Nestled between Saint-Michel and Odéon, Chez le Libanais restaurant is the star snack of Lebanon: manakiches , a kind of pancake bread with zaatar - a mixture of spices. Raised according to the methods of yesteryear, the dough made from organic flour and buckwheat is baked on a saj , the traditional Lebanese oven in the shape of a half-globe. All that remains to be done is to garnish this couture sandwich (from € 5.50) with falafels, small vegetables or marinated shawarma.

We no longer present Al Ajami, the first Lebanese gastronomic restaurant installed in Paris in 1920 and with an unrivaled reputation, whose precious know-how is provided by Fadi Joseph Abou . The singularity of this incredible gourmet address which now delivers to your home: its extraordinary grills on charcoal .

It's simple : lovers of kebab chick (20 €) will not recover from its 100% natural Italian white Piedmont veal fillet grilled over a wood fire. The alternative ? His Chich Taouk (€ 18), an equally crazy marinated organic chicken supreme skewer, to devour with a space hummus (€ 8), a salad of pomegranate raw vegetables or a yellow lentil caviar. Yum.

Opened a few months ago, Eats Thyme appears as the new snobbish and gourmet address trusted by the beautiful Parisian world. Thought out as an oriental trattoria, its creator Carla Rebeiz, ex maestro of finance, now devotes herself to her passion for food with a virtuosity and a millimeter sourcing. The concept: a counter behind which you can find the best of Lebanese cuisine 2.0 from breakfast to dinner.

It gives crazy croissant with zaatar, chocolate halva brownie, daily specials like at home, labné or babe ghannouj in mezze, Lebanese white coffee, but also and above all Mann'oushé (the Lebanese wheat pancake) made from flour organic, here endlessly available and baked a minute behind the counter.

A lot of mystery still remains around this brand new address in Batignolles and its surprise chatting chef who is keen to keep his identity a secret for the moment (“ But I'm not that well known, eh ”). What we can tell you is that Shatira is already creating a buzz on Insta foodies from all over Paris! Normal, its 100% kosher levantine street food with a good grilled taste is simmered with the sun in its heart and especially good, responsible products handpicked.

Among the tasty kifs to lick the plate: supersweet corn grilled with Cuban charcoal on the cob, fragrant spices of Shira (€ 6.50), root vegetables beetroot, kohlrabi and small roscoff onions roasted in the flames or in salt, a vinaigrette called horseradish sauce (€ 6), to slide smoothly with homemade almond or raspberry drinks (€ 5). But the star of the menu is undoubtedly the insane pita shawarma : spit of veal and lamb simmered all night then roasted slowly on a traditional Konro BBQ, pointed coleslaw, onions, sumac, tahina sauce, chili, sauce amba with black radish pickles and sweetbreads (€ 14). Mmmh ...
