MR CHOW, on rue Delambre in Montparnasse, transports diners to an imagined 1960s Hong Kong, directly inspired by In the Mood for Love. The restaurant makes a genuine immersive choice: subdued lighting, cinematic décor and the visible kitchen contribute as much to the experience as the food.
A Chinese restaurant designed like a film set
Here, immersion does not rely on entertainment or a show, but on a carefully crafted atmosphere. The reference to 1960s Hong Kong gives the venue a strong identity and immediately shows what distinguishes it from a more conventional Chinese restaurant in Paris.
Food prepared before your eyes
The official website also highlights an open kitchen: dishes are prepared in-house, in front of customers, using fresh produce. The décor is therefore not the venue's only attraction, as it seeks to combine staging with culinary expertise.
A little something extra
MR CHOW is presented as the Left Bank counterpart to Suzie Wong, another Panda Panda group venue. It is a good option for anyone seeking a Chinese restaurant in Paris where the visual world genuinely forms part of the meal, without becoming a dinner show.
