Do et Riz — Restaurant in Paris

This restaurant is the best Vietnamese restaurant I found in Ile-de-France so far. What’s really special about this place is that they use fresh ingredients and everything is freshly homemade. The food here is truly excellent even by Californian standards. I went back to this restaurant many times, and among all the dishes I’ve tried, my favorite ones are: Appetizer-steamed Vietnamese rice ravioli (this is a standard dish that you can find at many Vietnamese restaurants but this restaurant does it the best!); mango salad with squid (this dish is so incredibly fresh and refreshing, with peanuts and fresh mint sprinkled on top)

Plat-monk fish with passion fruit-peanut sauce (I have never had any dish that mixes passion fruit with peanut sauce, and the combination is simply magical!); margaret du Canard; coconut curry with aubergine, shrimp and rice noodles (this one goes very well with rice but you can also eat it by itself); I also especially love their Bo Bun beef, which in my opinion is the best Bo Bun in Ile de France because their beef tastes very fresh and only lightly marinated (unlike at most other Vietnamese restaurants where the beef is heavily marinated and doesn’t taste fresh at all), and not salty at all.

Dessert—everyone loves their “Coco au lait avec Tapioca, mangoes et bananas”; I also love their passion fruit mousse (it’s amazing!); their banana cake is also the best banana cake I’ve ever had at any Asian restaurant (including the Vietnamese/Thai restaurants in the U.S.)

They have both indoor and outdoor seating; very nice clean bathroom; they have English menus upon request. At lunch time they have a “lunch formula” of very good value; depending on what you get this can range in price from 14 euros to 22 euros (3 course meal). During lunch time they can be super crowded and you might have to wait for a table. Lots of locals come eat here or order takeout.

All in all, this is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Ile de France. If you’re used to good Asian food in the U.S., you’ll...

This place could be charming, and could be Vietnamese, as it claims to be. Never tasted more blend, tasteless Asian food. A shame, because it could easily be good. The crab and chicken cakes were dripping with frying oil, and tasted blend, dipping sauce also blend. The Pho-soup lacked every trace of fish- sauce, ginger, chili, coriander, cinnamon, garlic, spring- onions and other greens and veges. Although the stock was said to be cooked on chicken, it tasted nothing. A pity, since the chicken and the noodles were ok. Soup was served without fish sauce, chili, and other spices/veges (you get some it if you ask for it, and yes, there was a bit of a lime there), and lacked the most important spice of all: love. You cannot serve food like this in Paris. The staff (friendly) said they followed managers recipes, and did not taste themselves. Manager: You cannot do this to Paris. Good thing: it will not take much to make it...

Open all August ! This Vietnamese restaurant has many good vegetarian options too. Beautiful and considerate service but be ready to wait a bit if you come at lunch time 1pm ! Come early or a bit later and it is easier to find a spot. Favorite place is eating at one of the four places in front of the cooks. they have opened a second location right down the street on the left hand side, with exactly the same menu. so if the first location of Do et RIZ is filled, try their second location ! One or the other location across the street (rue cotte) will be open all the...
