Mastering the Fire: Grilling and Smoky Flavors

It's the house's standout strength that draws in connoisseurs: open-fire cooking. From the moment you enter, the aroma of the grills announces the tone.

• Whole grilled sea bream, tender lamb chops or flavorful skewers... The open flame imparts a subtle smoky, authentic note you won’t find elsewhere. Far from soulless electric cooking, here they take the time to sear the meats and fish for a burst of flavor on the palate.

The quirky signature dish: XXL savory crepe kebab-style

Chouchou also stands out with an original concept that's already taking off: the XXL savory crepe revamped. Forget ordinary bread—here the generously loaded filling (house-made meat, fresh veggies, secret sauces) is wrapped in a huge, fluffy crepe. It’s the perfect option for those after a more indulgent, non-traditional take on the kebab. A complete, satisfying meal in one go!

House-made kebab, couscous, and hearty portions

“Homemade” at Chouchou isn’t limited to the grills. The kebab is made on site, with meticulous attention to the quality of the meat and the spices. For fans of traditional dishes, the couscous is a must: fragrant, served in generous portions, and prepared like at home. Whether it’s the sauces, the sides, or the marinades, everything is crafted in-house with a freshness standard that hits you from the first bite.

The perfect place to go before or after the theater

With its prime location in the heart of central Paris, Chouchou is the go-to spot for:

• A quick, quality dinner before catching a show at the theater.
• A convivial meal with friends after a stroll along the Grands Boulevards.
• A foodie pit stop for those who demand the real thing in the heart of a buzzing neighborhood.
