A Vietnamese canteen full of color and flavor recently opened its doors in the 17th arrondissement, a stone's throw from Place de Clichy. Here you can savor delicious Vietnamese dishes, lovingly prepared by two friendly cooks who clearly know how to handle flavors and revisit the country's culinary specialties to perfection.
We order a Bo bun Cà Hôi (salmon, soya, honey) - original and tasty - and a beef Bo bun with lemongrass, both made withrice vermicelli, organic carrot & cucumber, onion, soya, coriander & fresh mint, peanuts and accompanied by homemade egg rolls with organic quinoa, coriander, edamame and laughing cow: a real treat!
When it comes to drinks, James Bun doesn't make it easy: mango or lychee juice with basil seeds, coconut water and nata de coco, aloe vera juice, ginger ale, jasmine bubble tea or homemade green tea - it's all so tempting it's hard to choose!
The dessert menu is also full of surprises. Even if you're (really) no longer hungry, don't say no to the fondant la belle Hanoi with its coconut heart: a real treat!
There's no doubt about it: James Bun's cuisine is as appealing as his storefront and its acidic-retro universe. And while the terrace is a delight in fine weather, we're already looking forward to comforting ourselves on its colorful chairs next winter.
As we leave the restaurant, our mouths are full of this James. Not Bond, but Bun this time!
