Le Restaurant Bon Paris 16e, the multi-purpose restaurant

Quite simply,"Bon" is the name of this spacious restaurant in the 16th arrond issement of rue de la Pompe. From the chic décor of the entrance hall, with its beautiful visual wine cellar and high tables for groups, to the cosy, light-filled middle room under a glass roof, the library room with its old-fashioned film decor and the large covered outdoor terrace, there's no shortage of choice when it comes to dining at Bon. A separate room can even be reserved for private meals and events.

This 1911 Art Nouveau venue was entirely designed by Philippe Starck. All these features make it a great place to relax on any occasion, from lunch to dinner to brunch, for business or as a duo with your better half.

For lunch, we decided to settle down in the center's luminous dining room, comfortably seated under a beautiful chandelier.

On the menu, the place offers specialties with Asian flavors. Two lunchtime menus are available: starter, main course or dessert and drink for €27.5, or the full menu for €32.5. For our part, we're won over by the place's specialties and new offerings.

For starters, we recommend the Black Bon, a beautiful plank for two to share that brings together several specialties. From tuna snacks to fried ravioli, news and spring rolls, you're in for a treat.

Then it's on to the main course! Our favorite is the Black Code c'est Bon, a marinated cod so tender and tasty that if we had to choose just one dish, this would be it. It comes with a vermicelli patty.

On the novelty side, we try the Soba with scallops snacked with green curry. A dish not to be outdone. Beautifully cooked, with a mild sauce and lovely Thai flavours, it's a lovely combination to discover.

To accompany all this, we opt for the lotus leaf rice. The leaf adds an extra aromatic note to this glutinous rice, which is not to our displeasure.

To finish, we opt for the gourmet profiteroles with coconut ice cream and runny chocolate, and the mango soup with tapioca pearls. The perfect way to end on a sweet note.

In short, if you're looking for an enchanting, spacious setting and the chance to feast on well-executed Asian dishes in the 16th arrondissement, Bon is the place to go.
