Madito

Top choice in Paris


Teensy Madito prepares startlingly good Lebanese cuisine daily from scratch (there's no microwave or freezer on the premises). With just 20 seats, you'll need to book ahead to feast on starters such as makdous (aubergine stuffed with red peppers and walnuts) or warak enab (vine-leaf-wrapped rice and spiced beef), followed by mains like tawouk (lemon- and yoghurt-marinated chicken).

Vegetarian choices are plentiful. Finish with desserts like aish as-saraya (rosewater-syrup-soaked bread pudding) or sfouf (almond semolina cake).
