I agree re Le Vaudeville, always good at a late hour; and you're right about dismal Indian choices in Paris. And forget about the Brazilian churrasco-and-pretty-girl joints! But for pretty authentic Mexican, try Anahuacalli in the 5th [I used to live in Mexico, it's one of the worlds' great cuisines, but almost never found outside Mexico]

A possible antidote to the crappy indian food problem

Saravana Bhavan: http://www.saravanabhavan.com/restaurants.php?cn=France&cy=Paris&rid=54

Their Paris branch just opened recently. Not checked it out yet but if it is as good as the New York and the Dubai ones, we have found the mecca of South Indian vegetarian dining.

Alec, we went to Le Vaudeville in...egad....'84 and liked it, but have not been back. You give us reason to return. What about Balzar You used to like it. Still For ethnic eating on rue Amelot, there is (or was in 2008) an Usbekistani restaurant that I thought was pretty good. Have you tried that A Tibetian restaurant on rue Amelot too, but nothing special there.

I'm hesitant to share this, lest it get out, but there is a decent Mexican place near the gare Montparnasse. It's called Casa Palenque, and it's on rue de l'arrivee. I had cochinita pibil, and the only thing that wasn't very good was the rice.
