CODA — Restaurant in Paris

I dined here a few days ago with my wife for our trip to Paris. I appreciate the kindness and friendliness of the owner (sorry I don’t know his name) who cooked and served at the same time. Even though we had some language barrier, he explained all the menu to us from the entree to the dessert so that we know what to order. He even offered us some Kimchi (we’re Koreans and thus have very strict standard in terms of Kimchi haha) that he used for his entree after knowing that we’re from S. Korea and asked for our feedback. The Kimchi was not as spicy as we liked, but it was pretty good considering it’s made in Paris by a French chef.

It's rare to find a restaurant in Paris with such attention and care towards their menu.

With every visit, there is a new original and surprising element to their food intended to highlight the quality of their ingredients.

Thank you for all of your hard work and inspiring creativity! Pauline and Vincent, you are...
