One of the most popular spots in the 5th is Rue Mouffetard, an ancient Roman street that now attracts both locals and culinary travelers looking for some of the best food shops in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Get off at M\u00e9tro stop Page Monge and start your exploration at Place de la Contrescarpe before heading up rue Mouffetard to discover a variety of restaurants, shops, and caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is a daily open-air market on the opposite end of the street at Place Saint-M\u00e9dard. Whatever you do in between Place de la Contrescarpe and Place Saint-M\u00e9dard, don\u2019t miss these five stops:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Oroyana (36 Rue Mouffetard) serves some of the most delicious, freshest cr\u00eapes in the city (try the classic Nutella or the flamb\u00e9ed Grand Marnier).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The cheese selection at the historic Cr\u00e9merie Quatrehomme \u2014 La Maison du Fromage (118 Rue Mouffetard) will surely blow your mind. From creamy Camembert to strong Roquefort, they have it all (and, if you\u2019re polite, they will let you taste it before committing to a full wedge).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If you\u2019re in the mood for a sit-down meal, La Contrescarpe (57 Rue Lac\u00e9p\u00e8de) restaurant serves an excellent traditional salade ni\u00e7oise (mixed greens, a sliced hard-boiled egg, black olives, anchovies, tuna and boiled potatoes served with traditional vinaigrette) that is best paired with a traditional kir (dry white wine and a drop of cassis liquor).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Due to France\u2019s large Persian and Lebanese populations, there are plenty of excellent Middle Eastern restaurants to be found throughout the city. One of the best is Colbeh (22 Rue Mouffetard).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A trip to Rue Mouffetard would just not be complete without a stop at Gelato d\u2019Alberti (45, Rue Mouffetard) an Italian ice cream shop that serves stunning multi-flavor cones in the shape of a large flower.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located on the left bank, Paris\u2019 5th arrondissement is known among locals as a foodie haven.
