Mam'Ayoka Pajol
Paris, France
The read// why locals go
Mam'Ayoka Pajol has fed the Esplanade Nathalie Sarraute in the 18th since 2016, a small independent kitchen with an unusually broad dietary range. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and halal options are all recorded here, which is rare enough in one address that it solves the standing problem of finding somewhere a mixed group can all order from. Tables spill onto the esplanade when the weather is good, mains run around €18, and food can be taken away. A local food blog has named it a neighbourhood favourite. The setting is the open, rebuilt stretch of the 18th, and the room fills with people who live and work nearby.
