Chipotle

When the USA's eminent Mexican fast food chain Chipotle opened a branch in Paris a couple of years ago, locals didn't take to it right away – after all, 'fast food' is a far more toxic term here than Stateside. But don't be put off: this neat little joint actually serves up a thoroughly decent meal. They may not be 'gastronomic' like the menu proclaims, but the sandwiches (€9) and various salads are a notch above what you get elsewhere in Paris (if not quite up to El Nopal's standards). Burritos are endlessly customisable – you pick and mix a wide variety of (mainly organic) ingredients – and wonderfully flavoursome. Fast food in name and speed of delivery only, Chipotle is a welcome addition to the capital's growing Mexican food scene.
