An outstanding depiction of Chinese restaurants by a Japanese chef, that draws attention to French ingredients cooked with a variety of Chinese flavors. The most noteworthy dish for me was duck cooked with different spices, pre cut, and served perfectly pink, flavorful and juicy. Coffee, as a great finish for any good meal, is of excellent quality here, roasted by Brulerie Belleville.

Japanese quick-service restaurant serving udon noodles and tempura.Sanukiya, in the 2nd district near Opéra, is a really cool place, I love it. Their specialty is udon, the big tick noodles. I usually go with the Hiyashi tempura udon, which has vegetables and big shrimp in tempura and you pour a very umami sauce on top of it. Another favorite is the kakuni, a pork belly that's slowly cooked and they serve it with hard boiled egg in a sauce with a little bit of mustard on the side.

Fresh Vietnamese food in the 13th district.I love going to Pho Tai with at least four people so we can order everything. It's a Vietnamese restaurant that has very good and fresh food. Try at least the bánh cuon, poulet croustillant (crispy chicken), nems and riz cantonnais!There are always people waiting outside to get a table. It's a place where you don't really stay long, you eat and then go for a walk.
