Comme au Vietnam, Vietnamese restaurant in 13th arrondissement, Paris, France.
Comme au Vietnam is a Vietnamese restaurant in Paris's 13th arrondissement serving pho, banh mi, and other dishes made with ingredients and techniques from Southeast Asia. The kitchen focuses on traditional recipes executed through hands-on cooking methods that honor their authentic origin.
The restaurant emerged during the wave of Vietnamese migration to Paris in the latter 20th century that reshaped the 13th district. This settlement movement led to the formation of an Asian quarter defined by establishments like this one.
The name evokes the idea of eating 'as in Vietnam,' reflecting how the decor and service style recreate the country's relaxed dining culture. Visitors immediately experience this setting as a window into Vietnamese eating customs.
The place opens Tuesday through Sunday with two daily service times, making it simple to find a convenient slot to eat. Visitors should expect busier periods during typical lunch and dinner hours when reservations may be helpful.
The restaurant sources ingredients from local Asian markets in the neighborhood, giving the dishes an unexpected freshness that visitors might not assume a Parisian establishment could achieve. This ingredient sourcing makes the difference between merely recreating flavors and delivering genuine Vietnamese taste.
