The Best Street Food in Paris: Our Favorite Spots For a Cheap Bite

Last Updated on January 11, 2024

Growing up in a Los Angeles suburb well before the era of hipster food trucks, street food wasn’t much of a thing, especially since you rarely left the car to use your feet. Aside from the thirst-quenching Mexican paletas (popsicles) made from real watermelon or strawberry that I bought as a kid from vendors pushing white carts along scorching sidewalks, noshing on something delicious while ambling around simply wasn’t a ritual in my home town.

So when I first moved to Paris, I was surprised at how frequently I observed people huddled around street corners, casually ambling or perched on park benches– and gobbling down anything from crepes and bakery sandwiches to falafel and Vietnamese spring rolls.

It’s not just the tourists, either: despite the decidedly French– and often vocal– disdain for “le snacking” (eating outside of “normal” meal times), Parisians are increasingly gaga about street food.

It’s finally being recognized as a valid culinary category in its own right, where in the past French people often viewed it as something that unfortunate office workers with too-short lunch breaks had to endure, deprived of a proper meal and forced to eat sur la pouce (literally, “on the thumb”, or in a rush).

In what follows, we share some of our favorite spots for a cheap and casual bite– perfect alternatives to avoid spending a fortune on a sit-down meal.

They also make great quick meals when you’re roaming the city and can’t be bothered to take the time for a more formal lunch or dinner– or for easy, spontaneous picnics.

Falafel Heaven On Rue des Rosiers

L'As du Fallafel claims to be the best in Paris-- and I find that it's earned these bragging rights.

This is one street food ritual in Paris that’s been running strong for years, well before “foodie” culture took hold– and it happens to remain my tried and true.

Of course, I’m not at all original in my steady love for the remarkably delicious, distinctive falafel served at a string of restaurants on Rue des Rosiers, in the heart of the old pletzl (Jewish Quarter) .

The Israeli-style pita sandwiches served at L’As du Fallafel manage to combine a pleasing crunch (from cucumbers, deep-fried chickpea balls and chopped purple cabbage) with a soft, warm, oily goodness (think thick pita, melting slices of fried eggplant, and a slathering of creamy tahini dressing).

The combined effect is purely addictive, even if handling the overflowing pita often results in unsavory accidents and dribblings of tahini down your coat.

Address: 34, rue des Rosiers, 4th arrondissement
Metro: St-Paul

Other Falafel Restaurants We Like

Some of the other falafel joints on Rue des Rosiers are almost just as good– I especially love Chez H’Annah (at number 54). When I’m craving more raw vegetables and less greasy sauce, I beeline there, as their sandwiches are chock full of shredded carrots and cabbage, and somehow seem a bit healthier.

The lines are generally shorter here than at L’As, too. Chez Marianne, meanwhile, ( 2 Rue des Hospitalières Saint-Gervais, at the corner of Rue des Rosiers) is best for eating in: I find their take-out pitas degrees less delicious and satisfying than the ones served elsewhere on the street.

See more of our picks for the best falafel in Paris — including suggestions on where to find excellent Lebanese-style versions of the sandwich.

The falafel ritual in a nutshell (er, pita):

There’s no hard and fast rule for how to eat your falafel. I generally try to delicately eat some of the fillings with the aid of a fork before consuming the rest like a traditional sandwich, thus avoiding the aforementioned spillages.

You can either eat right outside the restaurant, or carefully transport your goods to a nearby park or square ( Place des Vosges is a great place for a casual picnic).

Yiddish bakeries in the area

Also make sure to check out the traditional Yiddish bakeries lining Rue des Rosiers, selling delectable traditional breads, cakes, and savoury lunch items typical of Eastern European Jewish cuisine. Korcarz is my reigning favorite (29, Rue des Rosiers).

Man’Ouché: For Lebanese Pizza and Other Goodies

A hand-made Lebanese pizza is made at Man' Ouché, a take-out stand near the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

Coming in a close second to falafel from Rue des Rosiers are fresh Lebanese pizzas from Man’Ouché , a small stand situated in the city center, a block away from the Centre Georges Pompidou . Made by hand on a hot, dome-shaped griddle, these large flatbreads are meal-sized versions of the smaller ones served in most Lebanese eateries.

Traditionally smothered with a layer of za’atar , a distinctively aromatic seasoning made by crushing sesame seeds, sumac, thyme and other herbs and blending with olive oil, other common toppings include Lebanese cheese, fresh mint leaves, black olives and shredded meat.

The handmade, doughy flatbread is rolled into a wrap with your desired ingredients and then encased in foil to keep it warm and melty– perfect for strolling around and nibbling, or settling to sit (as per my own tradition) on the enormous, sloping plaza overlooking the Pompidou.

Just watch out for the pigeons– they love the stuff too, and certainly aren’t shy about trying to steal your food.

The flatbread pizza is served as a wrap at Man' Ouche.

Man’ouché’s menu also includes falafel wraps, kebab and a variety of other Lebanese specialties for takeaway. The quality, in our experience, is excellent.

Address: 62 rue Rambuteau, 3rd arrondissement
Metro: Rambuteau or Les Halles

The Crepes (Savory Galettes ) From Breizh Cafe

There are countless crepe stands and restaurants in Paris, but not all are good: lower-quality vendors prepare a heaping pile of crepes in advance, then reheat them, making for a gummy and less-than-fresh tasting pancake.

