A crowd queues at this sliver of a taqueria off the canal for Claudia and Alejandro’s tacos, burritos and quesadillas. There are only two stools in the tiny place, so plan on taking it to go.
“Pas comme les autres,” is the motto at kitschy cool Pink Flamingo Pizza, and they aren’t kidding. Yes, there’s a margherita (here called the “Dante”), but the “Ghandi” is topped with sag paneer and baba ghanoush; the “Che”, with Cuban roast pork and fried plantains. No word on whether the “Almodovar” includes a drop of Penelope Cruz’s blood. Take-out and delivery available at all locations.
This is no ordinary kebab joint: The bread at this Kurdish sandwich shop is made before your eyes, split and filled with lamb, beef, or chicken that’s been grilled to order, garnished simply with a few greens, red onion, sliced tomato and herbs.
A bare bones room lined with shelves of natural wines, a tiny kitchen turning out simple and dishes; this doesn’t immediately feel like the kind of place a person would cross town for. And yet if you score a table here you’ll be elbow to elbow with people who have done just that and are happily tucking into octopus carpaccio or boudin noir and consuming no small amount of wine.
Bob’s is the place to detox with fresh juices, veggie sandwiches on homemade bagels, soups and salads.
This bustling annex of Chez Michel offers hearty seasonal cooking and a heavy dose of old Paris charm. Open weekdays for lunch and dinner with menus at 22€ and 29€, and from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays with 25€, all-you-can-eat brunch.
This Breton bistrominique near the Gare du Nord serves a four-course feast featuring dishes that are baked in a massive dining room oven.
