A little bit pricey but that doesn´t come unexpected in Le Marais, one of the trendiest areas of Paris at the moment. The falafel and the hoummous are really good. My favorite element were the fried eggplants with a little spicy tomato sauce. Simply delicious! read more

Must get the mez plate with 10 choices the kefta to die for the hummus creamy and delicious. Can't go wrong and well priced ,, service fast but the servers rude. read more

Chez Marianne - Middle Eastern Near Me - Paris, 75

I have eaten inside the restaurant once, but it wasn't memorable. I will travel across town to take a falafel sandwich to-go from the window counter. You may not believe me based on the high reviews of the other crappy falafel places on Rue de Rosiers, but I don't believe them either. read more

Absolutely amazing. Best hoummus ever. Even after you've eaten you will still want to eat more! Will return. read more

A Marais institution known for its yummy fried eggplant sandwich - a lunchtime must when in Paris.

Here are the facts. It takes forever to get a table, especially during the lunch rush. The service staff is brusque and impatient. The food portions are huge and high quality. Amazing falafel, feta cheese, olives, fish and salads. Great selection of wines, all on display so you can pick them out. You will stuff yourself silly here. It will take much longer than you expect and you will need time to digest, so don't make any plans for immediately after your visit. It's great! read more

There's often a long line to eat the take away falafel they are making at this place. Why, I don't really know. It's mediocre. The sauce is almost without taste. Remember to add some of the spicy red harissa to boost the taste. The falafel is ok. Not bad, but not very good either. The actual chick pea falafel and the red onion salad in the pita are the best parts. But it could have been much better... If you want to eat here, try the restaurant menu. That's much better than the take away stuff. read more

The worst experience in Paris. Half of entries were uneatable. Staff just looks through you like you do not exist. Unless you want to be hungry and humiliated - just stay away! read more

Delicious food, friendly people and a good price. If you don't mind small tables and the smell of food you definately should go there.

I don't know, I wish I'd just gotten the walk-up Fallafel (7.5 Euro) so it was easier to compare to the other Fallafel "joints" all within 30 meters of one another in this part of the Marais. But as it was, we ate inside and ordered from the menu. I'm sure I don't understand this type of cuisine well, but I'm not raving about my meal and I felt like 3 small plates and 3 glasses of wine for 50 Euro was a bit much. Plus I was surprised it didn't come with pita bread instead of rye? read more

The food looks and smells amazing but the service is abysmal. There were two other groups in front of us waiting to be seated but no one would seat any of us. There was a middle eastern waiter who sailed by all three groups, cigarette in hand, and he left for a smoke. We noticed that *all* of the outdoor seats were unoccupied. read more

More like 3.5...so I rounded up. Good place for vegetarians in Paris, with decent middle-eastern food. The two of us shared a 6-item plate (eggplant with tahini, stuffed grape leaves, tzatziki, sauteed bell pepper, falafel, Turkish salad), along with an onion bread and a blini. It was plenty of food for 2 and kept us full through whole afternoon of walking! read more

This place is delicious but the attention of the waiter wasn't the best, bad attitude towards those who doesn't speak their language perfectly. We all ordered tasting plates, I think that's the best way to go. read more

I have to say this place has caught up with L'as de falafel which i have been worshipping for years now. Excellent filling, fresh and just as good if you don't want the long line or if end up there when L'as du Falafel is closed (friday/sat). read more

"I don't speak English." That was the answer of the guy who was supposed to sell vouchers for Falafel which you get outside to take away when I asked him for that vouchers. What an incredible asshole at the most touristic place in the Marais. read more

Great place with awesome food and filled with awesome personalities such as Marianne, the guitar player/singer and so on. A must if you are in le Marais. Bring a friend and share the degustation plate (10 choices 30€ ) read more

Nice place, but... Putain quoi ! the waiter was a bit unpleasant, refused to serve the Falafel plate even though they have falafel and the pita is not included, where it is unlimited at L'As du Falafel around the corner. The food was not accurate. Never order kefta. The heaters on the patio are a placebo. It would be better to go down the street... Font chier ces enculés Merde ! read more

