We ordered a variety of traditional foods and shared, to get to try more of their options. I know when you're traveling in Paris, you only have a limited number of meals and you don't wanna waste one. This is worth it!

I never give one star but this place is beyond anything I have seen when it comes to service. I was…read moresitting with my back to their central way and suddenly a knife hit the back of my head coming at a high speed. My skull was definitely impacted. I suspect the waitress dropped the knife as she was passing behind my back. She was non-apologetic and extremely aggressive and rude. Arguing that she did not know where the knife was coming from?! This should not have been her first reaction. I have to assume that somehow she lost the knife from a plate. She kept arguing with me when I pointed out that she should have shown some concerns and simply apologize. She initially did not. Eventually she came to her senses and finally somehow gave a fake apology. We left the premises without eating anything. The atmosphere was dark and kind of depressed. I have to assume that the owner must have been away. Quand le chat n'est pas la, les Souris dansent.

Since we were shopping at Westfield Forum Des Halles in Paris, France we selected Le Chouchou to…read moreeat some classic French dishes. We ordered escargot which both of our daughter tasted...very herbaceous and the texture of the chewy part of a clam. We also ordered a chicken Caesar Salad for the table...we had a really tasty one at a cafe earlier in our trip but this one wasn't as good. For my not so adventurous daughter we ordered a Croque Monsieur, a ham & cheese sandwich topped with a béchamel sauce then toasted. She really enjoyed it! My friend wanted French onion soup, she'd tried one at a cafe earlier in our trip but it was not very tasty. This one at Chouchou had a better cheese topping than the first one she tried. We also ordered steak frites & a carbonara pasta. Our server forgot the carbonara so we had to remind him when we were almost finished with our entire meal. It was quite a bustling restaurant so make reservation to ensure you get a table. It's a pretty big restaurant by French standards, normally everywhere in France is quaint & small. Overall if you are shopping at this mall...this is a decent French restaurant but if you do your research you can find better. We were starving after we shopped so this worked for us.

I went with the bufalo mozzarella appetizer and salmon entree, while my friend also did the salmon, and chocolate mousse for dessert. The mozz was amazing, but the best part was the cantaloupe it was served with - it may be the most delicious cantaloupe I've ever had. The salmon was perfection, and I'm so glad we both got it because I wouldn't have wanted to share. Crispy and melted on the tongue, with great flavor. The chocolate mousse was also excellent!

Our second lunch we had the Specialite de ma grand-mere (roasted lamb shank with figs) which melted in your mouth, it was so tender. The chicken kabobs and Spanakopita were tasty, however the pork kabobs lacked flavor and were very tough. The staff and especially Leila were lovely and attentive and gave us a little glass of Ouzo to finish. If your looking for a homey atmosphere and authentic Greek cuisine, La Crete is the place!

From the…read moremoment we walked in and were greeted like family to the end of the meal, we felt so welcomed. We found La Crete on TripAdvisor and decided to stop in due to the great reviews. We checked Yelp of course and saw they were great here as well. To begin, we ordered hummus and immediately dug into the hummus that was absolute perfection. The pita bread they served it with was grilled and had some herbs on it as well...delicious!! We told the server, I think was one of the owners, the hummus was amazing and he brought us a little bit more. We all ordered skewers with baked potato, salad and tzatziki and we all loved it. The amazing service continued throughout the meal and when baklava was suggested we decided...why not? I'm not usually a fan of baklava because it is most likely made with walnuts or pecans and I hate both of those. This baklava was made with pistachios and was so very yummy. Again...perfection!! We made plans to return the following night and our trip on the Seine river went too long and we had to leave without getting another chance to return. Although this made us sad, we still felt very fortunate to have had the chance to eat here once. If you have the chance...eat here! I recommend it without hesitation!!

Samaya is a fancy Lebanese restaurant located a short walk from the Bir Hakiem metro station near…read morethe Eiffel Tower. They have just about any Lebanese dish you could think of, except for sfiha (Lebanese flatbread with various toppings). After being seated I ordered a mixed skewer plate and kibbeh. Mixed Skewer Plate (18 euros) - This came with kafta kabob (spiced ground beef), boneless chicken kabob, lamb kabob, shirazi salad, eggplant, hummus, and some pita bread. Each of the grilled kabobs was so flavorful and juicy. My favorite was the juicy and flavorful kafta kabob. The shirazi salad was fresh while the hummus and eggplant dips were just middle of the road. The pita bread served here is the store bought variety. Kibbeh ($9) - I always enjoy these fried football shaped croquettes, and the ones here didn't disappoint in terms of taste and consistency. The outer shell is made of bulgur wheat while the inside consists of a spiced minced meat. Overall the food tasted great, however the size of everything here is about 30% less than what I would have expected. The kabobs are so much smaller as are the kibbeh compared to portions in the U.S.. Bottled water is about 6 euros, so be sure to ask for tap water instead. This place is on the pricier side, however it's a great place to get one's Lebanese fix. All the food served here is halal.
