Mokonuts - Review - 11th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation
"This studio-sized restaurant with a mint green facade has become so popular that it books up weeks in advance (you can join the waitlist, but there are no guarantees). It's generally filled with English-speakers who are here for the sweet and savory dishes the French-Lebanese and Japanese-American couple who run the place make in the open kitchen. Expect mains like line-caught fish or chicken that’s flavored with Middle Eastern spices, and desserts like satsuma mandarin almond cake and sesame halva cookies. Everything is flavor-packed and near-perfect in execution. While lunch is most popular time (they’re not open for dinner, or on weekends), we suggest breakfast between 9am and 10:30am. You’ll find the same superb quality in their whole wheat waffles, or granola with fruit, mint, and a dollop of homemade confiture." - Sara Lieberman
