You’re in luck, because on the same street as L’as du Fallafel you’ll find La Droguerie, a place that only serves pancakes, but they have lots of flavours, from sweet to savoury! You only have to choose the flavours you find most delicious! They won’t disappoint you because there’s one for every taste!

The line is usually quite long, but here too, it’s definitely worth waiting for!

You can find Cantine California in three different places. On Wednesdays, you’ll find them at Marché Saint Honoré from 11.30 am to 2.30 pm. On Fridays at the same time, you will find them at Marché Raspail. They also have a permanent restaurant at 46 rue Turbigo, in the third district of Paris.

For juicy hamburgers: Big Fernand

In the heart of the Montorgueil district, you will find Big Fernand at 32 rue Saint-Sauveur. All the ingredients are fresh, and you can see it in every bite!

However, the place is very small and usually crowded. So don’t expect to eat sitting there. The best thing you can do is order to go! Also, keep in mind that menu prices start at fifteen euros, just so you know!

For tapas: L’Avant Comptoir

Located in the Latin Quarter on the left bank of Paris, you’ll love L’Avant Comptoir! If you’re looking for fast but sophisticated snacks, this place is perfect for you. Sometimes, when you think of street food, you associate it with low quality dishes.

It works like a tapas bar, so it’s the place to be if you want a light meal or a snack before dinner. You’ll be surrounded by locals from a typical Parisian neighbourhood. At L’Avant Comptoir, the staff is very friendly and always give you the best recommendations.

If you want Fish and Chips : Sunken Chip

Next on my list of the best street food in Paris is the Sunken Chip! What do they serve? They serve “fish and chips” and it’s the best in the city! You’ll find this restaurant at 39 rue des Vinaigriers in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. They have a great variety of fish and homemade contours. All the fries, sauces and desserts are homemade!

After a romantic stroll along the Canal Saint Martin, I suggest you have lunch at the Sunken Chip before heading to the most touristy areas of Paris and all its sights.

If you are looking for delicious sandwiches: Frenchie to Go

Located at 9 rue du Nil, in the Montorgueil neighborhood, Frenchie to Go is an excellent place if you want to enjoy a delicious full breakfast or tasty sandwiches for lunch. It’s expensive, but everyone I know who was there loved the place and its food!

It is located in one of the most pleasant neighbourhoods of Paris. Close to many of Paris’ most important landmarks, Filakia is a great place to have lunch before going to the Louvre Museum. The average price of a full menu is 12 euros.
