Marmite de Boeuf sur Paris

23/01/2026: Le Bourgeon d'Or is my favorite Chinese restaurant. (And I've lived in the 13th arrondissement for 15 years, which probably gives me some credibility!). They serve Szechuan cuisine (hot pots, twice-cooked pork), nicely spiced, and amazing rice paper wrappers, which you don't find everywhere. Everything is homemade (except the spring rolls!), so be sure to try the steamed dumplings too. Well done, and thank you to the waitresses (especially the youngest one, who will recognize herself, is always incredibly friendly and funny).

20/01/2026: The hot and sour shredded potatoes and fried rice were both delicious. The spicy chicken was nothing like Sichuan spicy chicken, but it wasn't bad. The salt and pepper fish fillets were a complete failure; definitely don't order them.
