Shiso Burger, the bao burger restaurant in Saint-Michel

Are you torn between a banh bao and a burger? If so, here's a concept that should make you happy: the bao burger. It's the specialty of Shiso Burger, an ultra-gourmet restaurant whose first address is near Châtelet. Parisians were so taken with the idea that the brand opened a second location, this time in the Latin Quarter near Saint-Michel.

In this exotic address facing the quays of the Seine, you'll discover a ceiling covered with lanterns and ikebana (Japanese floral art), ultra-colorful neon lights, in a luminous, wooded setting. Here, you'll be able to sample a dozen different bao bun burger recipes , which are lighter than ordinary burgers but still terribly tasty.

Among our favorites is the Bulgogi Burger with marinated beef and Korean chili and teriyaki sauces, a must-try for fans of sweet and savory dishes. Another not-to-be-missed recipe is the salmon burger with crispy salmon and miso sauce. Vegetarians won't want to miss the Toad burger with its Portobello mushroom!

To accompany these gourmet burgers, you're bound to be tempted by the spicy fries, but the best of all are the ultra-melting sweet potato fries. You can even try kimchi, the Korean specialty that has won over the palates of Parisian gourmets!

For dessert, you can finish on a cool note with iced mochi or green tea ice cream. Or opt for mochi daifuku, a more classic version of this Japanese delicacy, or cheese cake with yuzu or matcha. For those who prefer more classic flavors, the safe bet is chocolate fondant with a runny heart!

So, are you ready for this culinary voyage?
