About
Empire du Ravioli is an authentic small Chinese canteen located in the 13th arrondissement, specializing in homemade dumplings. This tiny yet lively restaurant attracts a diverse crowd of neighborhood Chinese, students, and Asian cuisine enthusiasts who enjoy freshly prepared dumplings. The menu offers about ten dumpling varieties, with lamb-coriander and pork-cabbage being particularly popular. The establishment stands out for its simplicity, dumplings made to order by an expert duo of cooks, and very affordable prices (around €12 for 15 dumplings). The atmosphere is typical of a Chinese canteen: noisy, convivial, and unpretentious, with a grayish tiled floor and characteristic red facade.
