Description

Come inside this pretty restaurant in the heart of St-Germain-des-Prés to enjoy light and fragrant Cantonese cuisine that also occasionally veers over to Southeast Asia: the obligatory dim sum, duck breast with hoisin sauce, soft-shell crab sautéed with pepper and fresh chilli. Lovely presentation and good ingredients: a real ambassador for Chinese food.

Review summary

Taokan, located in Paris's Saint-Germain district, offers Chinese cuisine in a comfortable setting. Many guests praise the diverse menu featuring duck, seafood, and desserts, alongside generally efficient and hospitable service. However, some reviews highlight concerns regarding value, citing small portions relative to expectations. Additional criticisms include inconsistent meal pacing, bland flavors in certain dishes like dim sum, and disruptions caused by delivery personnel entering the premises. While suitable for family gatherings and traditional Chinese dining, visitors should maintain realistic expectations regarding portion sizes and overall cost-effectiveness.
