The 7 Best Falafel Shops in Paris (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 7 picks

The best falafel in Paris in 2026 is at L'As du Fallafel and Chez Hanna on Rue des Rosiers, Chez Marianne nearby, Salōn Marais in the 3rd, Broche in Passage des Panoramas, Comptoir Lazu in Pigalle and Maoz near Saint-Michel.

Rue des Rosiers, in the old Jewish quarter of Le Marais, is where Paris falafel became famous, and most visitors start there. Sandwich shops on the street close from Friday afternoon through Saturday for Shabbat, so plan a Saturday visit elsewhere. We have not quoted exact prices, which move often; recent guides put a falafel pita at roughly €8 to €12 at the best-known places. One note for anyone searching old guides: Mi-Va-Mi, the long-time rival of L'As du Fallafel, has closed.

1. L'As du Fallafel — Le Marais (4th)

The most famous falafel in Paris, in the middle of Rue des Rosiers.

$ BudgetHechsher Beth Din de Paris (BDP)Kitchen Meat

L'As du Fallafel is the landmark of Rue des Rosiers. Its signature is a falafel sandwich served with fried eggplant and hummus, and the lunchtime line often runs into the street because the dining room is small. Wikipedia lists it as a kosher meat restaurant and says it is closed on Shabbat.

Guides disagree on weekday closing times, from about 11 pm to midnight, and agree that it closes early on Fridays and all day Saturday. There is no official website, so call before a special trip.

Good to know: Take it away and eat it on the street rather than queue for a table. Closed Saturday, and shut on Friday afternoon. Confirm the kosher certificate displayed at the shop.

2. Chez Hanna — Le Marais (4th)

A Rue des Rosiers rival whose falafel guides call nearly as good, usually with a shorter line.

$$ Mid-range

Chez Hanna is at the western end of Rue des Rosiers and serves Lebanese and Israeli food. Travel guides rank its falafel just behind L'As du Fallafel, praise the nicer dining room and note slower service, and say lines are usually shorter.

Time Out's listing puts main dishes at roughly €12 to €16. We could not find an official website or confirm its kosher status, so ask at the counter if that matters.

Good to know: Expect a sit-down pace rather than a fast takeaway. Kosher status unconfirmed.

3. Chez Marianne — Le Marais (4th)

A long-running Marais restaurant and delicatessen where the falafel pitas draw the queue.

$$ Mid-range

Chez Marianne's own site describes a restaurant and épicerie fine, and lists the falafel pitas among its signature dishes. Le Bonbon describes a tiled floor and an ivy-covered façade, with takeaway sandwiches made in front of you and chili you add yourself.

It sits a few minutes from Rue des Rosiers, on the quieter side of the Marais. The site does not list opening hours or a kosher certificate, so check both before you go.

Good to know: Ask for the falafel pita to go. Kosher status and hours are not stated on the site.

4. Salōn Marais — Le Marais (3rd)

A small Lebanese-leaning Mediterranean spot whose falafel pita Le Bonbon calls a favorite.

$$ Mid-range

Salōn Marais is a small Mediterranean restaurant on Rue du Roi-Doré with a focus on Lebanese flavors. Le Bonbon's falafel guide calls the falafel pita one of its favorites in Paris, praising its rich, flavorful filling.

Time Out advises booking, especially toward the end of the week. We could not find an official website, so confirm hours and kosher status by phone if either matters.

Good to know: Book ahead late in the week.

5. Broche — 2nd arr. · Passage des Panoramas

A tiny wood-fire shawarma stall in a covered passage with a homemade falafel pita.

$$ Mid-range

Broche is a small stall in Passage des Panoramas with two main dishes, a lamb-and-chicken shawarma and a falafel pita. Sortiraparis says the falafel is homemade. Mapstr says Tamir Nahmias, a former chef, founded it in 2024.

ParisBouge lists lunch service only, Monday to Saturday from about noon to 3 pm, and prices around €10 for a falafel pita, with meal deals higher. These listings are undated, so confirm before you go.

Good to know: Lunch only, by listings, so go before 3 pm.

6. Comptoir Lazu — Pigalle (9th)

A bistro from chef Rémi Lazurowicz with lentil falafel on the menu and a lunch deal.

$$ Mid-range

Comptoir Lazu is the second restaurant from chef Rémi Lazurowicz, across the street from his first, Lazu. Sortiraparis describes 80s decor, an affordable lunch menu and small plates to share in the evening, and lists lentil falafel and hummus on the menu.

ParisBouge lists it open from morning to midnight Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. It is a bistro rather than a falafel shop, so go for a sit-down meal.

Good to know: Closed Sunday and Monday by listings.

7. Maoz Vegetarian — Saint-Michel (5th)

A late-opening vegetarian falafel takeaway steps from Place Saint-Michel.

$ Budget

Maoz's Rue Xavier Privas branch is described by Secrets of Paris as takeaway-only, and listings call the chain vegetarian. It is the practical choice on the Left Bank for a cheap falafel sandwich after a museum or a night out.

Listings show it open daily until about 11 pm, and until 2 am Thursday to Saturday. We found no official Paris website, so confirm hours on the day.

Good to know: Late hours are listed Thursday to Saturday. Takeaway only.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the best falafel in Paris?

L'As du Fallafel at 34 Rue des Rosiers is the best known, and many guides rank it first. Chez Hanna at 54 Rue des Rosiers and Chez Marianne at 2 Rue des Hospitalières Saint-Gervais are the usual Marais alternatives, often with shorter lines.

Is L'As du Fallafel kosher?

Our guide to kosher restaurants in Paris lists it as a meat restaurant under the Beth Din de Paris (BDP). Wikipedia notes it is closed on Shabbat but names no certificate, so check the certificate displayed at the shop if supervision matters to you.

Is Mi-Va-Mi still open?

No. Mi-Va-Mi, at 23 Rue des Rosiers, announced on its own Facebook page that it was closing for good after 26 years, and Paris Eater reports that the site is now a Krispy Kreme shop. Many older guides still list it.

Is falafel open on Saturday in the Marais?

Most Rue des Rosiers sandwich shops, including L'As du Fallafel, close for Shabbat, from Friday afternoon until Saturday night. If you are in the Marais on a Saturday, look at places away from the street and check hours first.

Is falafel vegan?

Falafel itself is fried chickpea or fava balls, so it is often vegan, but pitas usually come with tahini or yogurt-based sauces and fried eggplant. Ask for no yogurt sauce. Listings describe Maoz as a vegetarian falafel chain.
