Are you in the mood for crunchy falafels to be eaten as is or in a generous sandwich? Here are our best addresses in Paris!

A speciality of Levantine cuisine, particularly from Lebanon,Israel and Turkey, falafels are dumplings of chickpeas or broad beans, mixed with spices and fresh herbs before being deep-fried or baked. Although they originated in the Middle East, falafels are now widespread all over the world, and France is no exception.

Whether eaten on their own or used as an ingredient in a sandwich (commonly referred to asa 'falafel' to describe the sandwich itself), falafels are usually served with a sesame seed-based tahini sauce, in which to dip these delicious, crispy dumplings.

A vegetarian or even vegan alternative to meat, falafels are rich in fiber and contain no trace of gluten, making them suitable for most diets! In Paris, falafel sandwiches are particularly popular in the Marais district, at the unmissable As du Falafel, for example. But they can also be enjoyed in many Lebanese and Israeli restaurants.

Here are our top addresses for eating falafel in Paris!
