Les Délices d'Aphrodite & Mavrommatis, Paris

Favorite Dish: Gourmet Greek

Spanakokeftedes, spanakopitta, dolmades, keftedes, tarama, thalassini… if these words sing to you, you will love the restaurants of the Mavrommatis brothers. Within a few hundred meters you can find three venues:

4 rue de Candolle 75005

Phone: 01 43 31 40 39
Métro: Censier Daubenton
Open Monday through Saturday—Sunday lunch only.

Not too pricey, this bistro-like restaurant offers delicious classic Greek food. Main courses start at about 12 €. Everything we have ever tried here is wonderful, and we eat here a lot! Reservations strongly recommended.

Mavrommatis
5 rue du marché des Patriarches
75005 Paris
Phone : 01 43 31 17 17
Métro: Censier Daubenton
Open every day

Just a stone’s throw away from Les Délices d’Aphrodite, you will find Mavrommatis: le Restaurant, a gastronomic delight. This is true gourmet Greek. Expect to spend 35 to 40 € per person (plus wine; there is a nice selection of Greek wine).

L’Espace Mavrommatis
47-49 rue Censier
75005 Paris
Métro: Censier Daubenton
Phone: 01 45 35 96 50

If you want to save a bit of money but want to sample the food served in Les Délices d’Aphrodite, you can go to this take-out store. Most of the menu items are sold to go, along with wine, olives, pita bread, hummus, etc. Open relatively late each day (22h00, I think).

All three of these places are at the foot of rue Mouftard, one of the liveliest streets in Paris. Be sure to take a stroll on this street, where you can find almost anything—restaurants in all price ranges, cafés, an open air market, bowling…

You can also sample the delights of the Mavrommatis brothers in Galeries Lafayette, boulevard Haussmann, in the Lafayette Gourmet area. There you will find a take-out counter. You can also eat there, but seating is quite limited.
