Restaurant in a spacious and airy place far from the Parisian effervescence.
The new Yam'Tcha of Adeline Grattard is located a few metres from the first address converted into a tea shop and bao's bar (Chinese brioche). The place is bigger and more airy. The refined design is still elegant and neat. In the glass-fronted kitchen, you can see the chef and her team preparing European dishes on which she adds subtle Asian touches thanks to a sauce or an ingredient. You pair all the dishes with wine, but what is most appreciated are the pairings with teas from the four corners of China that Chi-Wah Chan, the husband of Adeline, knows like the back of his hand. You can first be sceptical, but at last, you must admit that these pairings are transcendent, whether with langoustines or a line-caught sea bass. The menu cleverly consists of 7 dishes. You discover them little by little because it's not displayed on a card. The combinations are made with impressive accuracy, which deserved it a Michelin star.

Members' reviews on YAM'TCHA
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Some highlights were the rice stuffed squid with lemongrass and the lychee soursop dessert. The service for the tea pairing was very warm and welcoming! Otherwise, service was very cold. I am all for coping with mediocre service if the food is good. However - The menu felt like something Chat-GPT had spewed for a fusion Chinese and French restaurant. The combination of cheese and bao, and fuyu truffles Parma ham and chilli oil in the vegetable dumpling simply didn't work for me. Suggest to spend your money elsewhere.
