Faurn, the Lebanese pizza by Alan Geaam
Faurn: Lebanon in Paris by Alan Geaam
At the helm of Qasti bistrot, Qasti Shawarma & Grill and Qasti Pâtisserie and Faurn a devilishly seductive pizzeria that has set up shop on his favorite rue Saint-Martin, this year the Lebanese chef launched Qasti Green, a 100% vegetarian Lebanese bistrot on rue des Jeûneurs, and now has 7 establishments with Qasti Lausanne in addition to his Michelin-starred restaurant.
At Faurn's, the pizza is the traditional Lebanese galette called man'ouché, available here in a dozen recipes, each more delicious than the last: halloumi and nigella seeds, labneh crudités, four cheeses, falafel and tahini...and the traditional zaatar.
Bonus: Faurn is open continuously from early morning and serves a sunny breakfast of eggs and man'ouché with zaatar. For sâj, go for the halloumi, mozzarella and soujouk (small spicy sausages), accompanied by sun-dried tomatoes, green olives and sprinkled with chives. Yummy!
Faurn by Alan Geaam, 212 rue Saint-Martin, Paris 3e.
