Noura Marceau

Is there a cuisine more delicious than Lebanese? Having grown up on a Mediterranean/Lebanese diet, I can safely say I know (I think!) quality when it comes to Lebanese cuisine, and Noura is exceptionally fine. This is its primary location and right across the street from the restaurant is a café and a deli where you can shop for foods, pastries, wines and various Lebanese food products. They also offer catering services, bien sûr. (See my review at Noura Traiteur, a lot less enthusiastic than this review.) I highly recommend their falafel sandwich, one of the best I have eaten in Paris. The hummus and taboulé, two of my favourite foods in le monde, are delicious as well. At the sit-down restaurant, I like the vegetarian assortment dish or the chicken Chiche Taouk with its aioli sauce - and now is a good time to mention that I had to send it backlash time as it was undercooked. The atmosphere is chic yet relaxed. The staff, however, is haughty and not nice. They need to go to the Smile and Be Polite School... Noura is easily recongnisable with its royal purple logo. Even its delivery mini-trucks are purple! Great-quality food and purple? Couldn't ask for more. (Actually, I would like a second helping of taboulé, merci.)
