BEST SHAWARMAS IN PARIS ! My wife and I were on a guided bike tour as part of our planned adventures while on vacation in Paris. A couple of hours into the bike ride our tour guide said we would take a 30 minute lunch break in this area known as the Latin Quarter. He also mentioned there were numerous eateries to choose from including a Lebanese place that made excellent shawarmas. YES PLEASE ! We parked our bikes and headed around the corner to find this place. BINGO ! There was a long line of people spilling out onto the sidewalk. VERY GOOD SIGN ! We joined the line which moved at lightning speed. Before we knew it we were placing our lunch order for 1 x Chicken Shawarma and 1 x Beef Shawarma...I added a couple things like Tabouli and soft cheese. All the ingredients we saw behind the glass looked as fresh as a daisy. We paid and within seconds were heading out the door with our treasured Shawarmas. There was not a seat in sight in the public dining island in the center of this intersection so we walked back to where our tour guide had locked up all our bikes. VERY DELICIOUS ! Best Shawarmas or doner kebabs we have enjoyed since our time in Australia over 17 years ago. And amazing value for $16...

The tabbouleh was fresh and delicious, though the portion was a bit smaller than I anticipated. The kebbeh, however, fell slightly short of expectations—it could use some improvement to match the quality of their other dishes.
One recommendation: make sure to ask for the doughnuts to be heated up—they’re good, but warming them really elevates the flavor.
Overall, Le Cèdre is a delightful spot, with some dishes that shine brighter than others. But believe me, the shawarma alone makes it worth visiting. I’ll definitely return when I’m...
