The restaurant
Specializing in dishes inspired by North African and Middle Eastern culinary traditions, L'As du Fallafel attracts many visitors. Due to its high demand and limited seating capacity, queues frequently form outside during lunchtime.
The establishment honors Shabbat by closing on those days.
