Gumbo Yaya

Unclaimed

I’m so glad I found this spot and only sad it didn’t exist when I lived in Paris all those years ago. It is a pretty small establishment although when the weather is good I imagine it must be nice to sit outside. Ordered waffles and chicken (the hot version), and it was wonderful! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside (perfect). Waffles were delicious, served with maple syrup and whipped butter. I washed it all down with a delicious Dr Pepper and couldn’t have been happier.

The food here is amazing. The softest waffle I have ever eatten in my life. The chicken was crispy, perfectly seasoned with mild spices and wasn’t even a little bit greasy. You may have to queue to get in but take that as a sign of just how good the food is. The establishment is very small and the only improvement I can see happening is them getting a bigger store. As a British tourist who absolutely loves Paris, this is my second favourite place to eat there now. I don’t speak very good French and they were very helpful and spoke English with me (i’m trying to learn). I would eat in again but even if you didn’t you could take this to a local park to eat and it would still be so worth it. Please check out the hours before going because they close mid day. We each spent the equivalent of £20 (£24 euros each or something). We had each had a drink a meal and a waffle to take to the park. It was a bargain.

Delicious chicken and waffles! The only downside is the place is pretty small so I won't come with a large group, and you might have to wait. We came around 14.00 and had to wait 20 mins, which wasn't too bad. Will definitely visit again if I'm craving fried chicken in Paris!

My family and I walked about 20 min from Parc de Belleville and it was absolutely worth it. We wanted dine in but didn't want to wait for a table so we the food as take away. As soon as bag of food was given to us, we could smell the chicken and waffles coming through the containers. Once we arrived to our hotel, we all ate the food without even heating it up and it was still so good. The waffles don't even need any syrup and chicken was fried just right. Don't sleep on the Mac n cheese. You've been warned.
