Right in the heart of Paris, by the famous Saint-Michel fountain, hides a street food counter: Foou. Here you can sample traditional Baos and savor an authentic Bubble Tea.

At number 2, boulevard Saint-Michel, you'll find an excellent gourmet spot: Foou, the Street Food counter where homemade Baos are king. Attached to the famous Saint-Michel fountain, this delicious little corner of paradise offers a palette of flavors that will delight fans of Chinese cuisine. Enjoy unique, tasty Chinese baos and authentic Taiwanese bubble tea.

Here, the culinary skills of a Japanese and a Chinese chef come together to create traditional and creative Chinese baos, filled with fresh and delicious ingredients. Discover the baozi with pork and cabbage: a stuffed, steamed bun with a soft texture and unforgettable flavor. Traditionally eaten for breakfast or as a snack, it can be enjoyed at any time of day.

Foou also offers a wide range of formulas and menus:

  • Bao 8 formula: choice of 2 large Baos or 4 small Baos (8€)
  • Formula Spicy Fried Chicken at 10.8€ : Starter with a small vegan bao (+0.5€ to change to another small bao), followed by a main course with a basket of fried chicken coated in slightly spicy Korean sauce. Extras include Bubble Tea for 4.5€, a drink for 2€, two mochis for 1.5€, or a homemade cookie for 2€.

Among the large Baos on offer were the Burgerman and the vegetarian Pizzaman, as well as a variety of small Baos such as chicken curry, glazed pork and vegan. For our part, we loved the finely spiced fried chicken and the lacquered pork bao.

And to accompany this delight, nothing beats their original TaiwaneseBubble Tea, the perfect refreshing drink to accompany your chilling meal. We were tempted by the classic version with brown sugar and tapioca pearl, a must-have.
