L'as du Fallafel

In the window of L'as du Fallafel, it says that Lenny Kravitz likes to eat here. If anyone knows food, it's Lenny Kravitz, so I chose to eat here rather than any of the many other falafel restaurants in the Marais neighborhood. The seating area is small and crowded, but the food is good and fast. One warning: the indoor area is quite smoky.

L'As du Fellafel

Located on the corner of the Rue des Rosiers and the Rue Vielle du Temple, in the center of the Marais, L’As du Fellafel was once described to me as “the best falafel in the world”--I think it might even say that in the window. To take out or eat in, the food is excellent. The falafels themselves are smaller than you’ll find in New York, but very very good, and the Fellafel spécial adds eggplant, carrots, red cabbage to the pita. We were a bit ambitious, and ordered an Assiette royale to start (70FF), a Fellafel spécial (35FF), a Shawarma (40FF), and two Heinekens (20FF each--not the most interesting thing to drink, but in this place, there were more wines to choose from than beers. Came in cans.) The appetizer assortment was big, with at least seven different things to put on the slices of pita that came on the side. Hummus, of course, babaganoush, a paté, some curry-like mixtures of onions and chicken, and another spicy hummus-like purée. This, it turned out, would have been enough to fill us up. As luck would have it, we had arrived a half-an-hour before they were about to close (7:00pm! It turns out that a lot of little restaurants close around 7:00, especially the places that are mostly open for lunch.), so the Shawarma machine had already been turned off and cleaned up. Thank God, because there’s just no way that I would have been able to eat all that! My friend got his Fellafel spécial, and was blown away, while I finished off the appetizers. We were completely stuffed and very happy.
