Kaya toast
Shirley B.

We had high hopes for the The Hood - having Singaporean and Malaysian food so far away from home -but it missed the mark in both taste and flavor. The roti canai and curry was €8!!! It came with one paltry room temp roti, and a curry that was literally a paste made of curry powder and water. VFC, €11.5. Looked promising and would have been tasty had it been hot, or even mildly warm. But it arrived below room temp and the meat was almost cold on the inside as you got to the bone. The mayo was not bad and akin to a thousand island dressing. 3 meat rice plate, €21. If you're going to go down the rice plate path, I'd recommend skipping the roasted chicken entirely. And the rest of it was just so-so. Roast pork was cold and gelatinous. Roasted chicken cuts were mostly gristly skin and barely any meat. And the supposed star dish, the Hainan chicken was not delicate as it should be. The chicken was not tender and the skin was rubbery. Sauces were decent. Soup lacked salt. Kaya toast, €8. It tasted like pandan flavoring and was green, but the toasted bread it was piped onto was tough and hard to slice through even with a knife. Teh tarik was €6 for the 'iced', which came with no ice, but was cold. You'll pay a whole extra euro for that luxury. It was dense and not a light, frothy and milky pulled tea like it should be. Lots of potential here, but it seems as if they are just going to do the bare minimum in taste and flavor in comparison to the real thing and hope that the locals won't know the difference.

Ate here on October 19th, 2023. Upon entering the restaurant, sweet aromas filled the air immediately. Encouraging sign. I had already studied the menu prior to ordering, but Zoey (owner) gave a couple of recommendations such as the Cauliflower with onions/green onions small plate. I can't recall the ingredients it was braised in, but it was so flavorful and felt cleansing! I don't usually eat cauliflower but how this was prepared made me a believer. I could eat just this dish with a bucket of rice. I Also ordered the VFC (Fried Chicken), Satay with peanut sauce, and the Hainan Chicken that was accompanied by a SPANKIN chili sauce. I mean when you're making noises eating each dish, that speaks monuments. All the meats were so juicy and you could tell there was emphasis on attention to detail for every ingredient. It felt like a home cooked git down! All the nuances of each ingredient were hitting the palate without overpowering one another. We finished off with dessert which was the Pandan chiffon cake & Kaya. The texture was so much fun to eat as much as it was delicious, and that pandan jam was the cherry on top! Not too sweet! (I think that's the Asian in me saying that) Staff is super friendly as well. Zoey chopped it up with us about Paris local eateries/nightlife and gave us other recommendations in the 11th, which is easily my favorite district with the plethora of drinking and eating spots. It's a district that is bold with cahracter. Every establishment should learn from Zoey, who has a charming, welcoming, and hospitable presence. Will recommend to anyone visiting Paris!

Great local experience

Amongst the many espressos we had sitting on Bistro patios in Paris, we also found The Hood - a small friendly "local" coffee shop. It was a scorcher in Paris and we had been walking up and down the canal all day. I just needed an iced pick-me-up. The iced latte hit the spot. The friendly service and relaxed atmosphere really put us back in the mood to get out and keep exploring the city.

The atmosphere was nice and it seemed to attract both locals and tourists / foreigners living in Paris who wanted bowl food and coffee. Friendly staff but not so great food.

Cute little spot in the 11th. Came here for brunch. Menu is simple and tasty. They make banging coffee, so if you're into your flat whites etc.. this is a good spot for you. Friendly, casual service and good food.

Mouthwatering.

As a traveler, I enjoy immersing myself in others' culture. This is a hidden gem off the beaten path and worth a visit if you are looking for a quiet place near French residents (and away from tourists) before starting your day. Their breakfast is great with a creative spin. I had the breakfast sandwich (egg, ham, and sweet potato as a spread). Omg! You won't be disappointed. Baristas are skilled, too! See photos.

This place has a cool vibe and positive attitudes.

1st of all, when you walk in the staff is very friendly. I had a cappuccino and my husband had a coffee of the day, both were delightful. We both ordered the eggs, bacon and baguette. It was very tasty. We especially loved the music and décor of this place. It is very welcoming and comfortable.

But have you ever dined out in a bathtub or bed?…read more At first it seems like a cute vegetarian cafe/brasserie along the canal- unassuming and fairly standard. Vegetarian dishes are the highlight here, meat and eggs can be added for extra. Then you walk upstairs and see the uniquely decorated "home" that puts a new spin on "eating in". We came for the weekend brunch 12-3pm. All orders placed at the counter consisted of a couple croissants, a light entree, a dessert, and all you can have coffee, juice, baguette, butter, and jam for 24€. We were given the pastries, and a buzzer to collect our entree and dessert when they were ready from the basement kitchen. So you'll definitely need to be with people who can walk up and down stairs while holding plates- and maybe more than one plate if someone needs to hold a spot at tables. It is pricier than other brunches nearby, but it is also a novelty and part of what you're paying for is the unlimited nature of the buffet and time you will occupy the adorably decorated but limited space.

Devoured and loved the vegan cookie here! Seriously 5 stars go to the vegan chocolate chip cookie,…read morechai tea & adorable set up. The veggie salad was filling and also vegan You feel like you're in a vintage Parisian home, make sure to sit upstairs in one of the rooms (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, or dining room) Staff was very kind and helped me with translating French to English. Great place to relax from walking or snag a quick bite.
