Thai Yim 2, authentic Thai restaurant in Paris 13
From our table in Paris 13, between Olympiades and Place d’Italie, we serve Thai dishes made the way they are back home: fragrant, generous and true to the original.
Cooking that stays true to Thailand
At Thai Yim 2 we cook the food we actually love to eat in Thailand. House-made curry pastes, fresh herbs, som tam pounded in the mortar and blazing-hot woks — nothing frozen in place, no fake luxury. Just honest flavours and a warm welcome.
