The story
Double Dragon serves Filipino-influenced Asian cooking at 52 rue Saint-Maur in Paris's 11th arrondissement, and it earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good quality, good value cooking. The kitchen works alongside a natural wine list and a low-key, attentive floor team.
Everything is cooked in the restaurant from raw produce. The house says its ingredients come from organic or responsibly farmed sources, with farm-raised meat and sustainably caught fish. The menu moves between small plates and rice dishes. Bao with Comté and XO mayonnaise costs 9 €, and a kinilaw of white tuna comes with Filipino tabasco. Lechon kawali, crisp pork belly glazed with honey, is priced at 20 €.
Le Fooding named Double Dragon its most praiseworthy spot in 2019, describing a café with unfinished walls, neon lights and a '90s hip-hop playlist. The reviewer also advised putting your name on the waitlist when the room is busy. Service is discreet, and the wine list leans natural.

Who will put an end to the tyranny of the Black Shadows? It won’t be Billy or Jimmy, the heroes of the legendary video game Double Dragon, but sisters Katia and Tatiana Levha! In this cool café (unfinished walls, screenprints by Yue Wu, neon lights, a ‘90s hip-hop playlist) located near their wonderful restaurant Le Servan, chef Victoria Nabi (who used to work at the mother house) stitches together some small Asian flavor bombs. The night we went, we had an incredible fried bao bun stuffed with Comté and served with an XO mayonnaise; delicate fried chicken wings with a stunningly spicy sweet and sour dipping sauce; cheeky eggplant sautéed in the wok; before a muscovado sugar brownie spruced up with an amazing toasted rice ice cream that’ll really knock out any opponents. FYI: when they’re busy, put your name of the waitlist to avoid standing in line. // Thomas Kanza