When looking for crepes (sweet pancakes filled with jam, nutella, sugar, lemon or other dessert fillings) or galettes (Breton-style pancakes made from a nutty, hearty buckwheat flour and topped with savory ingredients such as cheese and egg), make sure you choose vendors who pour the batter onto the crepe pan right in front of you. Also verify that the ingredients look reasonably fresh.

Our favorite creperies in Paris offering take-out crepes and galettes include Breizh Cafe ( 111, rue Vieille du Temple , Metro Hotel de Ville) , long-renowned by foodies and now adored by locals as well.

While it can be very difficult to get a table at the sit-down restaurant, especially on weekends, the adjoining epicerie/grocery mercifully sells them to go.

With their focus on fresh regional ingredients and delicious, inventive fillings (their “Bretonne” savoury galette is a favorite, combining mushrooms, cheese, poached egg, smoked ham, creme fraiche and Basque Espelette pepper), Breizh has never disappointed me, despite being rather picky about crepes.

As a (mostly) vegetarian, my favorite savory galette there features sliced and grilled zucchini, egg, tomato, cheese and spinach. For dessert, their apple and salted butter caramel crepe is equally divine.

Heading across the Seine to the left bank, another takeaway stand I like is L’Avant-Comptoir in the Latin Quarter/St-Germain district (3, carrefour de l’odeon, Metro: Odeon) .

This is a no-nonsense but consistently good option for a crepe or galette before or following a night of drinks in the Quartier Latin, or a show at a nearby theatre.

Le Food Market in Belleville

This recently conceived pop-up market in my beloved long-time neighborhood of Belleville runs two times a month, and sees 20 food vendors set up shop to serve everything from tacos and gourmet burgers to Vietnamese Pho and Moroccan tajines, as well as French specialties like moules-frites .

Main dishes will set you back less than 10 Euros each, and if you’re lucky you’ll snag a seat and one of the large tables, making for a convivial (and remarkably cheap) evening out.

Le Food Market – Ménilmontant to Couronnes

When: Every second Thursday of the month, from 8:00 to 10:30 pm. See this page for forthcoming dates.
Metro: Ménilmontant or Couronnes (along Boulevard de Belleville/Boulevard de Menilmontant), 20th arrondissement

Gourmet Grilled Cheese & Other Sandwiches from Fric-Frac

I discovered Fric-Frac on a gourmet food tour with Eating Europe , and it’s now one of my favorite places along the Canal St-Martin for a quick bite. Their specialty are croques-monsieurs, t raditional French grilled sandwiches with cheese, béchamel sauce and ham.

Luckily, they also have several options for vegetarians, including a delicious sandwich filled with avocado, tomatoes, pine nuts, asparagus, basil, mint and green-pea pesto.

Address: 79 Quai de Valmy, 75010 Paris
Metro: République or Jacques-Bonsergent

The Gelato From Pozzetto

Especially in the summer when temperatures soar, there’s little more satisfying than a cup or cone of creamy ice cream or thirst-quenching sorbet. One of my very favorite places for a cold treat is Pozzetto, a gelateria in the Marais that makes small-batch gelatos with intense, true-to-life flavors onsite. While they offer a variety of intensely fruity, refreshing sorbets (think lemon or fragola (strawberry) I mostly go for their densely creamy milk-based gelatos.

The pistachio flavor at Pozzetto is rich, nutty and has nothing of the sickly green hues or artificial flavors of more industrial counterparts. Meanwhile, try the gianduja (chocolate-hazelnut) if, like me, you can’t get enough of that particular combination of flavors.

Address: 39 Rue du Roi de Sicile, 75004
Metro: St-Paul or Hotel de Ville

For more places to head in the summer months, see my full guide to the 5 best places for ice cream and gelato in Paris .

These glaciers (ice-cream makers/vendors) proffer treats that are full of intense, natural flavor, aren’t made with preservatives or artificial flavors and certainly don’t sit around to get freezer burned in past-expiration-date tubs.

Bành mí from Nonette Bành Mí & Donuts

The Vietnamese community in Paris is vibrant and diverse. While the 13th arrondissement may be home to the highest number of Vietnamese eateries in the city, you can find them all over Paris. Nonette Bành Mí & Donuts is a relative newcomer, opened in 2021. Their menu is simple, and everything is designed to be eaten on the go.

Their Bành Mí – a fusion dish with origins in the mid-19th century, when Vietnam fell under French colonial rule – are crafted around five basic elements which the team claim build “flavor layers”: fat, pickles, fresh herbs, protein, and seasoning. Their meats are 100% locally sourced, their siracha, mayo, and pickles are all made in house, and the artisanal baguettes are freshly baked each day.

For just a few Euros you can feast on a main course of bành mí, dessert in the form of a donut that beautifully fuses French-Asian flavors– like the ‘Kaya’, filled with pandan and coconut milk– and a drink. For me, the vegan bành mí rivals all of the meat options; crammed with flavor, Cà tím chiên consists of wok-fried eggplant cooked in black vinegar, garlic and ginger, and comes with crispy tofu and garlic mayo.

Address : 71 Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 75011
Metro: Couronnes or Ménilmontant

The Asian Pastries from Patisserie de Choisy

Also in the 13th arrondissement (it is well worth a visit), head to Patisserie de Choisy, which boasts incredible Chinese-Vietnamese sweet and savory pastries. Each pastry costs just a couple of euros (at the time of writing), and there are loads to choose from.

