La Joie is a Sri Lankan restaurant in a former butcher's shop in the 11th, which spares Parisians a train to London for a proper egg hopper. The menu mixes island greatest hits with the chef's childhood favorites, and the hopper arrives with a dollop of sambol begging to be rolled up like a cigar. The furniture suggests a French school canteen, so it suits a quick lunch or a solo dinner better than a long evening.
