The 11th\'s Asian brunch
Asian brunch in Paris 11: Taiwan and beyond, on rue Saint-Maur

Asian brunch in Paris is often a generic fusion: some matcha, some soy, some wasabi, no real root. MAISON LE TE takes a different approach: an Asian brunch focused on Taiwan, also embracing Japanese and Chinese borrowings, but clearly distinguishing origins. Each dish has a reference country, no vague blend.
Taiwan (signature): braised pork gua bao, marbled tea eggs, glutinous rice with peanuts, Taiwanese onigiri (fan tuan). Japan (influence): Japanese onigiri, whisked matcha latte, matcha pancake, hojicha latte. China (influence): rice congee with black mushrooms, jasmine black tea, black sesame brioche. The three countries coexist without diluting.
What links the three cultures is tea. Taiwanese Taiwanese oolong Ali Shan and Dong Ding. Japanese green matcha and hojicha. Chinese black and jasmine. Brunch can start with tea (instead of coffee), continue with a second tea, and end with dessert with a third. A shared grammar across the three countries, not French.
The interior does not imitate a 13th Asian canteen (neon light, laminated photos), nor a Scandinavian coffee shop (light wood, green plants). It is an in-between matching the house's Franco-Taiwanese personality: exposed brick, globe pendants, ceramics brought from Taipei on the tables. A coherent visual grammar.
