Jamie W and I definitely felt a need to change it up when it came to our meals in Paris. We knew we weren't relegated to bistros, brasseries, and boulangeries for our culinary choices, especially in a neighborhood as culturally diverse as Le Marais. That's what drew us to the fresh Israeli fare at this casual cafe. At around 7PM, the place was hopping because there were quite a few people not only dining but also waiting for takeout orders. We planted ourselves at the counter facing the busy prep area where the staff was assembling plates and pitas. We decided to share the 7,50€ Green Beans which looked to be quickly sautéed in lemon, garlic, and olive oil to a fresh, tasty snap (Photo 10). Jamie ordered the 13€ Golden Ratatouille, a healthy melange of eggplant, tomato, zucchini, carrot, and onion mixed in their house tomato sauce with a nice side of hard-boiled egg and tahini (Photo 8). Well, I thought one of us should try their specialty pita sandwiches, so I went with the 13€ Lamb Kebab. It was delicious with big lamb and beef meatballs peeking out of a nice fluffy pita stuffed with red onions and chopped cilantro, mint, and green onions. It was slathered liberally with tahini and their housemade spicy sauce (Photo 9). It was just the Middle Eastern meal we were hankering for. We can have escargots and croissants some other time. FOOD - 4 stars...big pita, saucy ratatouille AMBIANCE - 4 stars...kinda chaotic but comfortable SERVICE - 3.5 stars...pretty fast TOTAL - 4 stars...a fine Israeli option in Le Marais RELATED - Exploring Paris?

Yes yes yes!!! What a FABULOUS restaurant. Super unassuming, exceptionally casual, absolute perfection. We had a big crew and got a variety items. Lots of pitas. The real star was the whole veggies. Everything was super fresh and we enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the kitchen work. The service was fine. As one expects in Paris. Not overly friendly but adequate and able to understand our english mixed with very poor french. I'm not sure Id cross town unless you have a craving, but if youre in the area, definitely stop in! read more

Miznon - Pita - Middle Eastern Near Me - Paris, 75

Miznon is literally one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in Paris for work. Their food is phenomenal. I always order the Beef Bourguignon Pita and the green beans. I've been coming here for years. The space is casual but charming and the staff is always helpful. I highly recommend stopping in at any three of their locations but this one is my favorite. read more

Candidly we were going to try that falafel place around the corner but it had a big line. So we popped over here. Really glad we did. We ordered quickly and they had terrific food. We tried the rotisserie chicken pita and the ratatouille one. Both were packed full of fresh ingredients. I loved the veggie one. But shoutout to the pita because it didn't collapse or get soggy from all the veggies and sauce. It held its own and was delish. Inside has some tables in back that were good but really this is a quick lunch space and a great one at that. Delish. read more

Another great pita spot around the corner from the famous falafel shop. We tried the lamb pita and the roasted cauliflower. Both were very fresh, the roasted cauliflower tasted great but needed some salt or sauce to give it more flavor. The lamb pita was so fresh and cooked perfectly but didn't have any flavor depth , it tasted quite plain. I added tahini and tomato sauce to it but still need some spices , I am hoping to try the beef pita next which is more spicy and might be more flavorful. Their tahini sauce was great too. Service was quick and everyone was helpful. Seats are pretty limited and the spot is tight but they have more seating in the back too. read more

A wonderful find. A big thank you to previous reviewers. Went there and had a wonderful experience. The beef bourgeon pita was excellent. With a taste better than fancier restaurants. Fast service. Tables in front and more in back. Self serve water urn in back. 14.50 euro. Each. Then we found a wonderful ice cream store front down the street. Yum. read more

LOVED Miznon! It's a cute little spot right in the heart of the Marais. And the food was absolutely amazing! The cauliflower, broccoli, and eggplant were divine! I want to visit Paris again, just to come back here! read more

This place as a highlight for us in Paris. Loved it. Let's be real - you've been eating French food for days now. You're fatigued by the weight of the food and you're a bit constipated and in search of some fiber. Welcome to Miznon! We came relatively early so we didn't really wait in line. Once we stepped in, I knew this was my place - music was great - American hip hop. Everyone there spoke English and not in a I'm French and speak English type of way, but like a they're speaking English while cooking and talking to each other. There's a back portion of the restaurant as well for additional seating (kind of hidden). Otherwise, the food was GREAT. The beef bourguignon was one of the best we've had in the trip and the steak and egg pita hit a lot of california fresh flavoring for me. Both were absolutely delicious. We scarfed down our food so fast and were happily full after. They also have some additional sauces you can get to put on your pita. We sat at the barish area while watching them cook so most items were self serve for us. read more

