Even the French can get tired of French food, and the food of its former colonies (Algeria, Vietnam) and ancient quarters (Jewish, Chinese) is celebrated on a daily basis.
Mansouria Couscous is much loved by the fast crowd, and has become a bistro staple, but it’s worth going for the whole experience at Fatema Hal’s much-loved Moroccan restaurant, for its choice of seven different varieties. 11 rue Faidherbe, 11th; +33 1 43 71 00 16; dinner for two $150.
L’As du fallafel This place is a hoot; a fast-action, wipe-clean, cheap-as-chips café in the heart of the old Jewish quarter in the Marais. Nobody bothers with the menu – just go straight for the falafel special, which comes literally bursting with eggplant, cucumber, red cabbage, hummus, tahini and harissa. And felafel. 34 rue de Rosiers, 4th; + 33 1 48 87 63 60; dinner for two $50.
Dong Huong Parisians adore the lightness of Vietnamese food, returning time and again to this popular, buzzy restaurant for its steaming bowls of pho soup noodles. 14 rue Louis-Bonnet, 11th; +33 1 43 57 18 88; dinner for two $55.
