บ้านสวนTHAI RESTAURANT IN PARIS 9TH — THE BAAN SUAN HOUSEA Chiang Mai garden, moved to rue Rodier
Baan Suan means “the garden house”. It is what Nok’s family called their home in Mae Rim, north of Chiang Mai, where meals were eaten outside among the banana trees, with every dish set down in the middle of the table at once.
Nok and Julien opened on rue Rodier in 2016 with one rule: serve nothing they would not eat at home. Curry pastes are pounded in the mortar every morning, herbs arrive on Tuesdays and Fridays, the papaya is shredded in front of you. The menu stays short — ten dishes — because that is what a ten-square-metre kitchen can do properly.

At our table nobody asks who ordered what: it all lands in the middle, and you share.
The room
Eighteen seats, two banana trees
It all fits in one room and a courtyard. It is small, it is loud when full, and that is exactly what we wanted.
01 The room, before service 
02 The sauce caddy, on every table 
03 The wok, at full flame 
04 The curry paste, on the heat 
05 Tuesday’s kaffir lime leaves 
06 The courtyard, April to October
What guests tell us
Four reviews, picked from the real ones
The som tam is pounded in front of us and it really does burn. We asked for more sticky rice twice and nobody raised an eyebrow.
The khao soi alone is worth the trip. I have not found that broth anywhere else in Paris.
Warm welcome, fair bill, a short menu where everything works. It has become our neighbourhood canteen.
Meltingly soft massaman, a green curry with real backbone, quick lunch service that never feels like being pushed out.
