L'As du Fallafel

¢, Israeli, Le Marais

User Rating: ***** 4.7

Fodor's Review:

Look no further than the fantastic falafel stands on the newly pedestrian rue de Rosiers for some of the cheapest and tastiest meals in Paris. L'As (the Ace) is widely considered the best of the bunch, which accounts for the lunchtime line that extends into the street. A falafel sandwich costs EUR 4, but shell out a little extra money for the spécial with grilled eggplant, cabbage, hummus, tahini, and hot sauce. The shawarma (grilled, skewered meat) sandwich, made with chicken or lamb, is also one of the finest in town. Though takeout is popular, it can be more fun (and not as messy) to eat off a plastic plate in one of the two frenzied dining rooms. The fresh lemonade is falafel's best match.

I dream about this falafel

3rd time to Paris and 3rd time getting this falafel. Almost too much for one person but I wouldn't share it because it's too good to share:-) I wouldn't dream of going to paris without getting one of these sandwiches!

Unbelievably good.

Huge falafels, low prices, and a ginormous burst of goodness with every bite. Do not wear a white shirt to this joint (ha ha, speaking from experience. It was Nuit Blanche, OK? I was being thematic). I gave it a 5 for atmosphere because this is a food made for wandering the Marais, not sitting in the dinky little dining room (plus it's cheaper to take away). Get the lemonade too and you're ready to go.

The most memorable meal in Paris

I lived in Paris ten years ago, where i became addicted to L'As Du Fallafel, and every time I go back, the first place I return to is this fallafel stand.
