Police said a gunman opened fired with a Kalashnikov at a Cambodian restaurant called Le Petit Cambodge late on Friday, killing at least 14 people and injuring 20.
Residents in Paris were asked to stay indoors as attackers could still be on the loose, French media reported. About 1,500 soldiers were deployed in the city following the simultaneous attacks
Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Paris, said: "Certainly from the very first moment the police were searching from various other bars and restaurants they were asking people to clear out bars and restaurants in the area. Clearly, police are very concerned about other potential targets."
Police evacuated people from all bars and restaurants in the area of the 10th and 11th arrondissement, a popular part of Paris with young people and tourists.
Madeline Berry, who was dining at a restaurant in the area, told Al Jazeera: "I was just having some food with some friends. All the sudden we noticed people moving to the back of the restaurant.
"They basically shut the shutters of the restaurant and turned the music off. People are calling their families, everyone is on the mobile phones calling their families."

"We stand prepared and ready to provide whatever assistance that the government and the people of France need," he said, and pledged to "bring these terrorists to justice and go after any terrorist networks" involved.
"Those who think that they can terrorise the people of France or the values that they stand for are wrong," Obama said.

"At this time, my thoughts are with the victims of these apparently terrorist attacks, and with their families and all residents of Paris," Merkel said in a statement.
