Takeaway in Paris

7 places for Takeaway in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Caractère de Cochon — Mark Wiens, Locavore Eats, Messinger Guides
  A thick layer of butter, paper-thin folds of ham, and a baguette that's crackling outside and pillowy inside — a combination he says "gives you a whole new perspective on the ham sandwich." Refined, best-in-class, and highly recommended.
  Heads up: Both versions — the cooked ham and the aged ham — are excellent, so he suggests trying both (pick whichever suits your mood).
• Aki Boulangerie — Jeremy Jacobowitz, Bappa Life
  Said the braided pastry with matcha, red bean, and chestnut cream had delicate butter flavor and just the right touch of sweetness at the finish — called it 'my kind of pastry.'
  Heads up: Said the egg sandwich had too much mustard, overpowering everything, was unevenly distributed, and the crust stuck to the bread, which was disappointing.
• Arnaud Nicolas — Lucile
  A shop run by a state-decorated artisan where everything looks delicious, and the quiche lorraine with its thick, sabayon-like filling of cheese and bacon is a must-eat in Paris
• Omusubi Gonbei — Bappa Life
  Freshly hand-formed, warm triangular onigiri with just the right kombu seasoning — raved that it tasted 'exactly like the ones in Japan,' even 'better than convenience store onigiri.'
  Heads up: Very popular with a line out the door, and only one Japanese staff member (the rest are Vietnamese).
• Onigami — Louis
  An 11-euro set is a rare price in Paris, and the reviewer praised the well-balanced onigirazu, where the rice doesn't overwhelm the fillings, along with the purple sweet potato tiramisu.
  Heads up: The portions are small enough that the shop itself warns customers in advance (it's more of a quick lunch spot), the popular menu sold out so the reviewer couldn't try the 3 types of onigirazu, and the spicy sauce is quite hot.
• Le Meurice — 조승연의 탐구생활
  Praised for its wildly popular dessert shop that draws long lines, as well as its fascinating history as a hotel designed to suit the lifestyle of English aristocrats.
  Heads up: You have to wait in a very long line to buy the desserts.
• L'As du Fallafel — Jeremy Jacobowitz
  Said the falafel was crispy on the outside without ever being dry, with a strong tahini flavor, and that the creamy fried eggplant in the middle was the best part.
  Heads up: Usually has a line, so it's best to go right when it opens; the inside is dark, and if you get takeout, the filling overflows so much that eating it by hand is hard — a fork may be needed.
