Mitao: the 9th arrondissement spot where an Asian canteen and a comforting tearoom come together!

In the very trendy neighborhood of South Pigalle (SoPi), close to Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur, a visit to Mitao comes highly recommended. This discreet neighborhood restaurant, though well known to regulars, has built a reputation over the past few years that extends well beyond the 9th arrondissement of Paris. Why? Because here, everything is homemade, with an abundance of passion and a sure touch.

The concept behind this inviting spot is clear and easy to grasp: it’s both an Asian canteen and a tea room with a sweet tooth. Every day, Jade’s team works hard to serve authentic, generous dishes, enjoyed on-site in an intimate setting or taken away for those in a hurry. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the gentle prices (lunch deal from €9) make you want to come back.

A delicious Asian canteen, good for the body as well as the taste buds

At Mitao, the short, ultra-fresh menu gets straight to the point with homemade dishes prepared using quality ingredients. Try:

• handmade ravioli, with a choice of fillings, of course (beef, pork, chicken, veggie, or a colorful assortment)
• bowls with salmon (the Mitao bowl) or a veggie option (the Buddha bowl, made with braised tofu)
• bentos, including the Teriyaki bento with marinated chicken

These dishes are characteristic of Mitao’s ambition: refined cuisine that is always full of character and accessible thanks to its affordable prices.

The tearoom and its homemade pastries

And for those with a sweet tooth, you won’t want to miss the cakes Jade makes every day with care and creativity. You’ll find:

• timeless classics that will take you back to childhood: raspberry tart, lemon loaf cake, yogurt cake, chocolate fondant...
• and reinvented cakes with an Asian twist for a touch of surprise and originality: the financier, delicately scented with matcha; Thai flan made with pandan leaf, wonderfully creamy...

With its sweet and savory specialties, Mitao is the perfect spot for an exotic lunch, a treat with friends, a solo sweet escape, or even a romantic date over hot chocolate or tea and a lovingly made pastry.

Mitao is the ultimate feel-good spot, perfect for a wonderful time on your own, as a couple, or with foodie friends. How about spending your next sweet break here?
