L'As du Fallafel
About
L'As du Fallafel is a cherished kosher Middle Eastern restaurant tucked into the heart of the Le Marais’ historic Jewish quarter, at 34 Rue des Rosiers. Known across Paris for its street‑style falafel, the menu offers a classic sandwich served with eggplant and hummus, all in a bustling, clock‑watch‑style kitchen that keeps the line moving. The falafel here is prepared from a secret blend of herbs and spices, producing a crisp, flavorful bite that has earned rave reviews from locals and tourists alike. The restaurant’s quick‑service layout allows guests to order and eat quickly, making it an ideal stop for a hearty lunch before a day of walking. Prices are steeped in modesty—an average spend of €10 suffices for a satisfying meal. While the crowd can swell during peak lunchtime hours (typically 12‑14 pm), the staff’s efficiency keeps queuing to the street level. For those seeking a quieter experience, visiting earlier or later in the day helps avoid the longest queues. The restaurant remains closed on Shabbat, honoring traditional Jewish customs.
