Chinese restaurants in Paris

  1. A

    La Chine Masséna

    This enormous restaurant specialising in Cantonese and Chiu Chow cuisine is a real favourite in Chinatown; to ensure it would have good joss for the coming year we fed the dragon lettuce at the last Lunar New Year celebrations. The dim sum here is especially good and women still go around the dining area with trolleys calling out their wares.

    La Chaumière en Chine

    Parisians in the know would warn you against eating in ethnic restaurants outside ethnic quartiers, but the Chinese embassy just down the road from this place makes it a notable exception to that rule. The largely Chinese clientele favour the crevettes au sel de cinq parfums (prawns in five spice salt) , the canard aux champignons noirs (duck with black mushrooms) and the dim sum.

    La Fleuve de Chine

    Here you’ll find the most authentic Cantonese and Hakka food in Paris and, as is typical, both the surroundings and the service are forgettable. Go for the superb dishes cooked in clay pots. La Fleuve de Chine can also be reached through the Tour Bergame housing estate at 130 blvd Masséna.

    Tai Yien

    This is usually where we head when we are looking for a fix of rice or noodles, especially late in the evening. It’s a Hong Kong–style ‘steam restaurant’ and the real McCoy: it’s hard to imagine better char siu (barbecued pork) outside Chinatown.

    Da Jia Le

    Don’t cross town to eat noodles or dumplings here but if you’re in the neighbourhood of Paris’ original Chinatown and need an Asian fix, the ‘Big Happy House’ will oblige nicely and put a smile on your face.

  6. Les Pâtes Vivantes

    This is the Latin Quarter branch of one of the few spots in Paris for hand-pulled noodles (là miàn), made to order in the age-old northern Chinese tradition.

    Happy Nouilles

    Nouilles means noodles and this is the place to taste the real Chinese McCoy hand-pulled for your pleasure in the window.