Wonderful middle eastern food. We got the plate with 10 different items that you choose from a long list. We also tried 3 of the breads. Falafel, hummus, eggplant, tzitziki were good. Chopped liver was excellent! I haven't had chopped liver like than since my mother made it 40 years ago! read more

The atmosphere isn't amazing - the place is small and a bit cramped - but the food is absolutely delicious and super cheap. We loved our dinner and also loved chatting with the owner's son, who also played guitar and sang while we ate! Overall it was a great experience and I'd definitely go back. read more

Every time we are in the Marais, we make a point to eat here. The fresh food is reasonably-priced and it's a joy to sit outside or inside. The wine is delicious and very reasonably priced (like pretty much everywhere in Paris). Sometimes there is a wait, but it's well worth the wait. read more

The waitress selected our ten Items which we split with four peices of pita and a split of red wine. A great way to sample the menu (dealers choice) but next time I would double up the falalfel and ditch the tuna salad. Overall delicious and even though Lenny Kravitz prefers the joint around the corner I would go back many times over. read more

Service is so-so, we had to ask a few times to get glasses for our wine. Still, the food is very good and the location is nice.

Amazing falafel and accoutrements! Highly recommend for take away. We had sit down service and staff was polite but horrible: waited ten mins to get asked for order, got order wrong twice in what arrived, waited 25 mins for bill after server said twice he would bring it. Basically food rocks and setting is nice but they are woefully understaffed. read more

A friend & I happened upon Chez Marianne on our way to l'As de Falafel & decided to make it our dessert destination; we were not disappointed. Though my friend was too full from our repast to fully partake, I was undeterred. I opted for the cornes de gazelle because they reminded me of the kourambiedes of my youth (& adulthood)--in fact, I found out later that they are sometimes covered in powdered sugar, those these were not, just like my beloved Greek cookies. They were delicious--not too sweet or crumbly; even my companion, who I'd encouraged to take a bite, opined that they'd be delicious with coffee. The star for me, however, was the figue strudel. Unlike the strudels I'd seen, in America, this was neither rolled or folded over, but presented more like a lemon bar or, my friend suggested, a high-end Fig Newton. Were the strudels I had in America more authentic? Was this the real deal? One bite and I didn't even care, anymore. Whether it was some citrus that was added to the mix or just the quality of the figs, in France, being better than those stateside, it was the best damn fig I'd ever tasted and the pastry into which it had been pressed did it justice. It was so good, it made me want to slap the judge AND my mama. I highly recommend you eat it wif yo' mouf. read more

Chez Marianne - Juste quelques unes des délicatesses chez Chez Marianne. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Paris, 75

Don't know why this place is getting mediocre reviews...in my opinion, it's the best falafel and mediterranean place on the whole block (rue des rosiers). Came here three different times, two for falafel to go and one for a sit down dinner. Sit down dinner was unreal and cheap. Ask the waiter for help on deciding and you will get an amazing plate of healthy, reasonably priced food. read more

The food was good but nothing to rave about. We had the mixed plate for 2 and it arrived about 60 seconds after we ordered. Quite opposite to what you experience in most of Paris but made us feel rushed. My French is mediocre but I always give it a try, but pretty sure the guy at the front made fun of how I asked for a table. read more

Excellent excellent food! We allowed the waitress to recommend our selections including falafel, hummus, tabouli, kefta, tampenade. We've vacationed a week in Nice, coming back thru Paris and this was the best food of the entire vacation! read more

This place is overpriced and the food sub-par. It's a tourist trap. The staff is rude, even more than the usual Paris Waiters. I suggest another place that actually wants your business. There are lots of great places in this area and this is not one of them. read more

We wondered around the neighborhood and stumbled upon this lovely place. We ordered two fallafelles to go and they were amazing. 5 Euros each which was a cheapest lunch in Paris. Yum. read more

i've been coming for 25 years but i recently tried to go back, only to discover that the hygiene is out of date. Anyone can sneeze on your food since it sits all day in the open. I made a reservation that they confirmed but no table was available upon arrival. The lady is under total panic and completely rude to customers. She literally insulted me and threw me out for being unhappy about the situation. Food is way too salty, a classic to get you to consume more drinks. Just head to any other nearby restaurants for a very good falafel. read more

