Lotus Blanc - Paris

We stayed at the hotel beside this restaurant, the man and lady that work there are very nice. Food is fantastic, we even ordered it and my dad was gonna go pick it up cause it was right beside us. She went out of her...way to bring it into our hotel. I highly recommend this place. It was one of our best eats in Paris

There are Viet Namese restaurants, and then there is the Lotus Blanc. Its proprietor, who is host, server and sometimes chef, has made of this very modest-looking restaurant not far from the Assemblée a true temple of Southeast Asian gastronomy. He has been at it...for several decades, such that photos of him and his beautiful wife, with at least the past three French presidents and other politicos, adorn the walls. Cambodian by birth, he has developed dishes of a sophistication that surpass all other Viet Namese or Thai restaurants I have tried. Don't be put off by the small size or lack of glitz in the interior. If you like cooking from this region, this is a restaurant you must try. And all for a very reasonable price..

We took a soup and a regular squid based main course. The owner, a sad face guy, was of the time busy by the phone, managing the restaurant operations. People were wsiting, he never even blinked. I'd leave, but my companion hates such gestures....Finally he was of the phone, we paid and left

This was one of the only places open and near to our hotel. We would have done better to wait for breakfast. The food was mediocre and expensive and was with served stale, crusty rice by a surly old man. We have good, fresh Vietnamese...food in Hawaii. This place would not survive here. Amazingly enough, there are photos of the grumpy Chinese owner with past presidents. The place was almost empty--at the same time almost full--because it is very small and claustrophobic. By far the worst food and service of our trip

Euros for two adults and young children. Food is not fresh reheated in a micro wave chicken was disgusting stale sauce. We asked the owner for his advice and he took us to the bank. Place has no charm and is...dirty too. We were tired as we had just moved that day in our new place
