Double Dragon

I was walking hungry on Rue Saint-Maur in Paris at noon when I came across this restaurant. You could see the kitchen activities through the glass and to be honest, that attracted me, of course, plus the menu behind the window. I had a very good experience, because I usually prefer to eat fish to control my cholesterol, and I was served one of the most delicious fish. Fresh and well-cooked, the roasted fennel and the juicy side of the fish were perfect. Along with a small bottle of warm sake served in a beautiful little glass and a first-class mango ice cream dessert. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. I will definitely go back to the Double Dragons restaurant to experience the food again. The attitude of the staff and the service are very good, my only complaint might be the decoration of the shop. I understand that the restaurant is supposed to be close to the spirit of Asian restaurants and simplicity and minimalism are crucial , but I wish better paintings were chosen for the decorations!

One of the best and favorite restaurants in Paris. It’s a fusion of Philippine and French food, and all the dishes are so delicious. The restaurant was packed when we got there. I highly recommend making a booking before going. We loved the beef tartare and BBQ chicken. The flavors were unique, the meat was tender, and the chicken was well-seasoned. We also loved the rice bowl with bacon, eggs, and crispy garlic. It was so good that we had to order it again. We will definitely come back next time and cannot wait to try other dishes. Thank you!

Really tasty food. Went for a mixture of dishes and they were all excellent. Good natural wine selection as well. Service was very good too. Will be back soon!

GREAT place!!! Make sure to try the Korean Fried Chicken. Would come to Paris just for that dish. Cozy place. Great for drinks and eats with friends.

Excellent food and cool vibe - could easily be in Brooklyn or LA. Portions were generally *very* generous for the price... we over-ordered because we like to try a lot of things, and had quite a bit leftover. Drinks were complex and delicious. There were no bad bites!! A total highlight of our trip to Paris. Thank you for a great experience.

Modern Asian cousine. This small restaurant has already been notified by Guide Michelin as a place worth visiting. Not a "Michelin-star" place though, price level is affordable and style is laidback. Menu is variants of more or less traditional asian food, with their own twists. Like rice with bacon and herbs. Food is tasteful and not too spicy. Tables are small and the place is not very big. Best suitable for couples or small groups of friends. I recommend this place for good food for an affordable price. Tuesday night and the place was fully booked, so making reservations is probably a good idea before going there.

Had a good meal at Double Dragon. Quality ingredients and tasty recipes. Particularly appreciated the twists such as the terrine with Sichuan pepper. The service was decent but seemed a bit distracted at times, without the polish that would make it sing. Going with a small group (4+) would enable trying everything (or almost), but even with two we were able to get a good selection.

7.5/10 overall. Would have been an 8 if the octopus was on point. Overall a pleasant experience. Can’t fault the staff. Cute intimate vibes. 1️⃣ kimchi bao The mayo made this. First time having deep fried bao buns - game changer. Absolutely slapped. 2️⃣ smoked Normandy steak tartare Probably the best steak tartare we’ve had. It was giving smoked negroni vibes. Top 20 dishes we’ve had in Europe, can’t lie. 3️⃣ peanut salad with kare kare sauce Most elevated basic leaves we’ve ever had. Highly addictive and moreish. Standout dish for sure. It’s a must order. 4️⃣ mushrooms & tofu with xo sauce First experience on proper tofu for Remi. The XO sauce is was beautiful and one for the mushroom lovers for sure. We only had small 2 pieces of tofu, not sure if we got unlucky with the portioning? 5️⃣ bbq grilled octopus with potatoes and adobo sauce On paper this sounded beautiful. But in reality, it was a fail. First time round, it was over cooked. Super chewy business. After sending it back, it came cold. Eventually we just sent the whole dish back. I think if we came at an earlier time, rather than the final shift, this would have been more on point. 6️⃣ cocktails The cocktails were minimal. But definitely recommend the one with Jasmine tea. If you’re into natural wines, definitely give them a whirl. It’s just not our usual drink. Total cost: €73 / £63

Double Dragon is owned by the same two sisters that own Le Servan just down the road from Double Dragon. After eating at Le Servan, we were recommended to stop by Double Dragon. Being Filipino myself, I was very intrigued by the offerings at Double Dragon. I was quickly impressed when I saw crispy pata on the menu. Accompanied by the well curated Asian menu is a great selection of natural wines from different regions of France. It was a great experience to pair wine with Asian food. Great place! I would visit again. Ansel Ponce Diama

This was the first restaurant we visited in our Paris stint and to say we were excited to finally have some updated, creative Parisian cuisine would be an understatement. And to finally have some updated, creative Parisian cuisine at a place with as much "buzz" as Double Dragon? Well that was just icing on the cake. So how was it? It was decent I guess- nothing to write home about. I would've rather had French food or Chinese food separately. This version of Asian fusion wasn't as good as either of the cuisines it combined. The restaurant was a bit tight and crowded and all the other patrons seemed to really enjoy their food. Not sure what they saw that we didn't see... Service overall was good, but there are many, many (many) other Asian fusion restaurants in the U.S. that execute this style so much better. We wouldn't return.

Great service and delicious food, though the portions are a bit smaller than what you might be used to and the prices might be a bit higher, but are still reasonable. No reservations, however, so get here as soon as possible to avoid waiting.

So, without contest our worst meal in Paris. Every dish we ordered was... just not good. The tuna was not fresh and tasted metallic. The pickled cucumbers legit taste like jarred dill pickles you'd eat with a tuna sandwich. I was expecting pickled vegetables with an Asian flare - sesame oil, cayenne, salt and lime juice or sugar but... it tasted like canned sandwich pickles and was really uncomplimentary to our other sub par dishes. The corn was super dry, and the shrimp in the shrimp wontons were over cooked. The crab was ... a lot of oil and a lot of fried flakes of... tempura? The two of us were still hungry after our four dishes but scared to order another so we walked down the street to get a snack elsewhere. The watermelon tea was good and the service was great also so I'll give them that. The decor is clean, nice and very hip. I really wish the food was better or that there was at least one dish that was memorable.
