Gourmands and gourmets who are used to strolling across the Channel are probably familiar with On The Bab, the Korean street-food chain with strong roots in the UK.
As of May 15, 2019, you no longer need to take the Eurostar to go and have a gueuleton at On The Bab, as Paris welcomes the first French restaurant of the chain founded by Linda Lee .
Right in the heart of Paris's Asian district, at 18 rue Thérèse, On The Bab has set up shop to introduce Parisians to little wonders straight from the streets of South Korea. Lucky for us, this is the first On The Bab outside the UK!
On the menu, starters include grilled ravioli (€5.50), fried rolls with vermicelli coated in seaweed (€6.50), seafood, kimchi or leek patties(€8.50) and fried rice dumplings with kimchi and cheese (€6).
On the main course, On The Bab offers three specialties: On The Rice (Korean barbecue with rice; 14€), On The Rolls (mini rice rolls coated with seaweed and Korean barbecue; 15€) and On The Buns ( baos filled with Korean barbecue; 14€).
On The Bab also offers classic bibimbap in cold or hot versions (13-15€), spicy tofu or kimchi stews (15€) and, of course, authentic Korean-style fried chicken (8-35€ depending on size) with fun sauces: garlic mayonnaise, soy-ginger or lightly spiced .
Hearty, spicy dishes eaten with chopsticks or your fingers, affordable menu, fresh, healthy produce, authentic recipes... In short, On The Bab is a true voyage to faraway lands!
Please note that it's been over 4 years since our last visit, so the place and experience may have changed.
