Reyna

Tucked away on Rue de Montreuil in Paris’s vibrant 11th arrondissement, Reyna brings the bold, comforting flavors of Filipino cuisine to one of the city’s most exciting dining neighborhoods. This intimate spot has quickly earned a reputation as a must-visit destination for those seeking something beyond the traditional Parisian bistro experience.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the food. While Paris offers no shortage of excellent cheese, Reyna’s chili-oil topped burrata stands in a league of its own—the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left the city. Pair that with their signature fried chicken, and you’ve got a meal worth crossing town for. The dishes arrive quickly and are meant to be shared, creating an energetic, convivial atmosphere.

The space itself is narrow with cozy, side-by-side seating arrangements, making it ideal for couples or small groups who don’t mind getting a little close. Table space is at a premium, so come prepared to navigate plates skillfully—but that’s part of the charm. The intimate setting creates a natural warmth that pairs perfectly with a glass of wine from their thoughtful selection.

If you’re exploring the 11th arrondissement’s thriving restaurant scene, Reyna deserves a spot at the top of your list. Come hungry, order the burrata and fried chicken without hesitation, and let this Filipino gem surprise you with one of the most memorable meals you’ll have in Paris.
