In Paris, life has long revolved around cafe culture. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lunchtime in Paris evokes the idea of relaxing with a three course meal and a glass of wine on a sunny terrace, not a sandwich quickly gulped down between meetings. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But indeed as Paris has changed, with a new entrepreneurial environment drawing international crowds, waves of immigration from the Middle East and North Africa diversifying the population, and the reluctant acceptance by the French of a slightly faster pace in life, so too has the way we dine. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, Paris has undergone a street food revolution, of sorts. People line up down the streets to get a taste of a burger sold out of a truck. In the rapidly-gentrifying Belleville, the monthly <\/span>Le Food Market<\/span><\/a> (held on the third Thursday of every month) showcases the increasing array of street food options. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From kebab to crepes, these seven street food spots are sure to whet your appetite and serve as an introduction to Paris\u2019s burgeoning street food scene.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. L\u2019As Du Fallafel <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the classics. Nestled into one of Paris\u2019s most bustling streets, the Rue des Rosiers, <\/span>L\u2019As Du Fallafel<\/span><\/a> (the Ace of Falafel) attracts tourists and locals alike at any time of day or night. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the takeout line can be daunting, but the crispy, warm falafel sandwiches brimming with spices and sauces make the wait worth it. If the line at L\u2019As is too long, its neighbor and <\/span>rival falafel shop<\/span><\/a> Mi-Va-Mi<\/span><\/a> is sure to welcome your business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
