TLC Paris food guide
TLC Paris tip: If it is your first visit, the Hainanese chicken rice is the dish that best explains The Hood’s identity. But don’t overlook the drinks and sweeter side of the menu — pandan is one of the flavours that has helped define The Hood in Paris. The menu changes seasonally, so check the current selection before visiting.

TLC Paris Concierge note: If it’s your first visit, start with the chicken rice — it has been The Hood’s signature since its earliest days. Pandan is the other flavour to look for across the menu. The restaurant now operates as much more than a brunch café, with continuous service, specialty coffee and natural wine making it equally useful for lunch, an afternoon stop or relaxed dinner. Menus change seasonally, so check the current selection before visiting.
The Hood – Singaporean Food, Brunch & Neighbourhood Dining in Paris 11th
Located at 80 Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud in Paris’s 11ᵉ arrondissement, The Hood is an independent neighbourhood bistro rooted in Singaporean and Southeast Asian food culture. Opened in 2016, the restaurant has developed an identity that moves easily between casual dining, specialty coffee, natural wine and weekend brunch — bringing the flavours and convivial food culture of Southeast Asia into a contemporary Paris setting.
One of the signatures is Hainanese chicken rice, a dish closely associated with Singapore and a defining part of The Hood since its early days. French yellow chicken is gently poached and served with aromatic rice cooked in stock, broth and three house sauces — chilli, ginger-garlic and sweet dark soy. The wider menu changes with the seasons, drawing on Singaporean and Southeast Asian flavours while making use of French produce and culinary craft.
Another ingredient to look for is pandan. The aromatic tropical leaf has become closely associated with The Hood and appears across changing dishes, drinks, desserts and baked creations. Alongside the food, specialty coffee remains an important part of the address, while natural wines give the restaurant a different character later in the day. At weekends, earlier opening and continuous service make The Hood particularly easy to visit for brunch or a relaxed late lunch.
The Hood sits within one of eastern Paris’s liveliest food and nightlife neighbourhoods. Nearby Rue Oberkampf is known for its restaurants, bars and evening energy, while the surrounding streets of the 11th are filled with independent cafés, bakeries and small creative businesses. Square Maurice Gardette offers a quieter green pause nearby, and Atelier des Lumières can easily be combined with the neighbourhood for a longer cultural visit.
The Hood has also grown beyond the conventional idea of a restaurant or brunch café. Collaborations, dinners and creative projects have helped establish it as a meeting point between contemporary Southeast Asian culture and Paris, while its relaxed neighbourhood atmosphere keeps the experience informal. It works just as naturally for chicken rice at lunch as it does for coffee in the afternoon, natural wine and dinner, or a leisurely weekend brunch.
TLC Paris Concierge: For a first visit, start with the chicken rice and look for pandan among the current creations. Don’t think of The Hood only as a brunch address — its Singaporean cooking, specialty coffee and natural-wine identity make it worth considering throughout the day. Menus change, so check the current selection before visiting.
