Located near Orly Airport. One of the world's largest food markets, but make a reservation to visit on their website. It's a professional market, so it might not be a good idea to just show up, since it's so big, and temperatures vary, down to 3 degrees Celsius, as well as health and safety restrictions.

Real Thai food, at seriously good prices, served on pink or blue malamine dinnerware, and eaten with a fork and spoon, just like in Thailand. It's not super blow your head off spicy, but the flavor is authentic, and there's chili pots on the tables. The place is very small, best to go around 3pm if you want to eat in, but there's take-away also.
