1. L'As du Fallafel — Le Marais (4th)
The most famous falafel in Paris, on the rue des Rosiers.
L'As du Fallafel is the landmark of the rue des Rosiers, the heart of the old Jewish quarter in the Marais. The pita is stuffed with falafel, fried eggplant, cabbage, hummus and tahini, and there's also shawarma and a sit-down dining room.
It's quick, cheap and filling, with a fast-moving takeaway queue. It's a meat (bassari) restaurant and closes for Shabbat. It suits a lunch stop while exploring the Marais.
Good to know: Get the 'spécial' falafel to take away and eat it on the street.
