The story
Misu Paris anchors its presence on Rue Falguière with a quiet dedication to modern Korean cuisine. Linda Lee arrived after building six restaurants across London, trading the high-energy rice bowls of her previous venture for this quieter address. Her approach leans toward precision rather than heavy spice, focusing on clean cuts and measured heat. The 2026 Le Fooding listing recognizes how she translates street food instincts into a polished dining room without losing the original rhythm.
Plates arrive following the traditional bansang layout, placing a main course at the center while smaller accompaniments orbit around it. You will find bite-sized grilled pork and shrimp mandu alongside hand-cut steak tartare dressed with ripe pear and quail egg yolk. The seou gangjeong coats delicate shrimp pancakes in a spicy sweet and sour sauce, while the kimchi jjigae stew blends tofu and pork into a balanced simmer.
The exterior presents a simple greige front that hides a space drawing inspiration from Seoul’s trendy Seongsu district. Wooden surfaces and low lighting keep the mood grounded while the menu pushes forward with bright accents like ginger-yuzu tea and a matcha crème brûlée finale. A black sesame doughnut packed with sweet white bean paste closes the meal on a soft note. This Korean restaurant proves that refined techniques and everyday comfort can share the same table.
