The 13th arrondissement is undoubtedly one of the Parisian neighborhoods with the most restaurants. As a popular Asian neighborhood, it is home to a number of high-quality Vietnamese restaurants . If you are looking for certain typical specialties of the country, it is only in the 13th (or in the Belleville area) that you will find what you are looking for.
And that's where the problem arises: there are so many that it's hard to know where to eat. Should you trust Google ratings? They don't always reflect what you're looking for, and the best and worst ratings aren't necessarily the ones we would have given. Some people will look for the cheapest places, while others will look for beautiful decor or friendly service. On the other hand, restaurants in the neighborhood do very little or no marketing. Some don't even have an Instagram or Facebook page, relying entirely on word of mouth.
Like many people, we've gotten into the habit of always going to the same places, which is a guarantee of quality, but when asked, "What are the best Vietnamese restaurants in the 13th arrondissement?" it's difficult to answer. So we asked around, scoured reviews, and consulted food tour experts in the 13th arrondissement to discover great places, some very old and others more recent. We offer you a comprehensive guide to our favorite places that we've tried and tested, where you can enjoy a delicious meal. Of course, we haven't tried them all, and we're always on the lookout for new places to discover to add to our guide.
