Feb 3 the ultimate food guide to Paris

Voila. Here you go. You’re welcome. You’ll never be hungry in Paris again.
In just one click here you will have everything your belly might be looking for in Paris.

Ok, I admit, I am most visibly a Rive-Droite kind of person but it must be because I have only ever lived there (10th and 11th Arrondissements) and didn’t spend as much time to the South of Seine. I promise to fix that as soon as I have an occasion! I’ll also appreciate any of your recommendations in the comments below.

Some of our favourites (you know, the ones you dream about when you realise the food scene in London has nothing to compare itself to Paris… Paris 1:0 London):

La Taverne de Zhao

We were lucky to live right in front of it when it opened few years ago and the very first time we stopped by… we new that was the shit. In my opinion - one of the best Sichuan restaurants in Paris. Our favourite menu for 2 gourmands as we are would usually include several sharing plates: liang-pi classique, platycodon, pork momo and chicken raviolis.
No booking possible but don’t expect a big queue.

Higuma

Our favourite ramen in Paris. Combo ramen + gyoza only 11.0€ and I’m talking about the real ramen here, comparable to those we tried in Japan. No booking possible and very long queues any time of the day. Definitely worth it though!

Street Bangkok

Ok, it might b a bit too spicy for my taste but even if only for its satay chicken skewers, it has to be on top of my list. Tried to make it home several times, never got it right.
You will find the same menu in Canal Saint-Martin and Bastille locations. The newly opened one in Rue Saint-Denis has a different menu, equally good and perhaps less spicy!

Le Petit Cambodge

I have never eaten a better bo-bun than this one. It is on a more pricey side but never EVER disappoints. We have our go-to order here: Bobun spécial mixte (with both shrimp and very tasty beef) and Saucisse à la citronnelle for a starter is a must. Wonderful citronnade with ginger and mint.

Yemma

A more recent discovery but one that made its way to the list of our favourites right away. It’s a Moroccan fusion place (even though they do serve more traditional cous-cous and tagine) and our favourite: kazdal sandwiches wrapped in an (apparently) traditional Bangladeshi pastry.

BigMamma Group

You can’t go wrong with this one and the biggest plus is that you can find their locations all over Paris. In all of them - the best pizza, pasta, tiramisu, drinks and other fresh straight-from-Italy produce.

Jules et Shim

Very good Korean bibimbap just on the side of Canal Saint-Martin. Take away for the very fun packaging and enjoy it in the sun.
