La Bague de Kenza
This most delicious of Paris' pâtisseries orientales is on the rue St Maur and it is extremely difficult to walk past it without caving in and ram raiding the shop.
I came on pilgrimages when I first arrived here - rue St Maur wasn't as chi-chi as it's become now and the only well known bar on rue Oberkampf was Cafe Charbon, a bar in a late 19th-century coal merchant's premises.

N.B In French "Orientale" is the word given to things derived
from the Near and Middle East and North Africa (the latter is also
known as the Maghreb)
