Eats Thyme sur Paris

Very good Lebanese food. Small but tasty menu

We came looking for a meal that was a change from our usual fare, and we weren't disappointed. The warm welcome and helpful advice from the restaurant staff allowed us to enjoy some truly wonderful Lebanese dishes. Thank you, this establishment is highly recommended.

Excellent Lebanese restaurant. Friendly welcome and good service. Very tasty dishes. Affordable prices. Well worth a visit!

My wife and I had a bad experience at another Lebanese restaurant a few years ago… and we pretty much left it at that. But shortly before our last trip to Paris, I saw a very flattering video of Eats Thyme on social media, filmed by the YouTube channel C’est Meilleur Quand C’est Bon (It’s Better When It’s Good). And a little while later, while planning our trip, I saw this restaurant again: first in the Routard guide and then in the Michelin Green Guide… My decision was immediate: if three food critics (who, moreover, don’t cover the same categories of restaurants) are raving about this Lebanese place, it must be really good! Well, we are now MORE THAN RECONCILED with Lebanese cuisine!! We absolutely loved it! 🤤 We ordered several appetizers: hummus (after this, say goodbye to store-bought versions!), tabbouleh (the real deal!), grilled halloumi (served with organic fig jam, a perfect combination), and eggplant fatté (a complete discovery for us and… absolutely delicious!). We arranged the appetizers in the middle of the table and shared them as a family, like an aperitif: everyone helped themselves from the plates, according to their cravings and tastes. All of this was accompanied by their delicious and refreshing homemade drinks: orange blossom lemonade for some of us and iced teas for the others. For the main courses, everyone in my family was happy: my wife and I shared vegetarian man'oushe. One with falafel (to die for!) and the other with vegetables (also very nice). Big shout-out to Eats Thyme, by the way, because my wife I wanted to eat vegetarian for lunch, and it was easy enough, given the menu. But the meat-loving members of my family weren't left out either. My daughter went crazy for a meat mann'oushe. I couldn't resist taking a bite! 😁 The meat was amazing! One of my sons, being a good Belgian, loves meatballs in tomato sauce with fries. So, he's usually not very keen on trying reimagined or (like here) alternative versions of his favorite dishes. But he did dare to try the beef kefta meatballs with Lebanese-spiced tomato sauce and rice. In the end, I really thought he was going to... lick the bowl clean, that's how good he was! So I wanted to try it too. I can confirm: his dish was incredible! As for my younger son, despite his gluten and dairy allergies, he thoroughly enjoyed a suggestion: a bowl with quinoa and seeds. Pomegranate, chickpeas, cucumber, tomato… He also thoroughly enjoyed his meal, and without eating meat. Several of our choices were made following the advice of our waiter, whom I must mention here because he truly wanted us to have a pleasant lunch. I even felt like I was at a friend's house, someone who goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. He advised us on our choices of dishes (as you can imagine, his advice was more than judicious!), proactively refilled our homemade flatbreads whenever needed, and explained our dishes to us (how to enjoy them, in what order—ideally—to eat them, etc.). In short, he took excellent care of us. The dining room was a tad simple, but you know what?! Given the splendid culinary journey we undertook and the extreme kindness of our waiter, who was like our steward, it didn't detract at all from the immense pleasure the whole family experienced throughout this magnificent lunch. This journey Paris-Beirut cost us less than €145 for the five of us. It was a Tuesday in early May, the Parisian sky was gray and even rainy… I quickly understood why: it was because the sun had taken refuge at this address, both in the delicious dishes and in the hearts of this warm and welcoming team! In short, don't hesitate: go… No: run there!!

Incredible service and food - will be back here again!!!! 🩷

Actually, I found it very, very expensive for the portion. It's like I paid 10 euros for 4 cubes of potatoes and the sandwiches had almost no filling. I felt like I was eating thick pita bread with some filling. The zaatar was good, but small. So, for the price, the portions are really small. My kids didn't like it although they love Lebanese food

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming Lebanese restaurant in Paris with my sister, and we were blown away by the experience. 🤩 We were looking for a nice spot with great food and a lovely atmosphere, and this place ticked all the boxes. The real challenge was that my sister has several food intolerances, requiring a bit of extra care with the spices and ingredients. But the team went above and beyond to accommodate her needs! The owner even got involved, and together they created a special option that made her feel included and safe. She was thrilled with her meal, and I was equally happy with my choice. The service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and the location was perfect. If you're in Paris, do yourself a favor and give this Lebanese gem a try. You won't be disappointed! 😊 Highly recommend.
