Have you ever tried Korean BBQ? Ultra-thin slices of meat, marinated for hours, that you cook yourself on a grill set in the center of the table. It’s a meal that’s both fun (like raclette), incredibly delicious, and very healthy! It’s definitely not vegetarian, though, but your meat-free friends will still find plenty to enjoy on the menu! Here are our top spots across the capital.
Soon Grill
@soongrill
Right in the heart of the Marais, just a stone’s throw from Place des Vosges, Soon Grill is a blend of everything Parisians love: classic, traditional dishes and fresh ingredients (the meat comes straight from the butcher) in a cozy, artsy setting. A treat for both the taste buds and the eyes.
78 Rue des Tournelles, 75003
Guibine
A proud representative of Rue Sainte-Anne, Guibine is a small, authentic eatery where you can enjoy one of the best Korean barbecues in the city. Served with salad and rice, the delicious meat pairs perfectly with mushrooms and glass noodles. A must-try!
Guibine – 44 Rue Sainte-Anne, 75002
JanTchi

While everyone says that Jantchi’s specialty is bibimbap(rice, marinated meat, vegetables, condiments, an egg, and a sauce that’s more or less spicy depending on your taste), the BBQ here also more than deserves its own medal!
JantChi – 6 rue de Thérèse, 75001
Joayo

Joayo – 54 rue d’Assas – 75006
Shingané
Shingané offers a wide selection of meats, fish, and seafood to grill, all in a stunning setting… If you’ve always dreamed of visiting Korea but can’t afford it, this restaurant offers such an exotic atmosphere that it’s the perfect place to tide you over until then.
