Maythai Paris: The first Thai brunch and a culinary voyage in the heart of the 11th arrondissement

If you're looking for an Asian-flavored culinary getaway in the heart of Paris, Maythai Paris is the ideal destination. Located at 32 avenue de la République in the 11th arrondissement, this contemporary Thai restaurant stands out not only for its fusion dishes, but above all for its warm atmosphere that instantly transports you to another universe.

But what makes Maythai unique in Paris is its Thai brunch, the very first of its kind in the capital! Served every lunchtime and weekend until 6pm, this colorful and original brunch reinvents classics with a Thai twist, making every bite a sensory discovery. The dishes are not only visually stunning, but also deliciously refined, promising a real "coup de coeur".

Among the brunch must-haves, don't miss the revisited eggs Benedict, served on a slice of fluffy brioche with a peanut and satay sauce, topped with bacon or smoked salmon.

For those looking for a more daring taste experience, the croissant florentine with poached shrimp, coconut galanga truffle sauce, will delight taste buds with its perfect balance of flavors. Fish tacos, another flagship creation, offer an explosion of textures with fish fritters in thin pancakes, sublimated by a combava sauce and a side of Thai herbs and pickled red cabbage.

On the sweet side, the mango-coconut pancakes, inspired by the famous Thai dessert mango sticky rice, are to die for. Served with a passion fruit mascarpone, these pancakes are as beautiful as they are delicious. French toast lovers will also be delighted with the version soaked in pandan and coconut leaves, accompanied by exotic fruits and a chocolate-coconut sauce.

Brunch, while remarkable, is not the only reason to come to Maythai. The menu features a variety of must-try Thai dishes, all homemade with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Among the best-sellers, the shrimp ravioli topped with a shellfish, coconut and galanga sauce is not to be missed. The shrimp pad thaï, made with fresh rice noodles, is often described as one of the best in Paris. For meat lovers, the "Tear of the Tiger" entrecôte, served on a hot plate, is a tender, caramelized delight, perfect with glutinous rice or coconut and ginger.

The Thai burger, the Kaï burger, is a daring alternative for those who want to think outside the box. Comprising a Bao-style bun and topped with crispy chicken, red cabbage coleslaw, cilantro and curry sauce, it seduces with its combination of textures and flavors. The duck breast with tamarind, meanwhile, offers a subtle blend of sweet and savory, with a touch of acidity and exotic fruits to balance it all out.

To finish on a sweet note, the famous mango sticky rice is revisited with black glutinous rice, offering a tastier version than the traditional one, while the homemade mango passion tiramisu ensures a fresh, gourmet end to the meal.

In addition to quality dishes, Maythai Paris embodies attentive service, in line with Auguste Detoeuf's philosophy: "Never complain about a difficult customer, for he is the cause of your progress. Treat others even better: they are the reasons for your profits."

So whether it's after a visit to theAtelier des Lumières, a concert at the Bataclan or a stroll along the Canal Saint-Martin, a stop at Maythai is a must for a moment of relaxation and Thai culinary discoveries.
