Bonpot, Korean restaurant in 2nd arrondissement, Paris, France
Bonpot is a Korean restaurant in Paris housed in a small wooden structure with chalkboard menus on the walls. The kitchen serves traditional Korean meals in lunch boxes and dinner portions for those eating in or taking away.
The establishment opened in October 2016 and quickly opened a second location in Paris's 2nd arrondissement. Its opening marked an early introduction of Korean dining to the Parisian restaurant scene.
The kitchen prepares traditional Korean dishes like ginseng chicken soup and multiple bibimbap variations. These meals are served in hearty portions that reflect how Korean food is meant to be eaten.
It works best to visit on weekdays when lunch and dinner service are running on schedule. Come with an appetite since the food is served in large helpings that fill up quickly.
A separate tea room operates at the Richelieu street location, offering a quieter space distinct from the main dining area. This additional room lets visitors enjoy Korean tea in a more subdued setting.
