Pho 14
I lived in the Chinese Quarter when I first moved to Paris, and boy, did I take it for granted! The 13th arrondissement is full of authentic Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese restaurants, owned and managed by those who made street food in their native countries. If you want a real sense of Asian food outside of Asia, this is the quarter in Paris to visit — and if you want Phở, this is the place to go. The traditional Vietnamese rice-noodle soup, made with (typically) beef, bean sprouts, mint, and cilantro, will leave you so full, you can’t breathe (in a good way). If soup isn’t your thing, try Pho 14’s Bún thịt nướng, a cold noodle dish with beef, deep fried dumplings, and vegetables. Pho 14 does have a few vegetarian options, however, their signature soup is cooked in beef broth.
