L' Etincelle sur Paris

08/08/2026: A very good traditional Iranian restaurant, offering authentic flavors and a wide variety of typical dishes. A bit pricey but excellent; we will definitely return.

06/08/2026: I had dinner a few hours ago with an Iranian friend and I have absolutely no regrets. Being vegetarian, any concerns I had about the food vanished immediately upon reading the menu. I ordered Motenjan (with saffron rice). Although the dish initially reminded me of beef bourguignon, it was nothing of the sort. A very fruity mix (apples, apricots, prunes…) and very mild (not at all spicy). I discovered doogh, which my friend had already told me about. Something between milk and yogurt. Slightly fermented. With mint. And for dessert, the famous Iranian rolled cake, which I had already tasted. Also very mild. The waiter was very respectful. The restaurant has a traditional and elegant decor. A little haven of serenity far from the hustle and bustle of Paris and far from the images of war. I will definitely go back.
