So yesterday we finally made it to a certain place in Paris that we've been trying to get to since 2010. Our first time in Paris that is.
The vegetarian/vegan scene in France is dismal. Paris and other large cities have some options but once you're out of them it goes down hill quickly.
In Paris there's an area called Le Marias. It's in the 4th arrondissement. It's the old Jewish quarter and still has Jewish people living there but it's more of a mix bag now. It's also home to the gay community and others.
In one street, Rue de Rosiers, you have a whole bunch of Jewish restaurants, bakeries, etc.
It's here you can get fallafel, Jewish style. It's a big thing and there's one place with the reputation of being the best, L'as du Fallafel or in English, Ace Fallafel.
We tried 5 times to go to this place! Partly due to our own mistake. They're not open on Saturdays. Also we hit a couple of times when they were closed due to a religious holiday.
Was it worth the wait?
Yes.
We both gave it as 8/10.
Thing to keep in mind if you're ever in Paris and want something like this. This particular place has long lines because of its reputation.
So they call this a fallafel sandwich.
