The Best Chinese Food in Paris

The red facade stands out on a street in the 19th that's been quietly gentrifying for years. Inside, it's polished concrete and bare walls, with an open kitchen where an Australian chef of Philippine origins folds French technique into Chinese flavors, and somehow the seams don't show. The room fills with the kind of Parisians who found the neighborhood before you did, which is fine, because the food is the reason to make the trip anyway.

A Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in the 17th where the menu changes with whatever chef Yoshi Nagato feels like doing that day, which turns out to be a sound policy. The room is soft and cosy, the plates are precise and generous, and his partner handles desserts with the same care. A solid list of organic and natural wines rounds things out for the crowd who always seems to know exactly which bottle to ask for.

A Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant steps from the Champs-Élysées, where the Peking duck arrives whole and is carved tableside with the kind of ceremony that makes nearby tables quietly jealous. The kitchen leans into imperial tradition, dim sum, slow-braised dishes, and recipes that feel genuinely old. The room is formal enough that a blazer won't feel out of place, and the front-of-house team arrives ready to walk you through all of it.

The half Peking duck, ordered two days ahead and served in two courses, tells you everything about this relaxed Cantonese neo-bistro in the 11th. The chef spent years at Shang Palace before opening something looser and louder, with aproned servers who actually talk to you and a deliberately short menu that resists the urge to cover every province. The room is convivial in a way that feels earned rather than designed.

The menu is a chalkboard, the room is no-frills, and the Cantonese cooking is the whole point. This small dinner-only spot in the 16th sources Cotentin blue lobster and line-caught sea bass for dishes that taste like someone actually cares where things come from. The dim sum are made with real care. At lunch, the team runs a fusion street food operation at a nearby address, but evenings here are a different, quieter proposition.

Cantonese fine dining inside the Shangri-La, where the room goes full imperial: lacquered panels, low lighting, and the hush of somewhere that takes its tablecloths seriously. The kitchen leans traditional, with Sichuan detours when the mood strikes, and a dim sum menu at lunch that draws the locals who know how to spend a Thursday afternoon. Peking duck arrives in two services, because of course it does.
