Refined, calm, and beautifully executed. Lai Tcha offers a modern Chinese dining experience in a serene, minimalist setting. The open counter and elegant interior immediately set the tone. Dishes are carefully prepared and well balanced: excellent seafood stew with tender fish, mussels, and shrimp in a fragrant broth, perfectly cooked rice, and light, crisp spring rolls served with fresh lettuce and a rich dipping sauce. Flavours are subtle and precise rather than heavy. A great place for a relaxed lunch if you enjoy refined cuisine and thoughtful presentation.

The steamed buns are delightful fusion of french and Chinese flavors. We ordered the vegetable dishes and they were all delicious, refreshing and balanced. The real surprise and favorite were the two desserts. Highly recommend when visiting Paris for an interesting and tasty meal, and make a reservation! Their cafe across the street is also amazing, different and delicious!

With no doubt really delicious dumplings and baos. Tasty and prepared with care. The staff is also really nice, but even for Paris standards, the price seems to be a bit over the top. If you are okay with that and still want dumplings, you won’t go wrong with this place!

I have been going to her restaurants for 15 years. Both my wife and I think she maybe the best chef on the planet. We have travelled the world and our favorite part of travel is trying local cuisine. We enjoy high and low foods, but have been to many many many michelin starred restaurants including most if not all of the Paris entries. With that being said, I still agree with my wife that she maybe the best chef in the world (also love and go annually to guy savoy who is also in my favorite list). Now that the restaurant is al la carte and you can order exactly what your budget, belly, and mood call for I find it even more inviting than her prior restaurant and her tasting menus. All of the same quality, but you can choose your desires….. My best friend owns a number of chicago restaurants including michelin starred and we told him nothing going into the meal. He said “that was the meal of the year,” and that was from a guy who owns 12 restaurants of all different cuisines. Just go… you will not be disappointed.

Five pieces of dry, stale dim sum for 16 euros, made by people who don't even know what dim sum is, and a 6 euro disposable hand-drip bag of oolong tea. Michelin ratings are incomprehensible.
