Named after a beach in the Mexican port town of Puerto Escondido (renowned for its surf-friendly waves, glorious sunshine and fine traditional Mexican cooking), Zicatela is a small restaurant serving big, generously piquant dishes, just around the corner from the Folies Bergère in the 9th arrondissem*nt.For an immediate hit of spice, kick things off with a brilliant traditional pozole soup with pork or chicken, chilli, lime and white cacahuazintle sweetcorn (€6)...

Perhaps you’d have to be crazy to stand in a queue for 40 minutes of your lunch hour, just to pay €11 for a burger. But, such is the power of the street, the new chic. Feilders’ menu covers burgers and tacos, including a Tex-Mex burger...
