French-Asian fusion dishes, blood sausage wontons, ginger pork belly
"Run by Franco-Filipina sisters Tatiana and Katia Levha, this decade-old neighborhood restaurant blends pan-Asian flavors with French technique, always emphasizing seasonality and sustainability. The kitchen made its name with adventurous preparations like veal brains and sweetbreads and continues to turn out memorable dishes such as raw scallops with sour cream and chili crisp and a magret de canard served with carrot purée and a spicy jus. Expect a charming dining room (notable ceiling moldings), attentive service, and dinner prices around €40–€50 per person before wine." - Eleanor Aldridge
"On the watch of Katia and Tatiana Levha, two Filipino sisters, this place has blossomed into one of the most popular bistros in Paris (booking essential). The interior puts its best foot forward, showing off its period frescoes. Tatiana put her English studies on hold in order to indulge her twin passions of eating and cooking! Trained in the establishments of Alain Passard and Pascal Barbot, she creates lively and cheerful cuisine, French but with a good measure of Asian influences. Indeed, just the right amount of chilli is used to spice up a number of recipes. Particular care goes into the sauces and jus, such as the soy and chilli butter on the pork and langoustine ravioli, and the saffron bisque and rouille served with sea bass, fennel and kale." - Michelin Inspector
"Born in 2014 in the 11th arrondissement, this neo-bistro initially drew diners thanks to chef Tatiana Levha’s training at Three MICHELIN-Starred L'Arpège and L'Astrance, but it’s the precise cooking and creative twists—think line-caught red tuna with roasted squash and sriracha, or a soft-boiled egg with chanterelle mushrooms, Savagnin butter, walnuts and summer truffles—that keep people coming back, making it one of the most hard-to-book tables in Paris." - Sophie Friedman
"Parisian dining has a reputation for being a little stodgy at times, what with the ubiquitous gilded interiors and price fixe-only menu—but at Le Servan in the 11th, you’ll find neither. Instead, chef Tatiana Levha, and her sister, Katia, offer up a short but sweet a la carte menu of Asian-inspired classics that changes pretty much daily. As for decor, it’s all neutral, with a brass-top bar. Walk-ins fare well at lunch, but make a reservation for dinner."
