¡Hola foodies! 🎉 On December 3, 2025, Paris is buzzing with a fresh culinary movement.
For years, many Parisians knew Chinese food mainly through takeaways and southern flavors. But in 2025, a new generation of chefs from the Chinese mainland is opening sleek, region-focused restaurants that showcase China’s vast culinary map. From northeastern skewers grilled over fire pits to delicate dim sum topped with shredded French cheese, these innovators are rewriting the script on fusion cuisine.
Food critic Grace Ly, speaking to CGTN, highlights how diversity has exploded: “More than 10 or 15 years ago, it wasn’t as specific and plural as it is today. We had mostly southern Chinese food. Now, a lot of regions have their own restaurants.”
At hotspots like SENsation in the Marais, Chef Lee embraces authentic techniques while shopping at local markets. “Every dish is very authentic Chinese cuisine, but we use French ingredients. It’s an authentic technique with local products,” Lee explains, as dishes like pork simmered in cognac become instant Instagram stars. 📸🍲
This culinary dialogue between East and West is more than a trend—it’s a celebration of tradition and creativity. As young Parisians line up for their next taste adventure, the city’s food scene proves once again that great flavors know no borders. ¡Buen provecho! 🌟
