This bustling Middle Eastern gem in the Marais serves up legendary falafels and shawarma amid a lively atmosphere—perfect for takeout or a quick bite.
"L'As du Fallafel is the city's most iconic falafel shop, offering giant pita stuffed with veggies, sauce, and falafel." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"You’ll have to stand in a long line of tourists to secure the famous (and famously overstuffed) pita sandwich from L'As du Fallafel, but your trip to Paris wouldn’t be complete without it—especially if you’re trying to maximize dining on a budget. The green storefront is situated in the Marais, the city’s cafe and bar-packed historic Jewish quarter. While there is some indoor seating, it’s minimal and a bit cramped, so takeout is the move. Instead of a platter, order a hand-held sandwich loaded with tender eggplant slices, shredded cabbage, and unforgettable falafel; you’ll appreciate being on the street as the tahini and red sauce ooze down your arms with each bite." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
