Dim sum, ravioli, hotpot: how to choose?
For a quick lunch in Belleville or the 13th arrondissement, the steamed dumplings and noodle soups are unbeatable: count on €10–15 and you'll leave full. For a dinner with friends, the Sichuan hotpot (pot simmering in the centre of the table) is an experience to be shared — noisy, generous, addictive. For an event or a date, aim rather for the tables contemporary Chinese gastronomy which revisit heritage with precision.
