Tawlet, which opened in 2022, is one of several notable Lebanese spots that have recently opened in Paris. Mouzawak's ever-changing menu might feature a golden purée of lentils spiked with lemon juice and a drizzle of fiery olive oil or freekeh served with roasted sweet potatoes, charred fennel, and blanched almonds. There's also a selection of Lebanese wines, spices, and pantry items to go.
