Alef-Bet
A tricky one to categorise, this bold red-and-white food space named after the first two letters of the Hebrew alphabet is a kosher café and cooking-school-cum- épicerie. The essential principle sees a cultured crowd mingle in an open kitchen for a one- to three-hour cooking course, after which they share the fruits of their labour around a beautifully laid table.

La Boule Rouge
Though this Tunisian stalwart has been in situ for three decades, the ‘Red Ball’ has been getting a lot of press – good, bad or otherwise – only since Monsieur Sarkozy was spotted dining here. It’s a lovely space, with a wonderful caravan mural on the ceiling and photos of politicians and celebs on the walls. Some of the couscous dishes served here – mince with okra, spinach, spicy chicken with corn – are unusual and the three-course menu includes an excellent array of kemia (vegetarian meze) plus a drink.

Les Ailes
With an adjoining bakery and delicatessen, ‘Wings’ is a kosher North African (Sephardic) restaurant that has superb couscous with meat or fish (€18 to €24) and grills as well as light meals of salad and pasta (€11 to €19.50). Don’t even consider a starter; you’ll be inundated with little plates of salad, olives etc before you can say shalom. Sabbath meals (pre-ordered and prepaid) are also available.

Sacha Finkelsztajn
Known in some circles as ‘La Boutique Jaune’, this very ‘yellow shop’ has scrumptious Jewish and Central European breads and pastries, including apple strudel, poppy-seed cakes and sernik (Jewish cheese cake).
