie with excellent seafood at the North/up (?) corner of rue Vernet.
The drugstore at the top of Champs Elysees is getting good reviews lately but I have not been.
Instead of Moulin Rouge, I would recommend the Crazy Horse which is closer to your hotel, has better shows and fewer busloads of tourists. The Lido is also closer to your hotel but more touristy than Crazy Horse.
For individual shops go to Marais (start at rue des Francs Bourgeois and move around) or to left bank starting at rue du Four, rue Bonaparte, rue de Seine and that general area. Even the Bon Marche has a boutiquy atmosphere with all the designers having a special area/booth.
