The story

Madame FAN – Contemporary Chinese Fine Dining in Paris | MICHELIN Recommended

A Parisian Salon for Contemporary Chinese Cuisine

A few steps from the Arc de Triomphe, Madame FAN brings a refined vision of contemporary Chinese gastronomy to the 17th arrondissement. The dining room, inspired by the elegance of Parisian salons, sets the stage for a cuisine that balances heritage with modernity. It is an atmosphere that feels both intimate and celebratory, suited to romantic dinners, business meals, and special occasions.

The kitchen is led by Chef Anthony Zhang, a chef who trained under Paul Pairet and Francisco Araya before bringing his international experience to Paris. His approach is one of dialogue: between French technical rigor and the deep traditions of Chinese cooking, between seasonal French terroir and Chinese savoir-faire. The result is a menu that evolves with the seasons, built on precision and a search for balance.

Signature Dishes and a Curated Wine Program

Madame FAN’s menu showcases a number of signature creations. The famed Xiao Long Bao are prepared with Iberian pork and can be enjoyed plain or with truffle. Other standouts include the Madame FAN crispy pigeon, a crispy sea bass fillet with Sichuan pepper, and a rice casserole with pan-fried foie gras. The cooking is built on traditional Chinese techniques—wok mastery, precise steaming, careful braising—applied to exceptional ingredients.

The wine and sake list, recognized by the Star Wine List, has been carefully assembled to complement the cuisine. With over 150 references, including independent producers, biodynamic wines, and artisanal Japanese sakes, the pairings are designed to enhance the layered flavors of each dish. A three-year-aged Junmai Daiginjo from the HAKKAISAN brewery is a notable selection from the cellar.

A MICHELIN-Recognized Address in Paris

Madame FAN has been consistently recommended by the MICHELIN Guide, a recognition that underscores the quality of its contemporary Chinese cuisine, refined service, and elegant atmosphere. For those seeking a more private experience, the restaurant offers a Chef’s Table in a private room that seats 8 to 12 guests, with a tasting menu required for the table. The space is also available for private parties and business dinners, where the team can create a tailor-made menu.

For a deeper exploration of Chinese gastronomy in a setting that marries Parisian grace with Chinese hospitality, Madame FAN offers a singular experience.
