Gemüse

Tucked away on a quiet street in Montmartre, Gemüse brings the beloved Berlin kebab tradition to Paris with a delicious vegetable-forward twist. The name itself—German for “vegetables”—hints at what sets this spot apart from the countless kebabiers scattered across the city. Here, the produce shares equal billing with the protein, resulting in sandwiches that feel surprisingly wholesome without sacrificing any of that satisfying street food appeal.

The star of the show is their house-marinated spit-roasted chicken, but it’s the supporting cast that steals the scene. Each sandwich overflows with a colorful medley of roasted and raw vegetables—tender carrots, charred peppers, perfectly cooked zucchini, and crisp slaw all packed generously into sesame-studded bread. The housemade sauces elevate everything: a garlicky white sauce that adds creamy richness, a fiery red harissa for heat seekers, and their clever take on Big Mac sauce called sauce algérienne.

The line here often snakes around the corner, but don’t let that discourage you. Service moves with impressive efficiency, and the wait gives you time to build anticipation for what’s coming. When ordering, do yourself a favor and skip the wrap—the sesame-topped bread holds up remarkably well against all that sauce and filling, maintaining its structure bite after saucy bite.

Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch that won’t weigh you down or seeking out some of the best street food Paris has to offer, Gemüse delivers on both fronts. It’s proof that affordable eating doesn’t have to mean compromising on quality or flavor.
