An address with a decoration signed Jacques Garcia offers a cuisine with neo-Chinese and Asian flavours.
Since its opening in 2011, this address, whose decoration is by Jacques Garcia, has attracted an often chic clientele around a broad spectrum kitchen. New Chinese? Asian? Fusion? What importance is truly attached to Jean-Louis Costes' success, given that it is based on a global consumer experience rather than a true gastronomic proposal. Who is this Lily Wang? As for the legend, this woman is a dancer and cabaret singer from Shanghai in the 1950s, "a woman of perfect beauty" who disappeared overnight, probably because of her links with the mafia, of which she was a spy... The story doesn't say much more. But let's go back to what's in Lily's dishes because that's what interests us the most in the end... If the menu seems at first glance to be adorned with the colours of the Orient with beef, mint and basil spring rolls, a Shanghai jian jiao, a caramel coconut stewed pork or a grilled chicken with lemongrass pepper and curry, among others, we are quickly brought back to the arrival of the dishes on the highly marked out costumes and Asia seems nothing more than a vague pretext or a distant souvenir of a trip. Despite the heavy addition, Lily Wang is still worth the trip for its neat atmosphere and its terrace with breathtaking views of the Invalides. It should be noted that, a short gluten-free card would be welcome, as this intolerance develops.
