After 10 days of only Italian or French food, we wanted something more like what we eat at home. Used Tripadvisor to search for Chinese restaurants near our Paris hotel. Taokan was at the top of the list, so off we went. Nicely decorated, contemporary Asian restaurant. We chose to get Chinese dishes similar to what we eat at home. What we got was excellent northern-style Chinese cuisine. The restaurant was quite full by the time we left and seemed to attract only locals. Good choice for a change of pace in Paris.
