Review: Maoz Vegetarian has a great location right off of Place St. Michel and is relatively cheap, fast and delicious. Virtually all of their toppings are vegan and they have decent sandwiches and salads. Sandwiches work by you choosing a base (hummus, falafel or eggplant + lettuce) then you have free reign to add as many toppings as you want. (toppings include a wide range of vegetables and the most important... tahini sauce! Expect to spend around 5-7 euros in all.

The woman who most frequently works there is friendly and helpful and I seriously love this place, even if it can be a fattening meal. (They have salad options if you're concerned). Downside is that it really is a fast food place, thus very little in the way of seating (3 stools facing bar and a small table.) But that doesn't keep me away!

 
Pros: Vegan options! * tasty * fast
Cons: Slightly fattening * not much sitting space / very fast-food *

Review: Falafel is awesome and this place makes great falafel. A superb concept, you ask for a small or large falafel sandwich with optional humous or aubergine and then pile on as much fresh salad as you can cram in (pickles, carrots, chilli sauce, coriander sauce, beetroot, lettuce, gherkins, olives etc). We did this place 4 times during a week in Paris and saved a lot of money in the process. A good tip is to take your sandwich to the park over the road from the Notre Dame with a few cans from the supermarket and enjoy yourself at a bargain price. Marvelous Maoz!

Review: The food is awesome. Just get the falafel and fill it with all the fixings your heart desires. I was so happy that they sold fries too. I have never been to a restaurant that sold the two best foods (falafel and fries) in the world in one place. The seating is extremely limited so get it to go. We took our food over to the Seine and had a lovely river-side lunch.
 
Pros: Great Food * Cheap *
Cons: Busy * Limited Seating *

Review: This is my favorite restaurant. For just 4 euros, you can get flavorful falafel and as many delicious toppings as you can squeeze into your pita. the only down side is the lack of seating and all of the people crowding around the salad bar. i haven't been more satisfied with any other restaurant since moving to Paris.
 
Pros: delicious * cheap * healthy
Cons: very little seating * *

Review: The food was tasty, cheap, and vegan.

There really isn't much more to say.

The place looked kind of grimy, but the were at least sneeze guards over the self-serve toppings and the staff appeared to be making some effort to only touch the food with clean paper wrappers and not with their hands.

Review: Handy if you are going to Notre Dame, this is a small falafel bar. It is clearly popular as it was very busy. Most people get take-away. There are lots of meat-eaters take-away places in this area and most of the others were quiet while people queued at Maoz - good to see!
The falafels are tasty, good crunchy ones, and you help yourself to salad, sauces etc. There's a good range of salads and unusual toppings. The eat-in area is very small and gets crowded quickly. We got a table then struggled to get out when we'd finished!
We didn't have any problems with the food - surprised at some other reviews claiming it was greasy etc.


 
Pros: Falafels * Cheap * Quick
Cons: Eat-in area is tiny * *

Review: after going to maoz in madrid paris and barcelona on my journeys , they are your best value and bang for your euro, some things that are diffrent, in paris iam not sure if it is just me but the falafels are much smaller and not as greasy which to me is a good thing in barcelona i often couldnt eat the amount given to me since i was so full not a bad thing either. some of you that have been to the barcelna one might notices that there are no forks to eat with that they have at the barcelona chain, also no gaucamolie is offered at this chain just hummus but they do have eggplant you can add and also heat up the pita for you . my fave thing about the barcelona chain is the cous cous and the sweet potatoes at the salad bar . at any rate this is your best bargin and chepest meal ate here about 5 times mostly being disssapointed by the veggie places not being worth the price .
 
Pros: cheap * fast *
Cons: no small mini forks * no cous cous sweet potatoes in salad bar * just hummus option not gaucamolie

Review: there was a hair in my 9 euro, small portioned, unappetizing salad. the place was cramped. there were only sleazy men in there. we saw many other maoz's around europe because it so obviously was a fast food chain, and we daren't go back.

Review: My favorite Paris district. Decent make-your-own falafel. There was no lettuce. Good price and friendly staff. Fast service. It would be nice if they would recycle (many customer's plastic bottles).

Cons: no recycle bin * *

Review: Near the Notre Dame cathedral in one of the busy, narrow alley streets. Fast food falafel and hummus pitas. Has bar of items to dress up your pita pocket with including veggies (mmmm sourkraut) and condiments. Nowhere to sit inside the restaurant but great for a to-go dish to enjoy beside the Seine. Your pocketbook and your stomach will thank you.
 
Pros: cheap * fast * location

Review: man i love this place. if i am ever feeling in need of a meal i can count on, this is the place i go. fries, a drink, and a delicious refillable falafel sandwich for 7 euro. amazing in paris!
the salad bar is ridiculous-fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, olives, beets, etc., all with delicious spices. it is a very solid meal.
and as the place is extremely close to notre dame, i highly recommend piling your pita super high with veggies, taking it to go (they will wrap it up for you), and sitting in front of notre dame for dinner. one of my favorite paris moments.

Review: I went there twice, and I liked it alot, the falafel was reasonably priced, the staff was friendly, and spoke a little bit english. Sadly my stomach didnt jar with the falafel, because i am not used to deep-fried food. The sauces were really delicious!! Fast and healthy food

Review: It's good food (if you like falafels), and cheap (especially for Paris).
There is a large choice of things you can add inside your falafel.
Good if you need to take away.

Review: sauerkraut on a falafel. who would of ever guessed that. this was my daily staple in paris. it was decently priced for being in paris. 7 euro for a meal (which is on the cheap, even though the dollar sucks at the moment) it is small, and is probably best for take away, but being alone, i was always able to find a seat, and was very pleased with my food. and the workers were willing to speak english, which i found to be a big plus.
 
Pros: sauerkraut * easy * fast
Cons: * *

Review: If you're hungry and don't wanna spend a lot, you go there. Falafel is ok, not excellent, big variety of "fill it up" veggies, basically all vegan stuff. In a good, central and nice area, unfortunately their falafel is not that great.

Review: Yummy little falafel place right near the St. Michel metro stop and Notre Dame. Paris gets expensive and it's nice to duck in for a cheap & tasty meal. A large falafel sandwich w/fries & drink is only 6,50 Euros. Plus you can load up the sandwiches all you want from the fixins bar. Definitely worth a stop or two.
 
Pros: Great value * Good food *
Cons: * *

Review: We ate here twice in three days and only failed to make it 3/3/ because we didn't have enough time to grab a parting falafel-filled pitta before our train left for London! Tasty falafel, good salad selection, quick, cheap and filling. If you have never been to Maoz before try it out. There is just about room to sit down but it is designed more as a take-away place.
 
Pros: Tasty * Mostly vegan * Cheap and filling
Cons: Not much seating * *
