Saigon Etoile

I spent a week in Paris and in this week I visited this restaurant three times and i always enjoyed my meals and SERVICE their. Believe it or not, it is not easy to find a good service in Europe. Food was really good and clean. Fast and great service. Price very reasonable. Because of this restaurant I fall in love with Vietnamese Food. Very close to the shanzelize street.

The food was excellent. The best Beef Phở I have ever had! Nice friendly service. Ate here twice during my two week stay and was very happy both times.

This place was by far the best viet food we have experienced in Paris. The restaurant is clean, owners are friendly and sincere and best part of it all their food is made with quality ingredients. I recommend phở and rice noodles with stir fried beef. Super! You know a restaurant is good when your bowls are empty.

Came here two nights in a row after eating a ton of heavy French food. My husband and I wanted something lighter and less filling for dinner so we got some simple Vietnamese food and were pleasantly surprised by the food here. It had good flavors and they have a lot of dishes we can’t really even find in Dallas or would have a difficult time finding in LA. Not heavily salted or msg tasting like most cheap Vietnamese. Much better quality of ingredients were used here compared to the cheap places in America since they don’t try to be super cheap and compete with other similar restaurants.
We met the same group of Taiwanese folks here 2 nights in a row. They said they came 4 nights in a row. They ate at Le Cinq, Bristol and other fine dining at lunch and also needed a break by dinner.

Un vrai restaurant vietnamien tenu par un vieux couple très gentil… Et qui fait également à emporter ! Cela change des traditionnels traiteurs chinois à emporter. On peut choisir à emporter à priori tous les plats de la carte: nous avons pris une salade aux crevettes et une salade au boeuf cru et citronnelle: les 2 entrées étaient très fraîches et bien assaisonnées; et elles sont servies en quantité !
Pour finir, nous avons pris un boeuf luc lac accompagné de riz rouge (riz sauté, avec la sauce tomate). Là aussi, la boeuf mariné et coupé en dés était fondant. On s’est régalé.
Nous pensons revenir pour tester d’autres plats à emporter: il y a du choix dans la carte.

Relatively small restaurant that is cozy for a Vietnamese eatery. The food was great and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

My wife is Vietnamese and we look for good restaurants whenever we travel. We found this husband and wife run place close to our hotel and what a gem. The food was excellent and the owners were so happy to have us there. We conversed with them (my wife did) all I could say was «Sooo Good». I would recommend for those looking for a very clean, very hospitable traditional Vietnamese rest. Again the food was excellent!!!

After a week of Italy my husband and I started to really crave Asian food. So we Unilocaled what’s around our hotel. luckily we found etoile de saigon
we liked etoile de Saigon so much that we came back the following day for dinner.
Ordered:
*phở bo– 2 thumbs up! very flavorful! small and large options available.
*ca kho tho– comes with a bowl of rice. it’s made in a clay pot which is the authentic way of making it.
*bun thit nguong-​pretty tasty as well!
overall, the portion sizes are just right. prices are also pretty fair for france. coming from someone who eats vietnamese food all of the time i would say that the quality and authenticity of the food is definitely 100% legit! owned by an old vietnamese couple. this Unilocaler would highly recommend you to come here.
tips:
*closed sundays
*accepts credit card and cash.
*speaks english, french, and vietnamese.
*indoor and limited outdoor seating.
*restroom available for customers

WOW. Absolutely delicious food. The fish soup with tamarin was amazing. I also had the Vietnamese chicken salad which is also delicious. Really really friendly service and they speak English.

Real Vietnamese cuisine owned by a couple of Vietnameses who are friendly and kind.
My family enjoyed the food and the hospitality. Try PHO! Ask the lady owner for some soup-​base meat, they work perfectly as add-​on to PHO.

Complètement OUI.
Pour 11e vous aurez, un accueil très sympa, un bo-​bun énorme (même si j’en aurais p-​e voulu un peu plus) et surtout un vrai restau.
Vous êtes assis, le bo-​bun est réalisé à la demande, les nems sont croustillants…
Bref du tout bon.
On espère y retourner pour gouter d’autres spécialités.

Very good, like home cooking!

After walking the Champs Elysee, we wanted to try to go right up to the Arc de Triomphe. It was so elusive. How do people get over there without getting killed? There are cars going around it and 12 streets converging and seemingly no way to get across. But how did those people get there?
I was about to give up and decided to Unilocal to find a restaurant nearby. Lo and behold, the Unilocal GPS directions told me to walk through the underground tunnel. Aha! Mystery solved. We got to see the Arc up close and personal, and we also got to the other side to get to this excellent restaurant.
The neighborhood on the other side of the Arc (opposite the Champs Elysee) is very quiet and residential. It’s a very nice area away from the hustle and bustle crowds on the other side.
I had the beef Bun, which was really good. My husband had the Banh Xeo, which he loved. The service was friendly, warm and welcoming. The décor was very nice, clean and attractive. We would definitely recommend!

Tres bon boeuf Luc Lac et poulet curry
Service rapide et family owned restaurant.
