The area between rue sainte-Anne and rue d’Argenteuil was the birthplace of the capital’s first Japanese restaurants. Today, it is home to an increasing number of Korean establishments, including Bistrot Mee, which offers a pleasant new take on the genre, with its large wooden tables and tapas-style portions allowing you to sample everything. Squid fritters, pork and kimchi ravioli, warm potato salad with sardines and spices or, for those who don’t mind a bit of spice, a decadent whelk salad with watercress and cucumber: there’s plenty to explore Korean flavours for just €6 a plate. Then there’s a whole host of dishes, from the classic bibimbap crackling in its bowl to grilled mackerel with white radish, not forgetting an excellent japchae, translucent sweet potato noodles sautéed with beef and vegetables. A good address, friendly, with fast service, very useful after an exhibition at the Louvre or before a show at the Opéra Garnier!
