Le longuer du repas on est donné l'impression qu'on dérange. De plus, de mon côté, je préfère ne pas mettre le bouillon directement sur le couscous mais en reservoir sur la côté, or içi c"est servi avec la boullon déjà versé. En plus il y a un supplement de €4 si on veut plus de la semoule. C'est dommage parce qu'on s'y attendait à passer un bon moment suivant les autres critiques, mais on n'y retourne plus jamais.

The only reason why Au Vieux Cèdre's bewitching Shawarma does not appear in the pages of "A…read moreMoveable Feast" is because the small Lebanese joint opened its doors more than half a century after Ernest Hemingway lived (and ate) literally around the corner... A stone throw away from La Place de la Contrescarpe, and Hemingway's apt at 74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine (the place where Verlaine died as well), I can assure you that the voracious writer would have devoured many a shawarma, kastas or falafels, as these are indeed "moveable feasts" that you can savor on the go while on your Paris explorations, without being rattan chair bound elbow-to-elbow with other Parisians, as you surely will be (and should be) eventually. This little hole in the wall has indeed the best shawarma I've ever had in three continents, and it's a must have for those on literary pilgrimages in the area. Also try the Soujouk; squashy spicy beef with tomato and hummus. This was my favorite fast food spot while in my 3 month + Paris residency, and the perfect antebellum when sauntering the quaintness of the Rue Mouffetard. Now, for good measure, let me clear my throat *ahem* La seule raison pour laquelle Au Vieux Cèdre's enchantant Shawarma n'apparaît pas dans les pages du "A Moveable Feast"; est parce que le petit joint Libanais a ouvert ses portes davantage que le demi-siècle après qu'Ernest Hemingway ait vécu (et a mangé) littéralement autour le coin... Un jet en pierre à partir de La Place de la Contrescarpe, et Hemingway's convenable à 74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine (l'endroit où Verlaine est mort aussi bien), je peux vous assurer que l'auteur vorace aurait dévoré des beaucoup un shawarma, des kastas ou des falafels, en tant que ces derniers suis en effet "moveable feasts" que vous pouvez savor sur vos explorations de Paris, sans être chaise de rotin liée coude-à-coude avec l'autre Parisians (comme vous sûrement et devriez être par la suite). Ce petit trou dans le mur a en effet le meilleur shawarma dans trois continents, et son un festin pour ceux sur des pélerinages littéraires dans le secteur. Essayez le Soujouk ; boeuf épicé mou et humide avec la tomate et hummus. Ma tache préférée en mes trois mois dans Paris, et parfait en allant au le Rue Mouffetard. No pun intended, but Pardon my French (in every way, really). But I'm just so fucking glad that Yelp has gone Paris!!?? C'est Cool!

VC had been raving about this shawarma place nonstop since we met up in Deauville-- a throwback to…read morehis semester abroad in Paris several years ago. Part nostalgia, part mouth-watering deliciousness... even though he didn't have an opportunity to revisit and satisfy his craving this trip, J & I took advantage of a free afternoon to wander here for a quick bite. AMBIANCE: Its a hole in the wall. Literally. What do you expect? There is enough room to perhaps duck out of the rain (if there is any) and wolf down your meal while standing... but it's better to just take everything to go and people watch in the round-about a few meters down the road. SERVICE: So friendly! The guy behind the counter was very sweet and made some small talk while he prepared our order. FOOD: J really enjoyed his meal. I thought it was ok... I guess VC hyped it up way too much for me (disappointed). The meat was a mix of tender & dry, while the flavor was also a little hit or miss for me. I ordered a Soujouk for myself based on Yelp reviews, and liked that much better. Prices are extremely reasonable (as all these shawarma/hole in the wall places are...), and we left satisfied. OVERALL: Since this place lacked the wistful longing for me that it had for VC, I'd say Au Vieux Cedre would be around 3 stars for me. However J really enjoyed the meal, so I'll bump it up to 4. For most tourists, this would be quite out of the way, but it is a nice way to see a different side of Paris (much younger and "hipper"), plus you get a chance to walk past the Pantheon and see a nice view of the Eiffel Tower on your way back out through the Latin quarter.

