Saigon Étoile — Restaurant in Paris

We LOVED the delicious food at this hole in this lovely, very authentic Vietnamese restaurants! Such a gem to find in Paris. Both their ‘standard’ Vietnamese dishes (like pho) and more regional variations were well done.

We are Singaporean, have been to Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh & eat a ton of Vietnamese food in the Bay Area so were delighted to find so many specialities: -Bun Cha: our favorite dish. Well grilled, juicy meats paired very well with the fresh vegetables & rice noodles. Our parents ordered this both times we came! It’s not easy to find this dish so we were happy to. -Pho: we had both the Pho Ga & regular pho. Both were delicious. And came with bean sprouts all the fixings. We ordered fresh cut chili which might be one of the spiciest types we’ve had! -Banh Cuon: one of my fave viet dishes. So good. -Banh Xeo: tasted just like any other version I’ve had! -also tried the Canh Chua with fish which was new to me (I thought this was Banh Canh - my mistake) and so fragrant & wonderfully sour. The fish was fresh & tender. There were chunks of pineapple inside too. My husband wished he’d ordered it!

Service was genuine & friendly. Will come back here any time. If it was in our neighborhood we would be a regular!

We made a reservation for our second visit online. The restaurant fills up quickly at...

Ate at this small and cosy restaurant when staying in the area for a few days. It was an absolute FIND! It has a family style feel to it, very friendly and happy to make any adjustments we asked for in the menu (e g add vegetables etc).

The food was super fresh and very tasty. We had rice noodle spring rolls with very tasty dipping sauce (not too oily and not too sweet, like it can be). Then stir fried chicken (all white meat) and vegetables (every single vegetable was cooked to perfection) and a noodle bowl with shrimp. It was the perfect temperature (not sizzling hot so you can't taste the flavours) and with fresh veggies and fresh mint and spices mixed in. Incredibly reasonble prices (glass of house wine = 4 Euros!!). I will come back EVERY time I...

Best Vietnamese restaurant in Paris!

We've been here once since 2018, returned again in 2022, and we were definitely not disappointed. Only one waiter yet the service is still super quick. He speaks both Vietnamese and French, super friendly! The space is a bit small and the tables are bit closed together, but that's only a small set back.

The best dishes here are fish in clay pot, pho bo, crispy fried spring rolls, canh chua; the list goes on and on because everything is so so good and very authentic Vietnamese food. I hope this amazing restaurant will get known more, and definitely try if you want a nice...
