Le Traiteur Marocain (Enfants Rouges)
A tiled corner stall inside Paris's oldest covered market, working through thirteen versions of couscous and a row of slow-cooked tagines under glass. The lemon chicken and the lamb-skewer couscous are the dependable orders, eaten elbow-to-elbow.
Come before 12:30 on a weekday; the few shared tables fill fast once the local offices empty out.

Marché des Enfants Rouges
39 Rue de Bretagne, founded 1615 — the oldest covered market in Paris. Equal parts produce and prepared-food stalls. The market exists today because in 1912 the city wanted to demolish it; locals successfully petitioned the heritage office and it was saved.
Closed Mondays. Lunch counters until 14:30; the Moroccan tagine and Italian deli are the standouts. For a takeaway pastry, look for the Lebanese counter in the south-east corner.

Little Red Door
60 Rue Charlot, opened 2012 — one of the first wave of Paris speakeasies, now one of the world's most-awarded cocktail bars (top 10 globally most years). Drinks are conceptual and themed annually; the menu is a picture-book that changes every year.
There's no actual little red door — the entrance is the regular wooden door at no. 60. Reservations recommended weekends. Order from the printed picture-book; the bartenders will explain each drink. Cash or card.

- Chez Alain Miam MiamGalette-sandwich counter€ · 1 minAlain Roussel griddles buckwheat galettes and toasted sandwiches to order — cured ham, comté, avocado, caramelised onions — a few steps from the Marché des Enfants Rouges. The queue at his counter is reliably the longest on the street.
- Little Red DoorCocktail bar€€€ · 2 minA fixture on the World's 50 Best list, it builds each menu around one argument — the current one ties every drink to agriculture and sustainability. The name's red door is a feint; there is no trick, just the bar.
- CandelariaSpeakeasy bar€€ · 3 minOrder a taco at the counter of a narrow taquería, then push through the unmarked white door at the back into the room that opened the city's speakeasy era in 2011. The cocktails stay precise and agave-led.
