Lao Lane Xang 2
Paris, France
The read// why locals go
Lao Lane Xang 2 sits on Avenue d'Ivry in the heart of Paris's 13th-arrondissement Chinatown, cooking Laotian and Vietnamese food side by side. The family behind it is of Vietnamese-Thai origin, and the menu reflects both childhoods: tom yam soup sharp with lemongrass and prawns, Laotian rice crêpes with coconut milk and dried shrimp, green curry, duck fillet with Thai basil and green pepper, sticky rice with everything. Skip the ground floor, where you eat within sight of the kitchen, and take the upstairs room, all wood and pastel tones, Buddhist iconography on the walls, a glazed roof over a small garden. Mains land around €10, which makes it one of the better-value tables on a street with no shortage of competition.