Had cruised by the Miznon in New York Chelsea Market so many times and wanted to try. Glad I got to check out the Marais location while in Paris. Delicious. Had a beef bourguignon pita which was heavenly. Huge portion and I added some of the rich tahini and herby green hot sauce. It's tight in the little space but it works. Cool people, nice service. read more

Late weekday evening. Delicious. I had the fish & chips and my friend had a felafel burger. Both were excellent. Flavorful. Great texture. Extremely fresh ingredients. Friendly service. I felt sad to have to go back to the D.C. area and eat what's available there. No comparison. read more

Oh can you taste the freshness. Probably my favorite pita sandwich place on earth. The spicy lamb pita is incredible. Generous with six or so medium rare meat balls perfectly complimented with garlic, tahini, dill parsley and an unknown hot sauce. If I could eat something everyday for the rest of my life this would be it. Not sure if this is unique to the Paris location but the quality of the pita is incredible. We also ordered the spicy fish plate which was great and the artichoke started which came with a mound of salt and interesting liquified tahin sauce. Also, they serve the water that comes off tomatoes as a complimentary side. Excited to try what more the menu has, the Vegas location is almost 2x the price so you're getting deep value here. Wish I tried the dessert. The ambiance is cafe like with interesting touches of fresh produce littered throughout. Service was quick and attentive. read more

Look. I'll keep it real. I'm admittedly pretty easy to please when it comes to good food and attractive people. I'm a chubby young American, and this being my first time in Paris, I was enjoying plenty of delicious things all over. But this place is next level. Get the boeuf bourguignon pita. Get multiple. My friend and I ordered one each and then immediately split a third despite being dangerously full because it was THAT delicious. To quote my friend upon his first bite: "this is so good it almost makes a complete moral 180 and counts as a crime against humanity." We sat at that counter having a damn near religious experience. Service and ambiance and anything else didn't blow me out of the water the way this food did. They weren't bad by any means, just not as memorable as the euphoric experience of biting into the lushest pita I've ever had and a hot, savory stew that earned Paris its historical top spot among the culinary elite of world cuisine. What a fusion. The flirtatious host certainly helped too. My mouth is watering now just thinking about either. read more

I have to be honest. I wanted very much to like this simple fast food kosher restaurant, but it didn't deliver. I ordered the Boeuf Bourguignon. I took one bite and thought, damn that's salty, and I have a high tolerance for salt. I asked my friends to taste it and they too agreed it was beyond salty. Maybe it was an off night. They recommended I eat it with lots of bread or potatoes. That didn't help. It was inedible, so I didn't eat it, but I wanted to give feedback. Afterall, I am a food writer and was trained as a classical french chef based in Paris, and I don't want anyone to fail and feedback is always good, so you can provide the best service and product.., n'est-ce pas? I told one of the "staff" members that it was inedible. He responded, yeah he tasted it that morning and admittedly said it was salty, then why the f*ck did you serve it, or better yet, why wasn't it fixed. Whether they do anything, is up to them. I did taste my husband's fish, and it was fair. And, the chicken was good. For those reasons if I only had the boeuf bourguignon I would've rated in terrible. Net-net, if you're tasting food and it is NOT to your standards, then don't serve it. Would I go back, I'm honestly not sure. Amicalement, Food critic/travel writer.... read more

We popped into this restaurant for a quick bite after our bike tour. It was a highlight amid lots of other great food on our trip. The lamb meatballs were tossed with lots of parsley (and they held the onions upon request) and was moist and tasty. Then I had to get the falafel and it was also so amazing. My husband got the minute steak pita. All was so great. Get the roasted sweet potato! A sudden thunderstorm popped up and they closed the doors, then it got even more festive! Quick and amazing service. Would definitely go back! read more

A bit hectic inside but everything was delicious. Loved the whole cauliflower head, the artichoke with aioli and the beef Bourguignon pita. Tons of food for the price too. Definitely ask for extra napkins as it's very messing (but worth the mess). read more

