Song Heng is a modest Vietnamese restaurant known for its limited yet authentic menu. Specializing in Pho Bo and Bo Bun, the eatery provides an atmosphere reminiscent of Saigon. It's an ideal spot for a meal before a leisurely stroll.

this is a small Vietnamese joint in the 3rd—they only have two things on the menu: pho bo and bo bun. It feels like you’re in Saigon, and is perfect fuel for a pre-Pompidou stroll
Abri Soba is a cost-effective spot known for its tasty soba noodles. The restaurant offers a friendly service, making it a pleasant place for a lunch break. It is highly recommended by customers as their all-time favorite spot.

My all time favorite lunch spot in Paris. Really cheap and the sobas are tasty and the quality is just right. Also, service is friendly.
Urfa Durum is a longstanding Kurdish sandwich shop known for its Dürüm kebab made with hand-rolled dough and cooked on a wood-burning charcoal grill. They offer a simple menu of various Dürüm options, including ground beef, free-range chicken, lamb, lamb's liver, and a vegetarian choice. The Lahmacun, a delightful mix of lamb mince, tomato, parsley, and onion, is a must-try item that customers often rave about.

Filling, affordable and oh-so-satisfying.Slinging some of the best lahmacun your Euro can buy, this tiny Kurdish sandwich shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis in the 10th arrondissement has been open for over 15 years. From the hand-rolled dough to the wood burning charcoal grill, everything is cooked to order and assembled right in front of you. The charred savour and crisp-come-soft chew of the homemade bread is something to write home about.The straightforward menu offers a handful of dürüm, including ground beef, free range chicken, lamb and lamb's liver, as well as a vegetarian option. Take your pick, you can't go far wrong whichever path you choose. However, leave without a lahmacun in hand at your own peril: lamb mince and spice and everything nice - AKA tomato, parsley and onion.A must-visit when in Paris!
El Nopal Taqueria is a hidden gem offering some of the best tacos outside of Mexico. The restaurant provides a variety of classic Mexican dishes, including carnitas, chorizo, barbacoa, and freshly made tortillas. From vegetarian options to homemade chorizo and guacamole, El Nopal Taqueria ensures a diverse menu catering to all tastes.

Best tacos in Paris. Hidden behind some of the seediest establishments in the area El Nopal are slinging the best tacos outside of Mexico. All the classics, carnitas, Chorizo and my absolute go to Barbecoa. Not surprisingly making fresh tortillas to order this backstreet gem of a place was the best find of the day. I mean… to head to Paris to eat Tacos feels like sacrilege coupled with the seedy area of lingerie, vibrators, gyrating door hosts and neon but it’s a perfect accompaniment to the area.I cannot recommend this place enough.
