Hi all, myself and 3 friend are staying in Paris this weekend for one night. We%26#39;d like to see a few sites, but don%26#39;t want to be rushing around packing too much in. So far I think I have an itinerary for Sat, which is as follows:
arrive approx 10 am and take Metro to Cite. Visit the Notre Dame (whistle-stop visit) and Saint Chapelle, before grabbing some lunch and then an ice cream at Berthillon (depending on queues).
depart approx 2pm and head to Eiffel Tower for a quick photo opportunity, then catch metro to the Sacre Coeur to see the Basilica and views from the Dome.
At approx 5.30pm, head back to hotel (Garden Opera).
arrive hotel approx 6 pm, get ready and head out to dinner.
This is where I get stuck. Could anyone give some restaurant and bar recs either within walking distance of the Garden Opera hotel, or within an easy (10 minute) metro ride? Budget 20 euros a head for dinner (not fussy; will be happy with pizza etc); similar budget for a couple of drinks in a nice bar.
Then Sunday, the plan is to get up early, and grab a simple breakfast (coffee and croissant) locally; is this possible? Any recs?
The options for the Sunday itinerary are:
boat tour lasting one hour;
visit to Champs Elysees and Arc du Triomphe;
visit to a food market to get some bits, then a %26#39;picnic%26#39; style lunch in a park/somewhere scenic.
We need to head back to the Gare du Nord at approx 6pm to catch our train home to London.
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciate, particularly regarding places to eat and drink near our hotel, and also any food markets within a 30 minute metro ride.
Thanks!

You could be tight for time on day 1. San Chapelle will have a line (ticket and security) so it can take some time to get into. And you are criss crossing Paris a bit. Not sure if you were planning to go the Eiffel Tower, again that takes some time.
I can%26#39;t help on resturants but for breakfast there are cafes everywhere - you won%26#39;t have any trouble
