Restaurant Diren sur Paris

19/12/2024: Yes. Yes. Yes. Just do it. And what a deal for such filling, fresh and tasty food that hits your stomach so gently. The Turkish people obviously know how to do Mediterranean food justice but this place in terms of value, quality and above all else- service and ambience of comfort made this random find all the better. Found a quality Turkish spot to frequent during my annual trips to Paris. Go the house lentil soup- feels simple but the body of the soup is there along with nice spices that build up without attacking your taste buds. The beef dish that is a part of the 25 euro menu (includes and appetizer and dessert too) was LOADED with all sorts of grains, veggies and well season French fries. The dessert were the pistachio rolls with honey- oh my friggin goodness. Quality. The appetizer was their red pepper and olive hummus with a healthy serving of their toasted warm pita bread- excellent. I failed to take enough photos because I couldn’t resist digging in.

17/12/2024: I came back here after several years: service always with joy and good humor, dishes transporting us to the Bosphorus Strait in one bite, and all at an affordable price and in a very beautiful neighborhood which is no longer in to present. I recommend.