Real highlights include the Bành bao, filled with roasted and honey-glazed pork, piping hot taro and pork beignets, and baked brioche rolls stuffed with durian custard.

Address: 62 Av. de Choisy, 75013 Paris
Metro: Maison Blanche or Porte de Choisy

Southeast Asian Crepes from Beng Beng

Head north to the 20th arrondissement and discover another of my favorite Southeast Asian street food restaurants, Beng Beng. The self-proclaimed “crêperie of Southeast Asia”, Beng Beng specializes in three types of pancakes: Bành Xeo (a crispy rice pancake from Vietman), Roti Canai (a Malaysian pancake prepared with ghee and wheat flour), and Jian Bing (a Taiwanese pancake made with soy flour and egg).

Wrapped in foil, it’s a portable and tasty light lunch, best enjoyed wandering by neighboring Canal St Martin. The fillings for the pancakes are vibrant and fresh, all topped with zesty homemade slaws and pickles.

Address: 23 Rue Louis Blanc, 75010 Paris
Metro: Louis Blanc

Roman-style pizza slices from Delitaly

In 2021 The New York Times declared Paris to be the best city (outside Italy) for Italian food, and we can’t help but agree. There are over 50,000 Italians living in the Paris region, so it’s not too hard to find a slice of la dolce vita here.

The Roman-style pizza from the Italian épicerie Delitaly is sold by the slice, making it an ideal midday snack. It has a crispy, thin base which is perfectly portable, and comes topped with the best of traditional Italian combinations. My favorite’s the white pizza topped with thinly sliced potatoes, then sprinkled with sea salt and rosemary.

Address: 12 Rue de Bretagne, 75003
Metro: Filles du Calvaire or Oberkampf

Neapolitan-style pizza from Faggio & Frittza

For something a bit more filling, Faggio offers one of the best Neapolitan pizzas in Paris.

There are two branches in the city, but the one on Rue Marguerite in the 9th arrondissement is less than a 10-minute walk away from Square Louise Michel near the Sacré Coeur in Montmartre, a great spot to enjoy a pizza and some people-watching in the warmer months.

The products at Faggio (Italian for the beech wood that fires their oven) are well sourced from quality farms, and the toppings shift according to the seasons.

Alternatively, if you really want to push the boat out, the newly opened Frittza in the 11th arrondissement specializes in the Neapolitan street food called pizza fritta: yes – fried pizza! It might sound heavy, but good pizza fritta should be light and crispy, something the team at Frittza nail every time. There are plenty of veggie options, and the lunchtime deals on a small pizza fritta and drink are excellent.

Address: 72 Rue Marguerite de Rochechouart, 75009
Metro: Anvers or Barbès – Rochechouart

Shisho Burger: for its adventurous fusion cooking

Shisho specializes in burgers asiatiques (Asian burgers): a fusion dish of traditional American hamburger fillings sandwiched between Chinese-style bao buns. There are two branches: one in the 5th arrondissement and one in the 3rd, but for its close proximity to the Seine River and the Latin Quarter, the branch in the 5th is an ideal spot if you fancy a scenic stroll while enjoying your food.

Don’t be nervous about eating this burger on the go: the soft and light (never doughy) bao bun, held tightly in brown paper packaging, is easy to eat, and they’re so “more-ish” you’ll probably polish it off in three bites.

Fillings include everything from the meat-heavy Bulgogi burger (their bestseller) complete with marinated Angus beef, melting cheddar cheese and teriyaki sauce, to veggie-friendly numbers like their fried tofu and eggplant-filled bao bun, drizzled in homemade spicy mayo.

Address: 21 Quai Saint-Michel, 75005
Metro: Cité

Dumbo: For more traditional burgers

For a more traditional burger, I highly recommend Dumbo , which specializes in ‘smash burgers’ (so-called because they’re flattened on the grill to create a crispy outer crust while maintaining a juicy center). The menu is brief and includes only three options, but all the burgers are superbly executed – hot, flavorsome, and not overly greasy.

Meanwhile, for more American-style fare, Michelin-starred chef Gregory Marchand’s latest venture, a high-end takeout eatery called Frenchie To Go , offers elevated classics such as brioche-bun hot dogs and Reuben sandwiches on homemade rye bread.

Address : 64 Rue Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, 75009
Metro: Pigalle

Boneshaker Donuts and a few more on-the-go desserts

Most traditional Parisian sweet treats are not designed to be eaten in transit — and I say this as someone who once attempted (and failed!) to enjoy a Paris Brest pastry on a busy metro. Thankfully, there are a number of spots in the city that offer tasty desserts designed to be enjoyed on the move.

Enter Boneshaker Donuts, a donut shop with a distinctively Parisian flair. Using a combination of traditional American and French pastry techniques, the flavors at Boneshaker are dictated by the seasons, and – good news for those avoiding dairy products – they’re also entirely vegan. The best donut I’ve had from the place was a perfectly balanced peach and basil affair, but whichever you opt for, you can’t really go wrong.

Address: 86 Rue d’Aboukir, 75002
Metro: Sentier or Bourse

Other great street food desserts include the fleur de sel cookies at popular brunch spot Gramme (the coffee here is brilliant too, an ideal accompaniment to your cookie), as well as the individual babka rolls from Babka Zana (65 Rue Condorcet, 9th arrondissement), which has outlets in both South Pigalle and the Marais. Their halva and lemon zest flavor makes for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up!

