The best Levantine food in France, according to the experts: Le Fooding, The Infatuation, and The 50 have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Mokonuts comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Paris.
More Less
Broche and Nour Comptoir hold the next two places. Le Fooding shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with the Michelin Guide next.

Rank 1. Mokonuts
Levantine
A queue snaking down Rue Saint-Bernard in the 11th is usually a reliable sign you should abandon your plans and join it. Mokonuts is a small bakery-café where a Japanese-Lebanese couple blends Levantine cooking with serious pastry training, the kind that produces tahini cookies and fig tarts with black sesame that make the wait feel incidental. Lunch runs toward punchy Middle Eastern flavors, but the baked goods are why locals circle back.

Rank 4. Zoutra
Levantine Wine Bar
The name means "little one" in Aramaic, and the room delivers on that promise with stone walls, concrete, and hardwood floors gathered around an open kitchen. This Levantine wine bar and small-plates spot in the 18th leans into the Eastern Mediterranean with sharing plates that smell like somewhere warmer than Paris. The mofletta-wrapped lamb arayes alone justify the detour.