We were going to hit the big time. We were going to head back to the hotel, change into some fancier duds, and go out with a bang! We were going somewhere fancy and probably spend too much money in the process. We got delayed at Disneyland Paris and our half day turned into a bit more than that. We got rained on. One of us got too excited shopping on Boulevard Haussman! (That wasn't me.) We forgot to pick up our take home chocolates @ Patrick Roger. (That was me.) We decided to take home a bunch of fresh gallettes from Poilane Bakery (That wasn't me.) And so on and so forth. If you're playing the home game... that's a lot of back and forth in Paris. We walked into PG's loaded with shopping bags and starving. I had fired up the old Yelp when we were at Poilane Bakery and the place that interested us most was PG's and one other nearby joint. We aimed ourselves in this direction and took off walking. Ultimately, we let our noses choose and our noses chose PG's Bar a Manger. Let me say that I love hamburgers, but hamburgers don't always love me. Sometimes they mess my stomach up in a bad way. I was going to be in the air for over 10 hours the following day, so I was hesitant to risk it. I wanted a burger so badly. BUT I also hate to be "that guy" who tries to warp the menu to his tastes, especially in France. I asked the server if I could get the Texas Ranger Burger with chicken instead. He offered to ask the chef. THE CHEF SAID YES! I was very pleased. My wife made her choice and got a Tartine. We both loved our meals. The food was incredibly fresh and the chef makes his own condiments, which were delicious. The food was wonderfully prepared and it was our biggest surprise of the entire trip in regards to meals. The chicken was tender and juicy. The toppings were SPOT ON. I can only imagine how awesome it would've been to have beef instead. I just couldn't risk it with the long flight. The chef actually came out (it's a tiny place, there were only the 2 of them working) and checked on us. He noticed my shame of pulling the caramelized onions off of my burger. He asked why I didn't ask for it without and I had to tell him the sad tale of how I love the TASTE that onions bring to food, but hate to EAT onions because of their mouth-feel. My wife gives me the stink eye for this sometimes, but she usually steals my onions in the end, so it works out. He just laughed. After our meal he came back out and chatted with us a bit. Telling us how he was from NY, but has lived in Paris for a few decades now. We laughed about old people in Florida (he had an aunt with a timeshare) and he asked us for the one thing we'd adopt into our lives back home. He was a real pleasure to chat with and make some delicious food! We left full and happy. Our blown plans wound up making for a deluxe final dinner in Paris. Highly recommend stopping in. They have a great craft beer selection and these great artisan lemonades.

My husband craved Chinese food on our last night, so I did a search here on Yelp for open restaurants within walking distance of the hotel that rainy night. First: Don't get scared by the number of reviews and how long it's been since someone reviewed it before this one. This place does a killing in take away. We were the only non-locals to step into the restaurant. In the 45 minutes we sat down to eat our meals, about 15 people ordered and took their meals home. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside and inside. You will notice the chef at the window making fresh hand pulled noodles. I LOVE hand pulled noodles! Indoor dining during COVID: There is no outdoor dining. You need a Pass Sanitaire to be able to indoors in Paris, which you can get at any pharmacy by paying approximately $40 USD and showing proof of vaccination (with the booster within 7 months of your last COVID shot). They scan the pass before allowing you to sit down at any restaurant. Menu: They have soups, sautéed noodles, and fried rice dishes. My husband ordered the Sautéed Pork Noodles (Pâtés à base de Blé - Nouilles sautées au porc) and I ordered the House Beef Noodle Soup (Soupe de nouilles faite maison au boeuf) which come with tender beef chunks and bok choy. Both were delicious! The hand pulled noodles were nice and chewy, had a nice bite to them. Payment: You pay at the counter and you let them know what you ordered. To pay with a bank card/credit card, you need a minimum of €10. Otherwise, you will need to pay cash. Our meal cost under €30 for the 2 noodle dishes and 2 bottles of Badoit sparkling water. I don't know if they spoke English, as I can speak French. If you don't speak French, don't let it stop you. Just point to what you want to order.
