  • David Lebovitz (2009) “…you can’t come to Paris and not have a fallafel at L’As du Fallafel. It just isn’t done.”
  • Dorie Greenspan (2009) “…the pita is very thick, which is just what it needs to be because what’s tucked into its pocket is heavy, wet and unruly.  And so delicious, too…”

    Just had my first one of these last week and it was as delicious as everyone says. The flavors of the “original” meld together so perfectly and we voted this our best meal of a week in Paris! I don’t just love standing while eating something messy, so we were happy to sit inside and it was just as much of an authentic experience as standing around with the masses in the street.

    I dream of L’As du Fallafel when I’m away – all American falafels have suffered from comparison so far. The marinated eggplant just puts it over the top for me. The long lines at the order window are meaningful – and they have it down to such a good system that even the longest line only takes a few minutes of waiting. I’ve found that service inside and out is friendly and efficient. It will be my first meal stop when I hit Paris this fall. Hmmm…think they’re open for breakfast??

    Most filling meal in Paris for only 5 euros 50. Hands down the best falafel I have ever had.
