We'll take a bite of a crazy veggie dwich at Curb!

A delicious smell of street food wafts through Clignancourt Street. Yes, it's street food, but make it veggie, please! Curb, the new foodie spot in the 18th district, treats the neighborhood with cheeky seasonal dwiches and bowls, all 100% veggie. What's on the menu? A Magic Mushroom Melt filled with roasted mushrooms and caramelized onions; an Eggcellent that perfectly blends scrambled eggs and cheddar; and a Going Back to Cauli featuring chili crisp hummus and fried cauliflower with zaatar. Everything is made fresh on-site, packed in a nice, warm bread, and can be switched to a bowl (at the same price because we’re nice like that). We round it all off with some smashed potatoes topped with gooey cheddar and a homemade drink, and that’s it!

Open from Monday to Friday from 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM (except Thursday until 3:00 PM) and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM
