Caché entre deux enseignes sans âme du faubourg Saint-Antoine, ce minuscule resto ne paie pas de mine au premier abord. Déco kitsch assumée, murs ornés de portraits du Dalaï Lama, et tables serrées comme dans un wagon de train bondé… Mais une fois installé, le voyage commence : ici, on sert les momos les plus savoureux de la capitale. Bienvenue au Bar à Momos, la pépite tibétaine du 12e.

Homemade momos to die for

The restaurant's must-try? The momos, of course.

These little ravioli from Tibet, prepared before your very eyes, are lovingly stuffed with pork and chives, beef and onions, spinach and cabbage and cheese, or potato and ginger and garlic.

Order them by the 8, steamed, fried or dipped in a hot broth. Special mention goes to the pan-fried version, dipped in a spicy soy sauce that's just right.
But the Bar à Momos doesn't stop there. It also serves ultra-refreshing soups, such as Thukpa, a spicy broth topped with homemade pasta, or the more rustic Tsamtang, made with grilled barley flour and minced meat.

And for those who like it crunchy, try the Shapaley fried XXL momosCrispy on the outside, melt-in-the-mouth on the inside.
Everything is cooked just like at home, with simple but well prepared ingredients. The result is a generous cuisine that's good for the body without being too heavy on the stomach.

Cool formulas and low prices for big appetites

You don't have to sell a kidney to eat here. Plates range from 11,50 € et 14,50 €, the soupes copieuses autour de 12 €and the formule Momos à 15,90 € allows you to try a bit of everything: ravioli + soup, perfect for those who are undecided (or greedy).

Support services (riz, pain tibétain vapeur, légumes) sont à moins de 4 €, et les desserts oscillate between 3,80 et 5,20 €.
Try sho dui, a Tibetan cousin of rice pudding, sweetened with yoghurt: a curiosity well worth the diversions.

On the drinks front, a fine wine list and a selection of house cocktails.
But to extend the experience, we encourage you to try the Tibetan tea aux pétales de fleurs, goji et longanes (3,80 €), doux et floral, qui colle parfaitement à l’ambiance du lieu. Une bière Kirin à 3,50 € pour les soirs entre potes, et c’est parti.

 

A confusing décor... but who cares?

On vous prévient : si vous cherchez une adresse Instagrammable, passez votre chemin. Le Bar à Momos, c’est plutôt ambiance Conforama tibétain, avec ses tables en mélaminé, ses luminaires datés et ses affiches de Bouddha façon poster de lycée. Mais justement, on s’y sent bien. Pas de chichi, pas de déco trop léchée. L’important est dans l’assiette. Le lieu est petit, bruyant, vivant. On y vient entre collègues, en solo ou en couple, et souvent on partage sa table avec un inconnu — une immersion parfaite dans l’esprit cantine. Et même si c’est plein, le service reste rapide et souriant.
