Xinh Xinh
Vietnamese restaurant — Quartier De La Salpetriere (Paris)
About
Xinh Xinh is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant located on rue des Wallons, away from the hustle of Paris's Chinatown. Run by Mme Tran, this small establishment is dedicated entirely to traditional Vietnamese cuisine, without compromise from Chinese, Thai, or Cambodian influences. The restaurant distinguishes itself through light, subtle cooking that emphasizes product simplicity and refined techniques. House specialties include banh cuon (steamed rice crepes filled with pork and mushrooms), banh tom (shrimp fritters), and especially a bo bun prepared with fresh rice vermicelli, grilled beef, herbs, and peanuts. The sober yet warm atmosphere, the welcoming hospitality of the owner, and excellent value for money make this an essential address for discovering authentic Vietnam in Paris.