Finally, if you care for something a little more traditional, go native and order a slice of flan — the only pâtisserie you’ll ever see Parisians eating on the sidewalk. With a robust crust and set custard center, it’s mess-free and comforting in its simplicity. My favorite is the flan nature (plain flan) at Pain Pain ( 88 Rue des Martyrs, 9th arrondissement).

More Fantastic Street Food in Paris

While the places and goodies covered here are my long-time favorites, plenty of trendy new food trucks and creative little eateries are offering decent to excellent street food these days in the capital.

Glad you enjoyed the article! I have been a fan of L’as since moving to Paris many years ago, but also think others on the street make delicious food too. Chez Marianne is definitely the nicest place for eating in, I’d say, followed by Chez H’annah.

Delicious article. My mouth is watering with memories of the Falafel I shared with my sister and niece at L’As. And now, I’m the middle of the night, I want to make crepes!

Once upon a time, a foray in the French capital wasn’t complete without scoffing a sweet crêpe on a street corner in St-Germain des Prés , eye-balling Notre Dame ’s grimacing gargoyles over silky slurps of Berthillon ice cream and standing in line for falafel from L’As du Fallafel . Throw in a buckwheat galette, Moroccan couscous or steaming bowl of Chinese noodles for lunch from Marché des Enfants Rouges – the city’s oldest covered market, in the street-eats biz since 1615 – and you were practically Parisian.

Contemporary street food in Paris travels taste buds a million miles beyond these faithful old-timers. Current culinary trends place local, seasonal, organic produce on a sky-high pedestal and have morphed ‘ la street food ’ into a movement against ‘ la malbouffe ’ – a French phrase for junk food. The trick to tracking down the finest street eats crafted by experimental chefs with skill, sass and sustainable care? Follow the local street-smart crowd to these new-gen foodie favorites.

Les sandwiches: savory and plant-forward

Plan d – dwich & glace.

Urban vegans can’t get enough of this increasingly cult, plant-based sandwich shop by Canal St-Martin. Each dwich is jumbo-sized, with two chunks of succulent olive-oil bread toasted and stuffed with seasonal produce and ingredients. Veggies run the gamut of cooking styles, from raw or charred, to pickled, mashed and marinated, and the smoked sauce is addictive. Grab an ice-cream sundae for dessert, a bottle of fruity pale ale brewed by BapBap in the ‘hood, and lunch like a king on the alfresco banks of the green-hued canal.

Handy pit stop: in between street art discoveries or a bike ride along Canal St-Martin .

La Baguette du Relais

Purists seeking a fix of Parisian steak-frites (steak and fries) need not despair. Head to Le Marais where La Baguette du Relais doles out wedges of crispy baguette filled with tender sirloin steak, a herby sauce whipped up according to a secret recipe and perfectly crisp, skinny fries. The concept might sound hideously ‘un-French’, but anyone familiar with the 1950s brasserie behind this recent street-food venture – Le Relais de l’Entrecôte, famous for serving everyone the same salad-steak-and-chips meal – will instantly understand the allure. Pick from regular, gluten-free or charcoal bread and know how you like your steak cooked: saignant (rare) in France is very pink and à point (medium) is akin to medium-rare or even rare by American and British standards.

Handy pit stop: after Notre Dame and the islands, Mémorial de la Shoah and Centre Pompidou or a boat tour on the Seine.

Discover the Louvre's hidden treasure in this lesser-visited wing

Crêpes: where to find the most authentic in Paris

Crêperie de st-germain .

Authentic street stands are like gold dust, but scoffing a crêpe in the street – laced with warm Nutella chocolate spread and banana slices perhaps or uber-sweet crème de marron (chestnut cream) – remains one of Parisian life’s simple pleasures. Join the eternal queue at Crêperie de St-Germain , a retro racing-green kiosk by Église St-Germain des Près where large thin pancakes have been served to a faithful crowd for decades.

Handy pit stop: after Île de la Cité’s Sainte Chapelle , splendid unsung museums Musée Eugène Delacroix and Musée Maillol or during a DIY walking tour of literary St-Germain des Près.

L’Épicerie du Breizh Café

Authentic Breton crêpes to take-away are the order of the day at this specialist Breton grocery run by the neighboring Breizh Café . Order a savory galette made with organic buckwheat flour and your choice of fillings, and eat it in the small park across the street. Sweet crêpes too, doused in salted-butter caramel and a bevy of other killer-calorie toppings.

Handy pit stop: after the treasured Musée National Picasso or on a Marais shopping spree.

Where to stay in Paris

Buns & dumplings: go to this takeaway window near the Louvre

Vegetarians and carnivores alike enter seventh heaven at this trendy neo-Shanghai canteen on Canal St-Martin. Takeaway dishes cooked up by Paris-born Chinese chef Céline Chung at the achingly cool, waterside joint include veggie-stuffed buns and wontons, rice and noodle dishes and deep-fried tofu with a killer homemade garlic sauce. Begin with crispy-fried, cumin-dusted oyster mushrooms from the super-local underground urban farm La Caverne in the 18e arrondissement.

Handy pit stop: during a Canal St-Martin bar crawl or chill Sunday stroll when brunch at noon beckons.