The best cauliflower I've ever tasted!!! The char on the cauliflower just gives it so much more flavor. I never thought my favorite item at a restaurant would be cauliflower. Okay, I'll stop with the cauliflower. Miznon is smack dab in Le Marais which is filled with delicious food and shopping stores. The line was out the door, but I knew that I had to try this place, so I waited. It didn't take too long but be warned, you'll need to keep an eye out for tables. There's an English and a French menu for those who are wondering. I tried their whole cauliflower, lamb kebab pita, and their beef bourguignon pita. Everything was delicious and super filling. The only thing I did not enjoy was smelling like barbeque smoke afterward. Definitely, a must try for visitors. read more

Miznon has quickly become my favorite eating spot in Paris. After trying their Boeuf Bourguignon Pita for the first time a couple of years ago, I was hooked. Super-flavorful, juicy and tender meat, stuffed in a fluffy pita, this thing is addictively delicious! If I had to chose one single dish I had to eat the rest of my life, this would be a serious contender for the top spot. And Miznon has a lot to offer when it comes to delicious food, simply cooked: from the haricots verts/string beans with garlic and lemon served in a paper bag[1] to the lamb kebab plate; from the roasted whole cauliflower heads to a dish of beans, eggs, onions and fresh tomato sauce, all the dishes are as simple as they are delicious. And I also love the great atmosphere here: very convivial and easy going, everybody here seems super-happy all the times. The music[2] is pretty loud, and quite often the people who work here are singing along. You can't help but feel euphorically happy when you eat at Miznon! Added bonus: unlike many places in Paris, service is super-fast, and even if there is always a line, it moves very quickly. Also, if customers have finished their food and are just sitting there, the staff would gently but firmly let them know that there are people waiting[3]. Can't wait to go back to Paris to stuff myself with the boeuf bourguignon pita and all the other delicious things Miznon has to offer! --------------------- [1] Quite possibly the most delicious thing I've ever had out of a paper bag. [2] Usually a mix of contemporary French music with a Middle Eastern flavor, classic rock, French pop, etc... [3] There is a second room at the back. read more

Second time I've tried to stop by this location. Super packed. I had the lamb kebab pita sandwich. A more subtle flavor than it's other Middle Eastern cousins. Tons of vegetarian options as well.

The line at L'as du Falafel was crazy, and I had been there before, so I wanted to try something new, and Miznon seemed like the place to be (just across the way from L'as du Falafel.) There was a line here also, but it died down by 1:45pm. Food comes out very quickly after you order. - L'originale tete de choux fleurs: yes, a whole head of roasted cauliflower, which many people seemed to get based on Yelp. It had a nice char and was fork tender, but seasoning was a little uneven - Kebab d'agneau: lamb kebab - nice ground lamb, not too gamey. Great pita, lots of fresh herbs They have Israeli beers to go with your pita (first time trying it - not amazing). Music was great - DMX, 50 cent, Biggie, etc They have a few seats inside (counter seating, some high top communal seating, tables in the back, and one small table for 2 facing the line outside), but most people take it to go. A few other notes: - You can order ahead. - They do have a bathroom. - Hand sanitizer is also readily available. - Credit cards accepted. read more

What an amazing surprise!! Our favorite restaurant from Israel is now in Paris?! What?! So of course we had to check the place out! The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating. I ordered the Ratatouille pita because we were in Paris, afterall, and of course we ordered the roasted cauliflower! Everything was amazing! I'm not a huge fan of Ratatouille but this pita was absolutely delicious! And the cauliflower was roasted and salted to perfection! My husband ordered the lamb pita, which we have had before, and it is just as delicious here as it is at the location in Israel. So you can't go wrong with this restaurant! Enjoy!! read more

Everything on the menu seems to be fully mastered, the flavors are amazing at a very affordable price. Highly recommend the herb and lamb kebab, it's to die for (their beef bourguignon isn't too bad either) read more

Miznon - Lamb and herbs kebab - Middle Eastern Near Me - Paris, 75

Miznon, just around the corner from L'Art du Felafel, is well worth a visit. Delicious recipes freshly prepared in front of you. Stand in line to order and then find open seating. There is more room around back. The atmosphere is fun, the service is friendly, and some of the vegetables are glorious. I missed the charred cauliflower but I can vouch for the haricot vert. Lemony and garlicky-they are beautiful. I didn't order quite right--they were out of the famous beef bourguignon and I got a stuffed cabbage pita which didn't do it for me. The cabbage was tough, the juice dripped out of it on my pants...uggh it was unfortunate. Some of the other pita sandwiches looked much better- heck the one minute steak and its toppings looked colorful and wonderful. Don't ignore the free dips and accoutrements which are on the right of the counter. Especially don't ignore those haricots verts! read more

