Tunisian pastry on Boulevard de Belleville
The Rose of Tunis Oriental Patisserie is an independent Tunisian pastry shop on Boulevard de Belleville, in Belleville, and the first thing you meet inside is the display case of oriental cakes, with bread and savoury dishes alongside. It is the kind of place you step into off the street and leave with a box under your arm.
The mille-feuille is the one to order first: crisp layers, well filled, and the pastry people name as the reason to come. The gazelle horns, crescent-shaped and almond-filled, are balanced. Baklava and pistachio pastries hold up for a late dessert run, and the assortment boxes, sold by weight, let you try the whole range of Tunisian cakes in one go.
Savoury food is part of the shop too. Plates of Tunisian couscous come with semolina soaked in sauce, harissa and tender meat; white beans arrive in a spicy chili-infused sauce, and the pasta is well seasoned. Portions are generous. The lemonade is compared to sherbet, and the matlouh bread is very good.
Spending stays low: the range runs from €1 to €10, and a box of pastries by weight is the sensible way to buy. Ordering through delivery apps pushes the prices up, so buying at the counter is the better value. Come before the 10 pm close on a weekday evening and the case is still full.
The shop suits anyone chasing Tunisian cakes in Belleville rather than a full weekly shop.

Who is this for
This shop suits anyone who wants a box of Tunisian cakes to take away, especially if the mille-feuille and the assortment boxes are the goal. It also works for a late dessert run in Belleville, since the doors stay open until 10 pm most evenings. And if you are after a proper savoury plate of couscous or beans rather than something sweet, the kitchen covers that too.
If you need spices and semolina to cook North African food at home rather than finished pastries, Epicerie Sabbah Produits Orientaux a minute away covers that.
The verdict
This is a swing-by for a mille-feuille or a box of cakes when you are already in Belleville rather than a destination to plan a day around.