Boutique Yam’tcha

In the Louvre area, dig into succulent baos (Chinese steamed buns) to go from the takeaway window at the upmarket boutique of Michelin-starred chef Adeline Grattard from fine-dining restaurant Yam'Tcha . Unusual flavors include Stilton cheese with Amarena cherries, onions and curry, or Basque pork with Sichuanese eggplant. Wash them down with aromatic green or oolong tea on a bench in elegant Jardin du Palais Royal or between voluptuous statues on the romantic pea-green lawns of Jardin des Tuileries . If a Full Monty Chinese banquet appeals, grab one to take away from Yam’Tcha’s nearby cafe Lai’Tcha .

Handy pit stop: for lunch in the park after hobnobbing with Mona Lisa at the Louvre and/or Monet at Musée de l’Orangerie .

Things you should know before traveling to Paris

The best Paris pâtisseries that are worth the wait

Cédric grolet opéra .

Queues stretch down the street for world-renowned pastry chef Cédric Grolet's elaborate creations at his same-name boulangerie-pâtisserie , many of which resemble floral blooms almost too good to eat. Sit in or take away exquisite viennoiserie (pastries), magnificent filled still-warm baguettes and signature cakes aka edible works of art. Gastronomes won’t be disappointed by the unmatched caramel-and-Tahitian-vanilla St-Honoré or Paris-Brest.

Handy pit stop: a decadent bite between fashion-boutique shopping in the Champs-Élysées and Grands Boulevards district.

An elegant mint-green box of seasonally flavored macarons from Ladurée or a flamboyantly filled éclair from a Chrisophe Adam L’Éclair de Génie boutiques is a Parisian rite of passage. For something more grassroots and experimental, pop into the seductive cake shop of Michelin-starred chefs from neighboring Septime and Clemato . From creamy egg tarts and seasonal fruit flans to sinful maple syrup tartlets, everything at Tapisserie is artisanal and insanely fresh – a sign in the window tells you what time to expect what hot from the oven.

Rumor has it Baby Love Burger in the 11e dishes up the most authentic burgers in town. Certainly the ethically-farmed beef, twice-fried frîtes (fries) and Real McCoy, British cheddar cheese in a bun pack a serious gourmet punch – as does the Pop-styled interior with cherry-red linoleum and house motto ‘No panini, no wrap, no crêpe!’ lit up in neon. Monster-sized triple burgers, a tasty veggie version and crispy fried chicken flesh out the no-messing menu.

Handy pit-stop: after a mooch around the Belleville market or between drinks on a Ménilmontant bar crawl.

Deli picnics: the best takeaway to get away

Back in the new millennium, Thomas Lehoux introduced Paris to decent coffee by co-founding an artisan roastery in backstage Belleville. The visionary barista and epicurean is now injecting serious doses of panache into street food with his gourmet épicerie (delicatessen) in the 11e. Everything on his market-fueled menu – two starters, two mains and two sandwiches, different each week – can be taken away as a deli picnic. Every course has a vegetarian option: young goat’s cheese marinated in Provencal herbs and zaatar perhaps, Hokkaido pumpkin brioche with grilled leeks and mushrooms, a goat’s cheese sandwich with beetroot cream, roasted hazelnuts, apple and watercress.

Handy pit-stop: after a digital light show at Atelier des Lumières or cemetery stroll around Père Lachaise .

Dip into the soul food of multicultural Paris with a lavish picnic of takeaway dishes from this deli-diner by Lebanese food activist Kamal Mouzawak. The Lebanese buffet served at his hybrid épicerie-restaurant screams ‘cuisine maison’ (home cooking) and celebrates regional farmer kitchens. Each day showcases dishes from a different part of Lebanon – green bean moutabbal (dip) or spinach and grilled walnut salad from the north, tabbouleh and stuffed cabbage much-loved in the mountains, warak enab atee (stuffed vine leaves) from the Beqaa wine region.

Handy pit-stop: when exploring hipster Canal St-Martin – there really are few lovelier spots in Paris for a waterside picnic.

Donuts from a street stall in Paris, France

The best donuts: small batch wonders

Bite into an explosive French-Fusion combo at Nonette . Female Franco-Vietnamese chef Khánh-ly Huynh and Pearlyn Lee from neighboring Asian-styled coffee shop, The Hood , craft bánh mì (sandwiches) bursting with creative Asian-French fusion fillings such as spicy turkey pastrami with liver pâté, pickled daikon, carrots and coriander.

But it is their cardboard boxes of sugar-dusted or -glazed donuts to take away that are the icing on the cake: the moreish balls of deep-fried dough overflow on first bite with homemade cream in ‘classic or ‘unapologetically Asian’ flavors (kaya, spicy mango, durian, passion fruit, sweet-and-sour pork floss). Wash them down with a fresh coconut, golden milk latte or bubble tea to go.

Handy pit-stop: during a shopping spree in the fashionable Haut-Marais or at the open-air Marché Bastille on Thursday and Sunday mornings.

Boneshaker Donuts

May-time’s sour rhubarb even manages to sneaks its way into the seasonally filled donuts at Boneshaker in the foodie 2e. What began as American pastry chef Amanda home-frying donuts to fuel the city’s burgeoning coffee-shop scene has now blossomed into a small-batch donut-and-coffee shop. Donuts mix French pastry know-how and American sass to ensure a menu rooted firmly in Paris: vanilla, chocolate and caramel beurre salé (salted butter caramel) alongside wild cards like Fluffernutter (peanut butter cream, marshmallow glaze and peanute brittle), banana cream pie and summer berry crumble.

