Pâtisseries orientales selling North African sweets make up most of the French entries, 18 of the 41 places, and their reviews mention tcharek, makroudh, qalb el louz and baklava. Marseille has three: Pâtisserie orientale Tanite by the Marché des Capucins opens at 6 AM daily, and the Pâtisserie Orientale on Rue Pavillon, reviewed for Tunisian fricassé, opens on weekdays only. Tiss Bechir on Rue Droite in Narbonne and Atelier de Murat in Alfortville, which also sells filo pastry, are reviewed for baklava. Beyond France the page turns to Levantine, Persian and Afghan baking: Pastelería El Libanés in Valencia for falafel and baklava, Lazeeza in Bremen for kunafa and halawet el jibn, open from 10 AM to 10 PM daily, Tavazo on Ballards Lane in Finchley for Iranian sweets and nuts until 11 PM, and Watan Bakery in Southall for Afghan bolani. In Jaén, Delicias Lamia serves Moroccan couscous and pastilla from 10 AM to 4 PM.
