Just a few steps from the Aligre Market, 21G Dumpling, a Chinese restaurant, offers classic Taiwanese dishes: hearty, homemade dim sum, including the famous Xiao Long Bao, served hot and ready to enjoy.

At 21G Dumpling, you're invited on a culinary journey through Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Shanghai.

Homemade Dimsums Made Fresh Every Day!

The kitchen team crafts a different selection of handmade Dimsums every day, each one bursting with authentic Chinese flavors made from carefully chosen ingredients. We're particularly drawn to the Siu Mai with duck confit served in a rich Hoisin (BBQ) sauce, as well as the grilled dumplings (Guo Tie) filled with farm-fresh chicken and accompanied by a homemade satay sauce.

For fans of steamed Chinese cuisine, don’t miss out on the Xiao Long Bao! These delicious dumplings are filled with savory meat and that iconic, flavorful broth that bursts in your mouth with every bite—a true explosion of tastes.

21g was the first restaurant in Paris to make this their specialty and to bring it to the forefront of the local scene. Most notably, they serve it 100% fresh, with a thin Taiwanese-style crust, adhering to the 21-gram standard — which breaks down to 5 grams of dough and 16 grams of filling.

Iconic Asian Specialties!

The menu at 21G isn’t just about Dimsums. Alongside these signature dishes, guests can also explore Bao burgers, marbled eggs, and crispy Taiwanese-style fried chicken, all served in a warm, communal atmosphere.

Food enthusiasts can indulge in GUA BAO, available in chicken, duck, or pork versions. Don't miss the Farmer's Dongpo pork belly with bok choy, or a comforting bowl of wonton soup—those classic pork and shrimp dumplings, perfect for chilly winter days.

For a lighter option, the Sago Mango (tapioca pearls, coconut milk, mango) or the black sesame crème brûlée are sure to satisfy your cravings.
