French halal restaurants try gourmet cuisine
In a stylishly decorated restaurant in the
heart of Paris, tucked between Bastille and Place de la Nation, Sophia
Tabet is perusing a typical French menu, including foie gras, beef
fillet and duck confit. But unlike other French eateries, this one offers no wine list, and
all food is prepared strictly in accordance with the principles of
Islamic sharia law.
How many more of these restaurants catering to the Muslim gourmet are hidden away in cities around the world? So refreshing to hear rather than a new Halal McDonald's!
