You like Asian cuisine
Want delicious chicken noodles? Vegetarian gyozas? Or even re-visited pad Thai? In Paris there is a multitude of asian restaurants that make us salivate. If your mom is a big fan of it, you'll be spoiled for choice. Among the must-sees are institutions such as the Shanghai Palace, the only starred Chinese cuisine restaurant in Paris. At the house of diep, the Chinese restaurant that has been all the rage for years, rue de Ponthieu. We can also advise you Bamboo for a dinner with an ultra-trendy atmosphere. Chef Antonin Bonnet has chosen to offer authentic Thai cuisine, without mixing styles. The menu offers many Asian specialties from different regions of Thailand. And for those who live in the West of Paris, we also advise you at Thai, a safe bet where the welcome and the quality of the food is always at the top.
Our favorite ? It is at Taokan that we find exquisite flavors in an intimate and elegant setting. Ebony tables, comfortable beige armchairs, soft lighting, we plunge into this zen and cozy atmosphere where the Parisian hubbub seems far away. As for the cuisine, it's a real colorful culinary journey that Taokan offers you thanks to Christian Daine. On the menu ? Beautiful pieces of duck, beef or chicken taken on teppan. When it comes to fish, the offer is just as tempting. Caramelized salmon, steamed sea bass fillet drizzled with soy sauce with herbs, scallops glazed with miso.
