Over the last year, I have patronized this Mme Shawn location 3 times. The first time I came for dinner in June 2020 with a friend who had already been before and recommended it. We arrived around 8 PM, and the restaurant was not yet busy so we had our pick of terrace seating. The restaurant has a pretty varied menu, with a wide selection of noodles, curries, rice, etc. My friend and I each ordered a curry dish - she a red curry with a side of sticky rice, I a green curry with chicken and a side of regular white rice. My green curry was very flavorful and filling; I would happily order this again. My friend was very satisfied with her red curry. I will say that the spiciness level is probably tailored to western tastes, as I have a weak tolerance for spice and found the curry very easy to handle.
In addition to our mains, we ordered an appetizer of fried spring rolls and a dessert of mango sticky rice to split. Both were delicious; the mango sticky rice especially is a must. I found the desserts to be a bit expensive, but in comparison to the other restaurants I've seen in Paris, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Our server was efficient and reasonably friendly (again, by Parisian standards). We had a very long meal since it was the first time my friend and I had seen each other since Covid confinement, and we were pretty undisturbed for the 3-ish hours we spent at the restaurant.
The 2nd and 3rd times, I ordered delivery from this location via UberEats (July 2020) and Deliveroo (December 2020), respectively. The delivery time was reasonable both times and on both platforms, despite us ordering on rainy Friday evenings both times. I got the tofu (vegetarian) pad thai and the mango sticky rice both times I ordered, and they stood up to delivery very well. The pad thai portion was generous and had 2 types of tofu; all of it was really tasty and satisfied my cravings well.
The restaurant is conveniently located a very short walk from the Rome métro station (line 2). The area is very lively, with many other restaurants and cafés nearby. read more