Handy pit-stop: after a morning at Europe’s oldest science and technology museum , the Centre Pompidou , Bourse de Commerce Pinault Collection or the Louvre .

Best French Street Food Spots in Paris

The covered market of saint-martin.

Nestled in the heart of Paris, not far from the Place de la Républic, this is one of the last few closed markets of Paris, where locals and tourists alike visit for gourmet experiences. It is a perfect stopover for travellers wanting to recharge themselves during the discovery of Paris . This French street food haven is easy to locate thanks to its name stamped across the white-coloured stone archway. If you are craving some fresh seafood, then head to “Les Viviers de Noirmoutier” and feast on a seafood platter of crabs, langoustines, prawns and oysters. If you want to grab a quick bite, then head to “Le Réfectoire”, an open counter where you can gorge on some delicious juicy burgers and French-style hot dogs. Later, you can either wash down your food with some wine at Laurent Bouvet- cheese and wine shop or chug some beer at Des Tante- Emma-Läden- German grocery store and caterer. Opening Hours: Tuesday -Saturday 9am-8pm, Sun 9am-2pm, 31 rue du Château d’Eau, 75010

Rue des Rosiers

This French street food spot in the Marais area, within walking distance from Georges Pompidou , used to be an important artery for Jewish community. The rose bushes after which the street was named are gone, but the middle-eastern inspired food and cobblestoned streets take us back to that era. If you have a jam-packed schedule and want a quick bite, then try the falafel and shawarma sandwiches (vegetarian options available). L’As du Falafel is one of the most famous stalls with sandwiches exploding with fillings and sauces. Chez Marianne, another stall right around the corner, known for its deep-friend falafels, is a big hit with locals, especially with young students. Another hotspot for street food is Sacha Finkelsztajn (the yellow façade is hard to miss!), a Jewish caterer and bakery that specializes in apple strudel, latkes and classic Yiddish sandwiches. If the weather permits, then you could either go to the Place Jardin des Rosiers-Joseph Migneret or the Place des Vosges for some quiet time to enjoy your meal. Opening Hours: Varies according to the day of the week and the stall you want to visit

Marché des Enfants Rouges

If you are renting an apartment or staying in a hotel in the 3rd arrondissement , then you can stock your fridge with some local produce or go for a brunch here. This French street food market takes its name from red-coloured capes (colour of Christian charity for centuries) that were once worn by orphaned children housed in a former hospice. Today, all that remains of the hospital is the oldest food market where travellers take a break from the traditional French dining fanfare. We recommend you to start your visit at Alain Miam Miam's with his vegetarian and non-vegetarian crêpes, served in the form of a bouquet. L'Estaminet is another food stall popular with locals for its seasonal specialities- cold cuts from Auvergne, a selection of regional cheeses accompanied by a glass of wine from small wine domains. If you have a sweet tooth, then head to “La Petite Fabrique” for some gourmet cookies, raspberry tarts topped with candied fruits or chocolate mousse layered with pistachio, berries and pecans. Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday: 8.30am-7.30pm; Sunday: 8.30am-2pm, 39 rue de Bretagne - 75003 Paris

The Covered Market of Saint-Quentin

Within walking distance from Gare du Nord, this closed market (recognizable by its green cast-iron arches) is a perfect layover for travellers before boarding their train. From South America, Europe to Africa, travellers can experience here international cuisines under one roof. As you enter this French food street enclave, you go could go straight to Alegria Brasil, a popular joint with the Brazilian expats. This pocket-sized kitchen, inspired by the taverns of Rio, serves some of the best feijoada (a national dish of Brazil) in Paris. If you are in the mood for African cuisine (External link) , then you can either head to “La Marrakech”, a Moroccan stall known for its wide selection of tagines (lemon chicken is especially good here!) or you can head to “Oh Africa” for some Yassa chicken, a mouth-watering Senegalese speciality and vegetarian sambusas. If you want to stick to eating something closer to home (European for the moment), then go to Chez Silvana for some spicy stuffed calamari, suckling pig or prawns flambéed in whisky. Opening Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 8 am-8 pm, Sunday 8 am-1.30 pm, 85 bis Boulevard Magenta, 75010

Avenue de France

Only a true foodie would venture this far from the city centre to taste some of the finest French street food. This spacious road running parallel to the river Seine, within walking distance from the Gare D’Austerlitz, is unlike any other landscape in Paris (External link) . In the last couple of decades, new offices, cultural centres and residential areas have sprung up, facilitating the emergence of the food truck culture. “Le Camion qui fume” was amongst the first to launch a food truck in Paris and was an instant hit with the locals. This food truck is literally on wheels, making rounds of Paris every day, serving some lip-smacking burgers, French fries and onion rings. “Le Brigade” is another food truck that serves the most succulent, perfectly cooked meat (the duck à la orange is really good!) accompanied with a generous dollop of sauces. If you want to experiment with your taste buds, then you should definitely make a beeline for the New Soul Food, known for its hybrid food (chargrilled chicken and fish) with flavours inspired by African, Caribbean and European cuisine. Opening Hours: Varies according to the day of the week and the stall you want to visit

Recently updated on August 13th, 2023 at 09:22 am

Paris – the city of love, city of lights, and, most importantly, the city of great street food. Between eating the perfect croissant while people watching in a park, to strolling the Seine by night with a sweet crêpe in hand, Paris is loaded with classic foodie experiences that you can indulge in any time of day. Work up an appetite while wandering the romantic cobbled streets of Paris and use this street food guide to steer you to the best pastisseries, Parisian markets and snack bars in the French capital.

