Bistro Indochine — Restaurant in Paris

The best Vietnamese restaurant outside Vietnam My favorite restaurant in Paris for its quality/price.

The best Vietnamese restaurant I've seen outside Vietnam. (Everything else I've tried outside Vietnam falls far behind the very best in Vietnam). In fact, this is perhaps the best Vietnamese restaurant. Period.

I returned to this restaurant four times this summer, bringing two foodie friends who agreed with me. Considering the quality of the food, I think this restaurant is not at all expensive by the Parisian standard. The chef clearly uses very fresh ingredients. The rice paper is clearly made fresh in the house (which is very rare outside Vietnam). Moreover, the chef is able to put a few different layers of flavors on the food. For instance, the shrimp in the soup normally tastes like the soup. But here, the shrimp is lightly fried/cooked so there's another layer of flavor underneath the fried surface (which also has its own unique flavor).

I cannot say enough how much I liked the food. Highly...

My cousins took us to their favorite restaurant as a treat.

The owner/ manager gave us a warm welcome. He was very personable. We found out he spoke with fluency at least 3 languages: French (of course), Vietnamese & English. He had no hesitation in answering our questions about himself. He made us felt at ease.

All the dishes we had were tasty and delicious. The use of spices were spot on, complementing the main ingredients instead of overpowering them. I truly cannot say with certainty which of the dishes we had at this restaurant is my favorite; they were all good or very good.

If I have the chance to return to Paris, I will definitely dine at this...
