We're off to Place de la République to discover Matcha Ochaya, the new gourmet spot for lovers of bubble tea and matcha specialities! Opened last August, the address is already a great success. If you're looking for a nice bubble tea with a sweet or savoury treat, this is the place to go. And if, as an added bonus, you like matcha, this is the winning combo for you.
On arrival, it's hard to miss the address, as its pink cherry blossom-trimmed storefront doesn't go unnoticed. Inside, after the playful swing, a large, full-length counter reveals itself on the left, before several tables with green banquettes on the right. Therestaurant-tea room has 2 floors. Upstairs, there are alcoves with banquettes and small tables for two.
If you're coming for lunch or dinner, note that the menu offers Bibimbaps with beef, chicken, shrimp and even vegetarian dishes (between 13€ and 15€). Also on the menu, gua baos in shrimp, beef, chicken or vegetarian versions, served with fries if you like. Count €6 for gua bao on its own and €8.80 for the rather generous version with fries. Good and hot, you'll have a great time. You can accompany it with fritters, takoyaki and chicken wings.
Desserts (between 7€ and 8€) range from matcha and sakura ice creams to pecan, matcha and mango mille crêpes. The curious will be tempted by the crepe rolls and other taro tapioca desserts. The fresh mango version is a delight.
Of course, addicts won't want to miss out on the wide variety of bubble teas and drinks of all kinds on offer. Expect to pay between €7 and €7.80 for a gourmet drink of your choice.