Best pastry shops, boulangeries and pâtisseries in Paris

You might be under the impression that all French croissants are made the artisan way – but in fact there are huge factory lines mass producing the flaky pastry for bakery chains and supermarkets. If you’ve gone all the way to Paris, you owe it to yourself to seek out an authentic artisanal boulangerie. One that produces fresh, crunchy croissants by hand from scratch each day.

World-renowned pastry chef Cédric Grolet crafts edible art at his self-named boulangerie-pâtisserie, alongside fresh baguettes and artisanal pastries. If you don’t have time to queue there, try Tapisserie, a bakery from the Michelin-starred chefs behind Septime and Clamato, or visit Stohrer, Paris’s oldest boulangerie that opened in 1730 on foodie Rue Montorgueil.

Croque Monsieur

Ooh la la, is there anything more French than a croque monsieur? The name literally translate to “crunchy mister” and this very French, very traditional toasted sandwich is loaded with cheese, béchamel sauce and ham. The best spot to try it is Fric-Frac along the Canal St-Martin, and the sandwich shop also has vegetarian options.

Parisian Markets

One of the great joys of local life in Paris is the many local produce and street food markets that pop up in neighbourhoods throughout the week. Of course, if you can’t chase the changing timetable, drop into Marché des Enfants Rouges, the city’s oldest covered market. Since 1615 this markethall has been a Parisian local’s go-to for food. Beyond produce and pastries, here you can find Japanese bento boxes, Moroccan tajines and Caribbean street eats.

Like London, New York and other great global cities, Paris is a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. With these migrants comes delicious street food and over time dishes like falafel have become as Parisian as butter. A Paris favourite since 1979 is L’as du Fallafel near the Eiffel Towe. Line up and order Israeli-style pita sandwiches loaded with falafel, cucumber, purple cabbage, fried eggplant, and creamy tahini.

Parisian tapas

After exploring local life and history in the Latin Quarter with a Local Specialist on Trafalgar’s Wonderful France tour, you’ll no doubt have worked up an appetite. Pop over to Avant Comptoir de la Terre, a long bar that’s perfect for a casual snack and glass of wine on the go. The ceiling is covered in menu cards with pictures to choose from. Pick a few Parisian snack plates and enjoy gourmet delights such as charcuterie, grilled duck hearts, oysters and pork terrine.

Baguette sandwich

Love steak frites (steak and fries), but want it on the go? La Baguette du Relais is the street food sandwich bar connected to a classic 1950s Parisian brasserie. Here they load the same tender sirloin steak into a crunchy baguette along with a herby sauce and skinny fries. Choose how you like your steak cooked and whether you want regular, gluten-free or charcoal bread. This is the perfect quick lunch to enjoy after exploring Notre Dame or the Centre Pompidou.

Sweet crêpe stalls

A romantic evening stroll along the Seine can only be improved with a decadently sweet Nutella-filled or lemon sugar French crêpe. Unlike other Paris street food, crêpe stalls are fairly reliable for quality. Look for stalls that pour the batter fresh before your eyes and cook the crepes while you wait. If you always like to visit the most famous spot, seek out the green kiosk of Crêperie de St-Germain where you join the never-ending queue.

Savoury buckwheat galette

If you’ve never tried a savoury bucket crêpe or galette, there’s no better place than Paris. A galette is the lesser-known Breton cousin to the sweet crêpe. It’s made with naturally gluten-free buckwheat flour and your choice of fillings, from ham and cheese to mushrooms and cream. One of the best spots is L’Épicerie du Breizh Café, a specialist Breton grocery store neighbouring a busy crepe cafe. Instead of waiting for a table next door, grab a takeaway galette to enjoy in the nearby park. From here you can continue shopping through the Marais neighbourhood.

Going home with a decorative mint-green box of seasonal macarons from Ladurée is a Parisian essential. Visit a Ladurée cafe to live the Belle Epoque life and enjoy coffee with a couple of sweet macarons. The hardest part will be choosing the flavours – from pistachio to rosewater and raspberry. Take home an assorted box to share with family and friends (or indulge yourself to keep the holiday vibe going).

The 10 Best Restaurants Near the Eiffel Tower in 2024

Brandon Shaw Last Updated: October 29, 2023

Scaling the Eiffel Tower can burn a lot of energy. When you’re done you’ll be searching for a great restaurant in this otherwise touristy area. Finding a good place to eat nearby can be a challenge. Luckily, we know all the best French restaurants near the Eiffel Tower.

Pro Tip: This article will come in handy when you finish an Eiffel Tower tour in Paris . Bookmark it in your chrome browser so you can quickly circle back to it on the go. Also, check out our guide to Paris for more planning resources and what are the best tours of the Eiffel Tower

Top Places To Eat Near the Eiffel Tower

This list doesn’t only include the best places to eat, we also let you know which are expensive, cheap, kid-friendly, and if they have outdoor seating.

