Our Guide to Paris: Yam’Tcha
Adeline Grattard (formerly of Astrance) serves inspired Franco-Chinois fare, with teas to match. Yes, Yam’Tcha is hard to book, but that’s what happens when a restaurant is as universally praised as this one.

Trusted reviews
- Alexander Lobrano (2011) “Grattard’s cooking is deeply personal, gently creative, and unfailingly delicious.”
- Sébastien Demorand – Cuit Cuit (2011) “Paleron-bouillon-foie gras: le but est évidemment d’avoir un peu des trois dans chaque cuillerée. L’effet, si vous me passez ce jeu de mots particulièrement piteux, est totalement bœuf… Comme si on avait transporté un Rossini en Asie pour l’assaisonner à la sauce street food.”
- Gilles Pudlowski (2010) “Adeline travaille de beaux produits, elle improvise et se lâche…Mais l’inspiration est toute personnelle. Pour commencer en douceur, des haricots coco plats et porc haché, c’est simple, sans chichi et ca met dans l’ambiance… Le homard vapeur avec coulis de mais doux et jaune d’oeuf poché, ventrèche de Bigorre, est simplement époustouflant avec une cuisson flashée presque cru.”
- Caroline Mignot (2010) “…fraîcheur et exotisme se dégagent de ces saveurs, tout en vous emmenant sur des terrains moelleux et gourmands, c’est terriblement bon.”
- Alexander Lobrano (2009) “I like Grattard’s shrewd, subtle and original Franco-Chinese approach to cooking…”
- John Talbott(2009) “…very polished and perhaps too flawless…”
- François Simon(2009) “…c’était impeccable.”
