Non-mainstream ethnic restaurants in Paris
Can anyone recommend some unique cuisines that you've tried in Paris? Specifically, cuisines that are probably not available to many of us in the rural Midwest US.<BR><BR>Specifically, I'm thinking of Perisan, Corsican, Pakistani, Tibetan, Venezuelan, Kurdish, Seychellese and other ethnic types of foods.<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR>Jennifer

Dear Sue,<BR><BR>Thank-you for the recommendation. I'm always looking for a new unusual "Resto". We have an apartment just up the street and I'm sure I run by the "Coco de Mer" on my way to the Seine or the Promonde Plantée, but I've never noticed the place. <BR><BR>We will be back in Paris next month and I plan on checking out a lot of new restaurants. Unfortunately I have no idea what Seychellese is, could you please enlighten me, and maybe others who aren't familiar with this type of cuisine.<BR><BR>Merci en avance,<BR><BR>RJS

I noticed it among a list of recommended places to eat in Paris; it caught my eye b/c my daughter and her husband went to Seychelles on their honeymoon. I think you can probably find a "carte" for Coco de Mer if you check it out on search engine. The Seychelles are in Indian Ocean, off coast of Africa, above Madagascar. The islands once belonged to France; the culture is a blend of many different ones, and I imagine the food is the same, with emphasis on fish, etc.<BR>So I have never been to Sey. or Coco de Mer, but may try to eat there next week when I am in Paris!

Here are some that I recall although I did not dine at any of them. Should not be hard to find. All former French colonies: <BR>Moroccan, Tunisian, Madagascan, Cambodian, Vietnamese. <BR>Come to think of it however, I didn't see any African restaurants (e.g., Congolese, etc) but I am sure they must be there somewhere.
