Le Palanquin - Paris 17e Arrondissement

I'd heard about this intimate little Viet restaurant from long-time out if Paris fans. Tried to get in over Tet weekend, but was politely told I was 3 months late...Very glad I tried again last night. Despite being Monday, the place was packed when we left, with visibly happy regulars. Without asking the lovely owner improvised a special birthday treat for my 13 year old grandson Baptiste. She was relayed by the boss, who was as witty as she was charming. Oh, and the food was absolutely delicious and copious.

Mediocre food. Average service. Way over priced. A rip off! Thumbs down. It’s 2018 and there are so many Vietnamese restaurants that I’m not sure why this place would charge so much for 1/4 of the portion of a regular plate. It’s not fine dining. The restaurant is super small and claustrophobic. Definitively not recommended.

Good restaurant very serious

Very good, as always

Delicious!
