POTALA RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Paris

I usually forget to post reviews, but I am doing it as I eat in this restaurant, before I fall into a food coma. Lately I have been trying to get over my fear of eating alone in a restaurant, and so the energy of the establishment when I enter is important.

The Buillon is that and nice umami flavour, but fresh and packed full of vegetables, which makes it feel very fresh and healthy. And the other food items are nice and fresh, not over cooked or too salty/spicy. It’s perfect, and only a few minutes from the Gare du Nord station. I think this might be one of my favourite eateries...

It is a shame to serve something like this. We received 1,5€ discount for the inconvenience 🤣Absolutely cannot...

We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking to Gare du Nord and decided to give it a try and I am so glad we did! We absolutely loved everything about this restaurant.

The staff is super friendly and the ambience is pleasant. This restaurant is much better than all the Indian restaurants near Gare du Nord. We will come back here during our every...
