Because here, in addition to the sacrosanct falafel, we eat the best lamb shawarma pita sandwich in Paris. All this at reasonable prices (€8.50 for a sandwich or €13 for a plate of falafel). Most ? You can even come across Lenny Kravitz or Vanessa Paradis (not together!), who have their habits there.

Version Yiddish : Korcaz

It is the institution of the rue des Rosiers. The bakery has existed since… 1946! A brand that has been passed down from father to son for five generations, and which today exports its creations to the four corners of the world. Today, in the restaurant-tea room, people go there for savory dishes, but above all, for their Ashkenazi pastries (from Eastern Europe). Our favorite ? Plain cheesecake, served in (very!) generous portions. In recent years, Korcaz has also opened up to Sephardic cuisine (from North Africa) and offers specialties such as gazelle horn or boulou (almond cake). We come out with 3 extra kg, but resolutely happy!
