The 49 Best Fusion Restaurants in Paris, Chef by Chef
Fusion has a bad reputation, and some of it is deserved: truffle oil on a California roll, a menu that tours five countries and gets none of them right, a trendy room charging extra for the confusion. Instagram loves those places. Your dinner won't.
The fusion restaurants in Paris worth your evening are different. They're built on a chef's own story, like Africa and Japan, the Philippines and French bistro cooking, Réunion Island and a Michelin star. We kept 49 of them after cross-checking Michelin, Le Fooding, The World's 50 Best and more. See also our Asian food picks and the Michelin 1-star list.

How fusion restaurants in Paris earn their place
The test is simple: can the chef explain why two cuisines share the plate? On this list, the answer is usually a family, a childhood or a career spent between two kitchens. Most of these restaurants are small, busy and on the pricier side, so book early and use the filters above for neighborhood and budget.
Personal stories, Michelin stars
Mosuke par Mory Sacko, in the 14th, is where the former Top Chef finalist writes a third cuisine between West Africa and Japan: flamed langoustine tail, stuffed okra, Aubrac beef with shea butter. In Batignolles, Kelly Rangama's Le Faham serves Réunion Island flavors with a Michelin star, like tandoori monkfish with poached rhubarb and rum pairings. Near the Louvre, Granite marries French cooking and Japanese precision, with scallops on koshihikari rice. For more of this level, see our fine dining selection.
The bistros that started it
The 11th arrondissement has almost a quarter of this list, and it's easy to see why. Le Servan, run by the Levha sisters, puts boudin noir in wontons and pours natural wine. Its casual sibling Double Dragon and the Filipino kitchen Reyna are a short walk away. Café du Coin turns the old troquet into a tapas bar with sourdough pizzetta. Explore more in our 11th arrondissement page.
Plates for the whole table
Fusion loves sharing. Frenchie, on rue du Nil, pairs a five-course menu with a banoffee pie that regulars talk about. At ChoCho, French, Catalan and American ideas meet in plates to share, like scallops with raw foie gras and pressed beef tongue. Shabour, in the 2nd, serves Israeli-inspired plates at a marble counter with a Michelin star. Find more in our small plates and the Fooding Award winners.
Asian accents, French technique
William Ledeuil's Ze Kitchen Galerie brings Thai and Vietnamese flavors to Saint-Germain, and his Kitchen Ter(re) pairs heritage-grain pasta with Asian broths. Brigade du Tigre, near Poissonnière, holds a Bib Gourmand for its grilled-pork nigiri and caramelized chicken. Franco-Korean tables are well represented too; see our Korean restaurants. Most places sit in the mid-to-high price range, so lunch menus are the smart way in. Open any place to check its must-try dishes, prices and review summary.
