The story
In the 11th arrondissement, Double Dragon brings a vibrant Asian influence to the Paris dining scene, with a clear Filipino accent. The kitchen works with responsibly sourced produce, cooking everything on-site from scratch. The result is a menu that feels both familiar and surprising.
The team describes their offering as a “cuisine métissée aux influences philippines” – a crossbred approach that draws on Filipino classics while welcoming other Asian ideas. You’ll find small plates like bao au comté et XO (a fluffy bao with comté cheese and XO mayonnaise) and gyeranjjim, a delicate flan with girolles and datterino tomatoes. Larger dishes range from kinilaw (a Filipino-style ceviche of line-caught white tuna) to lechon kawali – crispy pork belly lacquered with honey. There’s even a barbecue section: cockles, mushrooms, tofu, and a smoked eggplant omelette come off the grill. The wine list is entirely natural, chosen to complement the bold, tangy flavours.
The service is discreet and attentive – the team’s own words. The setting is unpretentious, letting the cooking speak. This quality and value earned Double Dragon a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026, a recognition of good cooking at a fair price. It’s a place where a meal feels like a genuine discovery, not a performance.
Whether you come for lunch (Friday and Saturday) or dinner (Monday to Saturday), the energy is relaxed, the food direct. Double Dragon proves that Asian cuisine in Paris can be both rooted and inventive – no gimmicks, just a kitchen that loves what it does.
