TAOKAN

“A subtle expression of Asia and Chinese gastronomy. In this Parisian restaurant, Hélène has relied on blurred mirror effects and colors.”

Nestled in the heart of Paris, on Rue D'Alger, lies Taokan, a culinary gem renowned not only for its delectable Chinese cuisine but also for its stunning interior design. Taokan presents a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, creating an inviting ambiance that captivates diners from the moment they step through the door.

The décor of Taokan is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic vision of its designers, led by the talented duo of Hélène Guillon Lempereur for materials, styling, and decoration, and Olivier Lempereur as the interior architect.

Upon entering Taokan, guests are enveloped in warmth and sophistication.

The light wood not only adds a touch of warmth but also complements the vibrant colors and textures present in the space.
