Dersou, Asian-influenced restaurant in Bastille, Paris, France
Dersou is a restaurant in the 11th arrondissement that serves five and seven-course tasting menus with Asian and French influences. The space features raw concrete floors, matte wooden tables, and an open kitchen where you can watch chefs prepare your food.
The restaurant opened in 2014 and takes its name from Akira Kurosawa's film Dersu Uzala, which tells of a friendship between a Russian explorer and a Mongolian hunter. This choice of name reflects the cross-cultural approach that shapes the restaurant.
The restaurant blends French cooking techniques with Asian influences, and you can taste this fusion in every course served at your table. The dining experience shows how two culinary traditions can work together to create something new.
The restaurant is located in the Bastille area and operates in the evenings on weekdays plus weekend lunches as well. Arrive early or book ahead to secure a seat, as spots fill up quickly during peak dining times.
Each course pairs with custom-made cocktails designed to match the flavors and textures of the dish, creating a cohesive taste experience. These drink-and-food combinations make every visit feel like a personal taste journey.
