I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.

When we walked in, it was pretty empty. We were the only ones in there for the entire time. I honestly was a bit worried at first, but in the end, it turned out not to be so bad. My friends and I all opted for the course meal. The entree (appetizer) is hummus, tzatziki and a side of salad. The plat (main course) is rice with either beef/chicken or one of both, a meat & cheese empanada and a falafel. The meal was very delicious and filling. The waiter was nice. The chef/owner was around and personally welcomed us in. This place has a very home-y local feel. It was a good meal after a long day.

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.
