Dong Huong sur Paris

Still as good as ever! Since 2007 I've been to the Pacific, and in June I took a little trip to Paris. Of course I absolutely had to go back, and well, it was wonderful, exactly the same as before, thank you! ✨️✨️✨️

A warm welcome and delicious food for €6. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Vietnamese food, the pho and spring rolls are good and generous portions, canteen-style atmosphere, highly recommended, affordable prices

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine, just like in Vietnam! The Vietnamese crepe was excellent, perfectly grilled and generously filled. I then had the shrimp skewers with glass noodles. Also excellent. To finish, coconut pearls and coffee. Everything was perfect. The waiter was lovely, smiling, and helpful. I highly recommend it! 👍🏻

The food at the restaurant run by overseas Chinese is delicious.

I came for phở. Paris has no shortage of it, steaming bowls of anise and cinnamon on every corner of the 13th. But we weren't in the 13th. We were in the 11e. The 11th arrondissement, where the cool kids drink natural wine and the bakeries have waiting lists and nobody is walking around looking for a bowl of noodles unless it's been Instagrammed first. And yet. Weekends at Duong Hong mean bún bò Huế. So here we were. In the 11th. I know this bowl. Not from a cookbook, not from a tasting menu. From a plastic stool on the side of a street in Huế, squatting low to the ground with my knees up around my ears, a bowl of something so fragrant and alive in front of me that it rearranged my entire understanding of what Vietnamese food could be. The lemongrass hit first. Then the chili. Then that deep, funky undercurrent, mắm ruốc, fermented shrimp paste, anchoring the whole thing like a bass note you feel in your chest before you hear it. That was years ago. I still see it. The broth. Deep. Rust-colored. That unmistakable slick of chili oil pooling on the surface like a warning you're glad you ignored. The lemongrass doesn't whisper here, it announces itself, sharp and citrusy, cutting through the richness. And then the mắm ruốc, that funky, fermented backbone that separates bún bò Huế from every other bowl of noodles in Vietnam. It's there. Unapologetic. This is not a bowl that's been toned down for timid palates. This is not a bowl that's been toned down for the 11th arrondissement. This is a bowl that says: this is what it tastes like. Keep up or don't. And then the trotters. Pig trotters. Gelatinous, rich, collapsing into the broth like they've been waiting all day to do exactly that. I remember the meatballs from Huế. Light, almost airy, floating in that broth like they had no business being that good. This bowl doesn't have them, it goes older school, more rustic, the kind of cuts that remind you this was peasant food before it was anybody's cuisine. You can't find this bowl in Holland. Trust me. I've looked. The Dutch will give you a fine phở, a decent bánh mì, maybe even a respectable bún chả if you know where to go. But an uncompromised bún bò Huế, funky, spicy, complex, unapologetically itself? That's a rarity. That's a border-crossing bowl. So you come to Paris. You find a spot like Duong Hong. In the 11th, no less, where you'd sooner expect a sourdough starter than a bowl of fermented shrimp paste. You sit down on a weekend. You order the bún bò Huế and you close your eyes and for a second, just a second, you're back on that plastic stool in Huế, knees up, broth splashing, sweating through your shirt, and you remember why you fell in love with this country's food in the first place.

I highly recommend this place! It's a truly authentic Vietnamese canteen: in just a few minutes, I felt like I'd been transported to Saigon thanks to the flavors and the atmosphere. 🍜✈️🇻🇳 #restaurant #vietnam #travel #food

I loved the soup, but the noodles tasted a bit like they were from a factory, it's not my favorite, but on the other hand, there's nothing to complain about regarding the taste, it was great!!!

Food was very good! Staff friendly! Prices were typical for Paris.

I came here 13 years ago as an exchange student and was deeply impressed by their authentic Vietnamese pho. I visited again today and the quality remains the same. Recommended!
