7 great Korean restaurants to celebrate K FOOD Week in Paris

Want to travel by taste? K FOOD Week is coming to Paris from October 13 to 19, 2025, the perfect opportunity to (re)discover the richness of Korean cuisine in the capital.

What is K FOOD Week?

K FOOD Week is a culinary event organized in Paris to highlight Korean gastronomy. For a few days, participating restaurants offer special menus, signature dishes and unique experiences based around K-food (Korean cuisine). It’s an opportunity to discover traditional or modernized flavors, fusions, fermented or spiced ingredients, with chefs who emphasize their Korean identity. The idea is to encourage curiosity, showcase outstanding Korean addresses in Paris and promote cultural exchange around the table.
