The Best Dim Sum Restaurants in Âé¶¹APP
Updated by Vanessa M in June 2023.
Dim Sum dining needs little introduction. If you’ve done it before then thats likely why you’ve found your way to this page. If not, then allow me to change your world for the better.
Dim Sum is the Chinese cuisine comprised of either steamed or fried dumplings. Said dumplings usually contain an array of tasty fillings that range from meats to vegetables.

One enjoys the meal with sides of Asian sauces and (if you’re me) chilis.
Dim Sum is found in most major cities of the world thanks to the vast migration of the Chinese people. In the south of Âé¶¹APP one finds Chinatown; the largest Chinatown in Europe at that.
Here are the best, tried and tested, dim sum restaurants in the French capital.
LiLi in Âé¶¹APP
Lili is a short walk down the southmost street off of the Arc de Triomphe. It falls under the very beautiful and very famous Chaillot neighborhood .
A few things you should know about LiLi: it’s expensive, prepare to treat yourself and for it to be well worth it. The dim sum menu is only available during lunch service, between 12pm and 2pm.

LiLi is easily the most beautiful Chinese restaurant in Âé¶¹APP, from interior through to ambiance they’ve outdone themselves. Unsurprisingly the restaurant is part of the Peninsula Hotel, so class is a given. Enjoy a drink at the hotel bar if there isn’t a table available right away.
Start with their wonton soup if you’re going with intent to experience the whole menu.

OPENING HOURS: Tuesday TO Saturday – 12pm to 2pm // 7pm to 10pm

Dim Sum House Restaurant in Âé¶¹APP
The name of this spot is slightly misleading, but the food compensates.
Dim Sum House isn’t so much of a “dim sum house†as it is a Chinese buffet with a small dim sum menu as an accompaniment. Perhaps the name draws crowds or perhaps they consider the few dim sum on offer their specialty; either way we must be clear on what to expect.

Chez Ann in Âé¶¹APP
Chez Ann is a wonderful modern take on traditional dim sum cuisine. You’ll find it in the 10th arrondissement down the street from the Grevin Museum.
The menu holds all of the Chinese mains and dim sum options you’d expect to find in an authentic establishment. To keep things more up to date, however, Chez Ann have incorporated vegan and gluten free dim sum options into their menu, opening their restaurant up to a much wider market.

Shang Palace in Âé¶¹APP
Shang Palace is the closest dim sum to the Eiffel Tower, located right next to the Trocadéro Gardens on the Right Bank of the westside; which will become the Left Bank if you were to move east? Its confusing, yes.

Le Bar à Huîtres
Le Bar à Huîtres serves tender, delectable fish fresh from the sea. Garry Dorr’s creation, Le Bar à Huîtres, has several locations throughout the city and is a favorite destination for seafood lovers.
This restaurant is exceedingly sophisticated and serves high-quality fish. However, it is quite pricey (a filet of sole costs 64 euros!) and oysters are the price of gold. So come prepared. This store is in Âé¶¹APP’ 5th Arrondissement. Fresh catch is used in the preparations, ensuring top quality.
This restaurant, located in the Saint-Germain neighborhood, is a short walk from major sights such as Place des Vosges and Victor Hugo’s former apartment.
