Wen Zhou: Pork Buns and Dumplings in Paris' Belleville

HiP Paris Blog finds the best restaurant in Paris' Chinatown which is Wen Zhou for its delicious dumplings. — Erin Dahl

Knowing where to eat in Chinatown isn’t an easy feat. Rows of unassuming and almost-identical storefronts line bustling blocks, and rue de Belleville in the 20^th is no exception.

But 24 rue de Belleville is home to something special. Wen Zhou (not to be confused with La Cantine Chinoise WENZHOU at #16) is unappealing to the eye, but makes up for the drab décor with their made-with-love food, all prepared on site.

Favorites include the fluffy pork buns, grilled celery and pork dumplings, and smoked duck soup. The menu isn’t exclusive to carnivores though; there are numerous enticing vegetarian options as well.
