Tien Hiang
Paris, France
The read// why locals go
Tien Hiang is an entirely vegetarian Southeast Asian restaurant on rue Bichat, drawing on the Buddhist temple cooking that shaped it. Founded in the 1990s and now run by the second generation, the kitchen rebuilds the popular classics of Southeast Asia using rehydrated soy protein in place of meat — the temple-cuisine approach rather than a recent substitution trend. Nothing on the menu contains meat. The address is in the 10th near Canal Saint-Martin, mains sit around €18, and food is either eaten in the room or packed to take away; the house takes no reservations. Three independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite.
