We don’t know about you, but at Paris Secret, we love ramen. This emblematic dish of Japanese cuisine, which has its origins in Chinese noodle soups, is an ideal remedy for cold and rainy weather. So we’ve selected the best ramen in Paris, to transport you straight to the land of the Rising Sun.
Hakata Choten – one of the most popular ramen in Paris
This is certainly one of the best-known ramen in Paris. People flock here to try the house specialty: tonkotsu ramen. The meat is melt-in-the-mouth and the broth tasty without being too fatty! A great address to try.
📍Location: 16 rue de la Grande Truanderie 75001 Paris
Kodawari Ramen – And its ultra-immersive decor
The temple of Parisian ramen is an obvious place to start. Walking into this Japanese-style restaurant, you’d almost think Odéon was the neighboring district of Shibuya. Jean-Baptiste Meunier, a chef with a passion for Japan, founded this ramen institution in the capital. The décor, based on Japanese yokocho (alleyways housing bars and small restaurants), promises an immersion in both flavor and atmosphere.

Higuma – Accessible ramen
Often a victim of its own success, Higuma is a great Japanese restaurant nestled in the heart of Rue Sainte-Anne. And for good reason: the ramen is simply divine. The pasta is fresh, the vegetables crisp and spicy, and the recipes inventive. An authentic canteen we can’t recommend enough!
📍Location: 32 bis, rue Sainte-Anne 75001 Paris
Ramen Bar – For delicious ramen in Paris
Hidden away in the Passage des Panoramas is a little ramen joint. The Ramen Bar, with its counter seats where you can admire the cuisine at work behind wisps of steam, is one of the capital’s most discreet ramen addresses. In this small restaurant with the air of a typical izakaya, tasty Japanese starters tease succulent ramen in traditional ceramic bowls. In vegetarian, pork or chicken broth versions, and even with soy milk, Ramen Bar offers classic and original recipes for an express return trip to Japan.

We’re not telling you anything if you’re a fan of Asian cuisine: the best Japanese restaurants can be found on this street near Pyramide. As with the other addresses on the street, you’ll need to be patient to enter this restaurant. Dosanko Larmen is a chain from New York, but with the flavors of a true traditional ramen artisan.

Neko Ramen – The most fun
We’re moving away from Rue Sainte-Anne, to discover a newcomer to the game of the best ramen in Paris. “Neko”, or cat in Japanese, has carved out a place for itself in a cuisine already well established in Paris. Sedrik Allani, Neko Ramen‘s chef, went to Tokyo to learn Japanese cuisine. And he graduated from the best ramen school in Japan (and the world), no less. Surely the most authentic ramen outside Japan!

Kotteri Ramen Naritake – for gourmet ramen in Paris
If you’re looking for hearty ramen that will keep you warm all winter long, Kotteri Ramen Naritake is the place for you. Specializing in pork ramen (châshû ramen), this little shop that seems to transport you straight to Japan also specializes in fatty broths. The quantities are generous, as are the fillings, and the meat is as tender as butter. Bathed in fatty noodles surrounded by miso or soy, the pork makes this ramen rich like few other Parisian ramen. You can even choose the fat content of your broth… What more could you ask for?
📍Location: 31 Rue des Petits Champs, 75001 Paris
Ippudo – The ramen reference in Paris
The “Ramen King” himself. Ippudo is the ramen chain that’s delighting the world. And it confirms that chain restaurants can sometimes be synonymous with quality. In these express canteens, just like in the little streets of Tokyo, you can “slurp” – that’s the sound ramen is supposed to make when eaten the traditional way – delicious ramen, light or spicy and fatty, with homemade noodles and tender meats. An adventure that began in a small room of 10 people in Fukuoka, southern Japan, and has now grown to 90 restaurants worldwide. You’ll soon see why.
