Tips
- Many tables in the 11th sit in the streets near place de la République and Oberkampf: you can visit several in the same evening.
- To taste several cuisines without picking a restaurant blind, a food walk through the Marais is a good first step.
- To recreate hummus and tabbouleh at home, see the cooking classes in Paris.
