les Gastropodes — Restaurant in Saint-Denis

Inconsistent Street Food Experience at Les Gastropodes: We stumbled upon Les Gastropodes, a street food spot nestled in the famed flea market of Paris, and decided to give it a try. We ordered the parigot (cheese and ham sandwich), fish and chips, tiramisu (or so we thought), and a hot chocolate for myself. While I did not taste the parigot, my friend mentioned that the sandwich was good, but the accompanying salad was disappointing, with some rotting leaves that made it inedible.

The fish and chips were just average, nothing to rave about. What really bothered me, though, was the bait-and-switch with the dessert. We had specifically ordered tiramisu, only to be served lemon cake without any notice when the food arrived. I felt like we were misled—if I had known the tiramisu was unavailable, I would not have ordered dessert at all.

Best burger and fries but avoid the coffee

This place has amazing burgers that come at the price of a meal ! The taste, I must say matches the price. Me and my daughter loved the chicken burgers and the fries (they have the skin on them). The lemon cake rounded up our snacky lunch. Quite a good cake too. Overall we were quite happy to sit and eat at the cute little place. Prices are on the higher side, probably because they work only from Sat-Mon. Worth a visit if you are in the...
