Vegetarian crepes or galettesRoast chicken with potatoesSeafood pasta or grilled fishMacarons, croissants, and hot chocolate

For South Indian comfort, keep Indian restaurants or groceries as the backup dinner plan after Eiffel/Seine walking; use goat curry only as a restaurant backup, not a tourist-area assumption.

Ask about beef stock in soups and pork in sandwiches, quiche, and charcuterie plates.

Exterior Eiffel photos and a simple bakery/cafe stop save time and money.

Alsace food to try

Vegetarian tarte flambee if availableAlsace pastriesCheese, bread, and simple saladsFish or chicken plates when available

Use Entzheim/Strasbourg as a rest chapter first. Colmar is for photos and a light snack, not a long lunch; Indian/Nepalese food near Strasbourg is the safer goat backup.

Classic tarte flambee often has bacon. Ask for vegetarian or skip it.

A bakery stop in Colmar saves time and keeps the Switzerland drive on schedule.