Mindblowing Israeli street food. This is a gem in Le Marais, around the corner from L'as du Falafel. Order at the counter, but there is more seating further into the restaurant. The roasted cauliflower is amazing - pair it with the green sauce and a teeny bit of flaked salt (it's very punchy) and the combination of garlicy, savory, spicey goodness with the tenderness and slight smokiness of charred cauliflower is something I legitimately crave. You can't go wrong with the stuffed pitas - try and get the beef bourguignon (not available in the New York location of Miznon), but the cauliflower pita is great for vegetarians. The pita bread is perfection: fluffy and light. read more

Un concept très bon, il est rapide et efficace. Les sandwichs en pita étaient TRÈS bon, celui au boeuf bourguignon était exceptionnel. L'ambiance était un peu étrange car la salle est toute petite et assez bruyante mais a part de ce petit pépin, c'était tres bien. read more

Literally the most bland thing I've ever eaten in my life. The chicken roti pita had ZERO flavor nor seasoning. I asked a 'waiter' for some hot sauce and it never came, plus there were no condiments anywhere. Same with the grilled cauliflower. Bland, bland, bland, in desperate need of seasoning. Hubby has the beef bourguignon pita recommended by the waitress, he was not impressed. They had just made some limonade but they poured us like a 1/4 cup each, almost nothing. The place was dirty and had loud music. Outside the vitrine in the back was trash, dirt and mouse traps - disgusting!! No service to speak of either. For all this we paid 35 euros for lunch. What a waste!! read more

I strongly advise any tourist, especially black tourists, against patronizing this establishment. I received such rude behavior from the staff just because I decided to dine at the eatery as opposed to my initial request to take my food to go. The busboy harassed me about sitting there to eat after I had asked him for a to go back, as if it was the biggest inconvenience of his life. When I asked him why he was so rude, he made it about giving me a bag, a futile rebuttal. The only reason I changed my mind is because I realized there was more seating in the back of the location, something that's not clearly signed in the interior. While I know French servers are known for being less welcoming than American ones, I'm surprised that a restaurant chain that has locations in New York would have workers act so crass and flippant towards clients. Can definitely say I will never return. read more

By far our favorite restaurant for everyday (and night!) in the Marais. Fabulous roast vegetables--charred at the edges and custard-like within, gently oiled and salted. The flatbread is equally sublime, pillowy and lightly charred. Delicious ratatouille--plus warm, casual vibe, kind servers, international (multilingual) soundtrack. read more

We were in the le Marais area shopping when the need for food hit us suddenly and without warning. It was only 5pm and we had dinner reservations at 9 so we didn't want to spoil our appetite. We turned to yelp and were delighted to find this extremely affordable, healthy, wholesome and tasty option nearby. We ordered from the counter, and took our seats. We ended up with a roasted whole head of cauliflower first. After a week of bread, cheese and butter this was a god send. Our bodies could only vaguely remember what vegetables tasted like. Of note- there was a bar to the corner of the restaurant that had sauces you could add to the cauliflower. One was a tomato purée, another a garlic tahini, and the last was a spicy green olive oil concoction. They had beer and soft drinks by the bottle as well which we drank happily to replenish our energy. We ended with falafels which were served inside a piece of freshly baked pita. Best falafel we have had. read more

Miznon - Roasted cauliflower - Middle Eastern Near Me - Paris, 75

Super! The service was fast and awesome. We had the chicken, lamb and roasted cauli. Great for a fast and easy meal in a great part of town.

Not to be misssed! The beef bourguignon pita is unbelievable! One of the best things I've eaten during my stay.

Barely a month later, and I'm back! Pro tip: show up in front of the restaurant before it opens at noon; I guarantee you that the place will be packed as soon as the doors open. Good thing I staked my place outside at 11:50! Order the lamb kebab again (fresh and delicious, as always) and added a roasted cauliflower head as a side dish. If anything, the cauliflower ended up being a meal in itself; it was that massive! Although it had nothing but a bit of salt and oil on it, the cauliflower was one of the best that I'd ever eaten: slightly charred but tender, I was able to cut through it like butter. The mini snack bar was good as usual: soft, fluffy pita with homemade sauces (still don't know what they're made of, but tasty anyway) and this time with roasted jalapeño peppers (which nearly scorched my tongue, but it was all part of the experience!). ...photos or it didn't happen. read more