No matter what kind of dining experience you’re looking for before, after, or even during your visit to the Eiffel Tower , there’s something here for everyone. Here are the best restaurants near the Eiffel Tower.

€€ | Pizza | Outdoor Seating | Family Friendly

Come to to Mokus for great pizza made with fresh ingredients and thin crusts at reasonable prices. The ambiance is very hipster and happening, and kid-friendly as well. We suggest you check out the bathroom even if you don’t have to go just to bask in awe of the interior decor.

We recommend starting with garlic bread and a few pizzas. For the main course, save tons of space for homemade pasta. Mokus offers two: beef ravioli and spinach ricotta ravioli, as well as the pasta of the day. They are all made from scratch in-house. And to finish it off, try the pistachio crème brûlée!

Address: 116 Avenue Kléber

Les Cocottes

€€ | French Café | Some Outdoor Seating

This is a super cool little cafe near the Eiffel Tower. It’s small with tables close together making the experience pretty intimate. The decor is modern, the service is great, and the food is always flavorful. The presentation is also something to behold with dishes served in cast iron pots.

You’re not going to feel like you’re in a tourist trap here. I didn’t put family-friendly simply because it’s a bit crowded. If your kids are well-behaved (mine aren’t), they’d be happy to serve them.

Start off with six burgundy snails with garlic butter. Next, order the beef rib steak, Béarnaise sauce, marrowbone, and homemade fries or codfish cooked in bouillabaisse juice, and vegetable stew. To end it off, the ever-fabulous chocolate tart!

Bal de la Marine

€€ | Bar and Restaurant on Seine | Outdoor Seating | Kid Friendly

This is a really cool spot on the Seine. If you get a nice warm day in Paris with some sunlight, you’ll probably find me here. They serve mostly seafood but also have pizza and other French fare.

The variety is great and the management is focused on supporting suppliers who are focused on sustainability, “choosing winemakers concerned about respecting the land, brewers producing in France, and French drink manufacturers who compete with multinational soda companies.” I like it!

Address: Port de Suffren

Bistrot Belhara

€€€ | Bistro | Some Outdoor Seating

The service is impeccable, the wine pairings are excellent, and each dish is unique and delicious. It is a bit off the beaten path, but that means it is peaceful, authentic, and full of genuine talent and French cuisine.

The interior is clean and beautiful, making you want to stay for hours and hours. The menu changes according to the season, so check online depending on when you plan on going.

Address: 23 Rue Duvivier

€€ | Italian Café | Some Outdoor Seating | Family Friendly

Corso is a must when you’re struggling to decide what to have for dinner. Their pasta is great and they offer gluten-free options for all noodles as well. Not feeling pasta? Their menu is lengthy and they’re open late, so grab a cocktail and try a few mozzarella dippers before digging into a plate of beef carpaccio and risotto.

Address: 79 Avenue Kléber

€€ | Healthy | Family Friendly

This is probably the best breakfast or brunch near the Eiffel Tower. The owner is very hands-on, which gives the experience a very personal touch on top of the amazing food. It also makes it a great family restaurant to try out. They even make their own almond milk! Definitely try the dutch pancakes.

Address: 22 Avenue de Tourville

Madame Brasserie

€€€ € | On Eiffel Tower | Michelin Star Chef Thierry Marx | Casual and Cozy

The price tag for your meal will set you back between €125 and €195 per person depending on whether you choose the Eiffel Tower or Paris view and which menu you choose. When you make your reservation, a life ticket to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower will be added to your total.

It’s not cheap, but it is an incredible experience worth considering. I am a bit of a bon vivant when I travel so I would reduce my hotel budget and use that money for this memorable experience. What do you get?

Priority access to the first level of the Eiffel Tower
A very high-quality meal crafted by Thierry Marx who received two Michelin stars at Sur-Mesure
An experience you will not forget.

For me, it’s a no-brainer. If you can plan ahead far enough to get the reservation, you should save up a bit extra for you and another person to enjoy this experience.

Address: The Eiffel Tower, 1st Floor

Le Jules Verne

€€€€ | On Eiffel Tower | 1 Michelin Star | Smart Casual

The definition of bon vivant is a person who enjoys a sociable and luxurious lifestyle. The photo next to it had better be someone eating a meal at Jules Verne. This restaurant will run you between €190 and €230 per person for dinner excluding beverages. The prices reflect a five-course and seven-course menu respectively and are without a doubt worth the price if you can afford it. It’s not just the quality of the food but the experience you will never forget.

This is a starting point as you are going to want a drink. So, if you can, you should . Let this be your reward for a successful year or positive life event but know going into it that you will spend a pretty penny. They have a more affordable, he scoffs, menu at €105 for lunch excluding beverages. It is a 3-course tasting menu that makes for a very pleasant experience.

The restaurant has succeeded in receiving 1 Michelin star under all four chefs who have run Le Jules Verne. You can go through their official website. They release timeslots 90 days in advance, so forget about booking a year ahead.

You have two choices, the Main Rooms (overlooking the city) and the Alcove (overlooking the interior). The Main Rooms obviously go first although the website tries to sell the benefits of the Alcove. You can sit down for lunch at 12 to 1:30 in 15-minute intervals. Dinner sit-down times are 7, 7:15, and 7:30 pm. Expect a magnificent 3-hour dining experience for the 5-course menu and longer for the 7-course menu.
