The best pan-Asian food in Paris, according to the experts: Michelin Guide, Le Fooding, and The 50 have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Ze Kitchen Galerie comes out on top.
More Less
Brigade du Tigre and Oktobre hold the next two places. Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Le Fooding next.

Rank 1. Ze Kitchen Galerie
Pan-Asian
A windowed kitchen lets you watch the team work, which sets the tone: this is a Michelin-starred restaurant where the cooking is the show. William Ledeuil built his reputation weaving Southeast Asian roots and spices into classic French technique, and the room around it matches that mix, designer furniture sharing space with colorful paintings. Lunch draws the savvier crowd for the same kitchen at a notably gentler price.

Rank 2. Brigade du Tigre
Pan-Asian
The black sesame onigiri stuffed with aged comté is a reasonable summary of what this two-floor Asian bistro is doing in the 10th. The team behind Eels, both trained with William Ledeuil and clearly serious about the continent, turn out fragrant small plates that wander cheerfully across Asia without stopping to explain themselves. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place that makes the neighborhood feel quietly smug.

Rank 3. Oktobre
Creative Pan-Asian
A creative restaurant on the Left Bank street where philosophers once argued, Oktobre brings a similar restlessness to the plate. The chef sources obsessively and cooks with a loose, confident hand, pulling in Asian spices and fermented flavors alongside French technique. Cuttlefish pasta, miso beurre blanc, sweetcorn curry: the combinations sound unlikely until they don't. The room is warm and the mood runs lively.

Rank 4. Soé
Pan-Asian
A narrow former bistro on rue Beautreillis where the set menu reads as a love letter to Asia written entirely in French ingredients. The chef spent serious time on the continent and brings that back through condiments, sauces, and spices that fold quietly into fish-market catches and free-range poultry. Korean ssamjang turns up on Basque pork and somehow feels inevitable. The room is charming in the way that matches the cooking: considered, warm, and not trying too hard.