We went to Chex Marianne to celebrate the birth of my granddaughter. We did not eat but ordered a half - bottle of champagne. The 'waiter' could hardly tear himself away from the World Cup ( Germany v France) on the TV, was surly and could not even be bothered to remove the match he was chewing. A truly appalling standard of service. read more

Nice middle eastern restaurant. It seemed cozier than the ones down the street, and the service was good. The for was okay - slight tummy ache from the grease left me wondering if it was the right choice, but the food tasted good. Felt a little expensive for what I got, but probably not bad if you like your food. read more

Just got treated like shit here. Probably just for being American. Came in and was very nice to everyone working there. They bounced us around for awhile telling us we couldn't sit in certain sections then finally sat us at a 6 top (only 3 of us) and told us we couldn't use the whole table. Ordered drinks and asked for some water. The waitress brought 2 of the 3 drinks and never brought the water. I asked nicely again and she brought it. One of the cooks came by and knocked two of the glasses over next to me and just laughed. Startled the crap out of me. Asked for the check and the girl nodded. Never came back. Got up to leave and just leave the money on the table and of course she ran over with the check finally. Gave me and my friends the dirtiest look when she brought the change. I wouldn't feel so discriminated against if she hadn't been such an attentive waiter to everyone around us in the restaurant. read more

chez marianne is a totally mad little place, if you're not in by noon, you have to queue for some time, then you get squeezed into a little table at the back of the main kitchen, or if they're really busy they send you over to the dining room across the street. on the plus side you get more space, but the service is far slower. choose how many items you want from the meze style menu, and order some bread. aubergine usually comes in at least 3 forms, falafel, houmus, pickles, all the usuals but done very well, large portions, good value. my first choice on rue des rosiers is always l'as du falafel for a take-away, but sometimes if i fancy sitting down to eat, this would be my prefered choice. read more

Excellent Jewish Middle Eastern food, and much nicer than the places around the corner. There's plenty to choose from, and all good. Friendly and attentive staff made it a great all around experience. I would definitely recommend it for something a bit different than the usual the plat du jour. read more

We used to be regular customers of this place, but the owners and the staff have changed and the new crew has no idea what kosher food should taste like, nor do they know how to treat their clients. If you want to be treated like dirt, this is the right place to go ! read more

Horrible service!!! If you have the bad luck to be seated at a table serviced by a thin woman with red hair, do me a favor and trip her!

If you're lokoinf for real authentic middle eastern food, or a vegetarian option, this is the way to go. Hidden in the Marias, very near the Saint Paul Metro stop, you can't really go wrong. Perfect for a light meal or for several courses, you can eat-in, sit outside or carry out. You can't go wrong. read more

I've been coming to Chez Marianne for over 20 years. Yesterday, on a business trip to Paris, I brought a colleague. I was embarrassed to have done so. The small room feels grubby and overheated. Most of the food was indifferent, and one dish - the caviare d'aubergines - had gone bad (it was slightly fermented). I won't becoming back. read more

I'm generally not a big fan of eggplant and theirs is roasted in the skin, oily, and cooked almost to mush -- and it is so delicious, oh man! It was part of the felafel platters that we had with a carafe of wine last Saturday night. Certainly the cheapest meal we had in Paris (31 euros, total for two) and was "clean your plate" tasty. We're big fans of heavily-seasoned cuisines (Indian, Mexican, Peruvian, Middle-eastern, Asian) so this was a delicious change from the more subtly rendered (and lovely) French meals we'd been enjoying. Far and away the very best of the whole lot of felafel I've eaten in my life, complemented by delicious hummus, that fabulous roasted eggplant, chopped cucumber, cabbage salad, a tomato relish, and great pita. Plenty to eat without feeling over-stuffed. Seating is really "cozy" and the staff were pleasant. We opened with our meager French and the waiter said, "It's OK, I speak some English." Enough to get us through a meal that we were very tempted to repeat the next night. read more
