The secret to quality cooking is the proper mixing of hot, sweet, and sour flavors, and this eatery nails it.

There's all different types of meats but just isn't what I expected. There's a window out front where you can see these ladies making the sandwiches. The super option means more meat but that didn't help. My sandwich was dry and tbh, a bit bland. We tried the bbq pork, chicken, combo and all were just meh. I was really disappointed.

The Bo Bon Poulet was quite good. The Calamrs Sauté de Sate was fine but a touch over seasoned and a tad oily for my taste but still enjoyable. Had the Legumes Sauté Nature with it. I think that was the first real vegetables dish I've had in Paris (that says more about Paris than this restaurant) I do recommend it if you are in the neighborhood as it is fine, clean and good service, but probably not worth going out of your way for it.

We went to Thu-Thu because it was the closest Vietnamese place from our hotel. And I must say, it…read morewas some of the best Vietnamese food we have ever tasted! We ordered the Beef Luc Lac and the Poulet Agathe, asking for both to be extra spicy, along with some beer. The dishes were perfectly flavored and spiced. The service was outstanding even though they git very busy very quickly with a large party. We were lucky to get a table without a reservation since we came a little ahead of the bustle, since they had to turn away some walk-ins after we got our table. What a wonderful find! We highly recommend this gem of a Vietnamese restaurant. So when other reviewers (that I have read after our experience) claim this is the best Vietnamese restaurant in Paris, I am inclined to agree with them. It is one our best too, anywhere in the world. We were tempted to come back for lunch the next day and try the other dishes on the menu but we had other commitments that made it difficult to squeeze in. But if you are ever in Paris, especially around Montmartre, and you love good Vietnamese food, find your way to Thu-Thu for dinner or lunch; you will not regret it. I recommend making a reservation since you don't want to go there and find the restaurant full and you having to leave without tasting their food!

I love love love this restaurant, so much we returned more than five times during our trip. This is an enchanting family-owned spot with a cute patio and two separate dining areas. Everyone is so genuine and sweet. Service is fantastic and fast when you are hangry. My mum loved to sit and chat with the chef. And we were able to request some items off menu and they were kind to oblige. Such a selection of food choices and the food is incredibly authentic. Prices are so reasonably and for those unfamiliar with Laotian or Thai dishes, they have pictures so you can just point to what you want. Highly recommend the nem nuong (pork sausages), som mou (fermented pork sausage), riz gulant (sticky rice), tam som pou (papaya salad), and the boeuf seche a la citronnelle (beef jerky). The flavors are magical with lemongrass and sweet savory perfect with the pepper jelly sauce. I could rattle off more but just order anything on the menu and your belly was thank you. The dessert menu was the spotlight for my happy joy joy dance. Oooeeemmmgggeee, I found all my favorite desserts that I craved. Th.e haricot rouge glace has the purple beans and so refreshing and yummy. Also fan of the tarot au lait de coco; name says it all. The khao niao ma muang (mango sticky rice) is not too sweet and just perfectly ripe mangos. The lemon sorbet ice cream is the sweetest presentation served in a lemon shell that my nieces refuse to share. Be around people you feed your soul, not deplete it. Lao Viet is a love letter to my inner child. Feed with immense love. Your body will love you back eating here.

I've come to believe that they start when they're ready to work, which at Les Bols de Jean it's 11:45am. However they did allow me to wait inside until the girl is ready to take orders. When she's ready, I ordered: 1) chicken coconut curry with pineapple!!! Thick pieces of chicken, light coconut flavour, soft curry taste, and sweet pineapple together. Turned out to be sooooo good together with the bread. Without the bread it's pretty boring! 2) ground beef with creamy creamy creamy bechamel gratinée, eggplants that actually didn't destroy the soup (I don't like eggplants so I'm sensitive to the taste), sweet onions. This also taste really good with the bread! The buns are freshly baked each morning and delivered from the bakery of Eric Kayser. The menu changes daily. That explains all the preparation they do in the morning thus not being able to take orders. Both soups were made to taste perfect with the toasty bun. The soft crispy bread definitely makes a difference!! It completes the creamy thick soup SO MUCH. It's not a runny liquid soup as I thought. It's more like a bread bowl with lightly flavoured and creamy sauce. Together it's really good. Staff is on and off nice. Generally nice people! Customers are not nice.

Yay!) I had the tomato & ricotta bowl (€8, veggie) and the beef chef bowl (€13 - a kind of hachis parmentier). I liked the veggie one better, but that's down to personal preference - my boyfriend enjoyed the beef. Only downside: they don't offer all their desserts in delivery, only fruits - and my €3.50 apple and pear compote was not great, too sugary and not homemade.
