Taokan

Come inside this pretty restaurant in the heart of St-Germain-des-Prés to enjoy light and fragrant Cantonese cuisine that also occasionally veers over to Southeast Asia: the obligatory dim sum, duck breast with hoisin sauce, soft-shell crab sautéed with pepper and fresh chilli.

Taokan is a Michelin-selected restaurant in Paris, offering chinese in a setting that stands out for solid execution and dependable quality. It is a useful pick for diners exploring beyond the starred addresses of Paris.
