Halal fried chicken and waffle burgers in Paris 2 (Strasbourg Saint-Denis)

The neighbourhood: near the Bourse, on the Sentier side

CRISPY SOUL Paris 2 sits at 289 rue Saint-Denis, on the historic rue Saint-Denis, on the edge of the Sentier district and a short walk from the Bourse. To the west, the Palais Brongniart and the business corridor of the 2nd arrondissement; to the south, Réaumur-Sébastopol and Les Halles; all around, the Sentier, once the kingdom of textiles and now a hub for start-ups and Paris tech companies. A neighbourhood that works at lunchtime and goes out at night, with pedestrian streets, covered passages and rue Montorgueil close by.
