as there last night with a girlfriend who had never had Filipino food before (I myself vacationed there in the past). That food platter (pictured) is a great, affordable and a lot of food for 2 people. They only serve it at night and I highly recommend it. Small ambiance improvements : the dining room could gain from dimming the light slightly. It was BRIGHT! Additionally, it didn't bother me at all since I'm bilingual but the waiter was mostly speaking in English last night. He was courteous but I could see how some French only speaking newcomers could have an issue deciding on the menu. read more

We were on our 11 day of vacation and craving Filipino food! Bobi hit the spot! The food is delicious! We were a party of 8 and ordered lumpias, adobo, kare kare, monggo, tinola and Bicol express. We didn't leave a morsel. Staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is small but has a great vibe. read more

Found this place during my Europe trip in January. Never thought I'd find a Filipino restaurant or food for that matter in Paris. It's a small, cozy eatery but every table was full, even folks coming by for take away orders. Service was warm and welcoming by looks like the owner, who was Filipino. Amazing to see her serve her customers speaking French. Food was delicious and portions are perfect enough not to get so full. read more

We had an extremely delicious, satisfying, and friendly meal at Bobi. When traveling to a new city, we always look for the Filipino restaurants. Finding only Bobi during our search for Paris, we were lucky to get a reservation for a Saturday evening. Reservations are a must because the restaurant is small and very popular. The menu is full of classic, familiar Filipino dishes, and allergens are well marked. The munggo was a highlight - one of my favorite dishes, and this was definitely the best munggo I have had dining out, the most fresh-tasting and by far the most beautiful. Highly recommend Bobi for those passing through town and locals looking to discover Filipino food. read more

I'm still thinking about my meal from Bobi. It was my last solo night in Paris as a 1st gen Fil-Am tourist. I arrived around 8:30 pm and the restaurant was packed with patrons. Staff is friendly and warm. Decor was bright and cheerful as cute little jeepneys lined the check out counter. I'm not into dining solo so I opted for take away. I ordered the Kare Kare (made with beef), calamansi juice and mango float. I was impressed by the presentation and balance in flavors, even in the take away containers. My meal even included a bit of bagaoong-- the fermented shrimp paste traditionally served with Kare Kare. I loved it! Flavors and textures were all spot on and the portion was perfect for me. Wish there were more Filipino restaurants like this, well done Bobi! Maraming Salamat. read more

BoBi is still here, and better than ever. We made a conscious effort to make a reservation for Bobi, the favorite meal of ours when we were last in Paris. We were staying at a different part of Paris this time, but was still able to take a leisurely walk to Bobi for our 7 pm reservation (which is pretty early for dinner by Parisian standards). They open for dinner at exactly 7 pm, and that's when they invited us in, letting us choose our table. The place seemed the same, with a different young Frenchwoman manning the bar and front of office (as well as waitressing) and two chefs creating in the open kitchen. We knew what we wanted, which was the Kamayan plate for two (47€). They have both Red Horse and San Miguel in bottles, so we ordered one bottle of Red Horse, a dark ale with a pretty high alcohol content (higher in the Philipines, I'm sure). The Kamayan came soon after, and it was the right amount of food for the two of us, prepared AND presented so well. We were given wooden fork and spoons, though I did try to use my fingertips to eat the steamed rice. The feast consisted of: Vegetables: - White rice. All meats go better with Jasmine rice. - pickled cabbage - took the place of achara. prefer achara. - sauteed eggplant - nope. a non-starter for me. - green beans - good, perhaps a bit overcooked. Green beans made a very good side dish, served plain. Proteins: - Inasal - roasted chicken drumsticks. nice char on the outside, with juiciness on the inside. Really couldn't taste the lemon grass and ginger, but the meat itself was very tender. - BBQ sticks - chicken skewers. Excellent. - Inihaw na Liempo - laquored pork belly grilled over charcoal. This was the best protein and a must eat here. - Garlic shrimp - head-on shrimp, Made for a great presentation, but not the best quality. App: - deep fried cheese stick. good...wish there was more of it. It comes with 4 dipping sauces: sweet and sour, infused vinegar, calamansi with soy sauce, and garlic sauce. I liked the infused vinegar the best. We finished off our meal with two shareable desserts: Mango Float (7€) which is more like a parfait than a float...not too many pieces of mango and the whipped cream could have been better. Ube Ice cream (7€) : home made and it tasted like it. delicious. Service was great throughout, and our hostess spoke enough English to make that the language of communication. We were done in under an hour. read more

We visited this restaurant during our trip to Paris. It's on the edge of Le Marais. It might be the only Filipino restaurant in Paris. The food was excellent by Filipino standards and we saw a number of Parisians there reservations are recommended. We did takeout because the restaurant was full when we arrive for dinner. read more

Sooo good!! 5/5 My cousin & I were visiting from the US & we're craving Filipino food/ rice lol As a Filipino myself, I've eaten at plenty of Filipino restaurants so I know a thing or two about good Filipino food & this place did not disappoint! I didn't expect much since we were in Paris, but my cousin & I were surprised at how delicious this place was! We ended up coming here 3x during our 6 day stay (so that says a lot). I highly rec the ookoy, chicken tinola, chicken skewers, & kare Kare. Everything was 10/10!! We ended up visiting the sister coffee cafe, as well and it was also very good! This place is solid if you're craving delicious Filipino food. Highly recommend! read more

Was looking for home-cooked dinner in Paris and happened to be near the Bobigny area. This is one of the best Philippine cuisine I've had outside of Manila. They have most of the popular dishes, but the Chicken Inasal and the Bicol Express is top-notch. It gets pretty crowded though. While we got in early, within an hour it was packed. The service is great and friendly. Looking forward to visit again when in Paris! read more

If I had to define the essence of Bobi, I would say that it pays homage to traditional filipino fare, with a nod to the best ingredients and a strict focus on flavor. What I love about the place is the unassuming atmosphere from the menu, up to the ambiance. Traditional filipino fare has always been a tough sell in foreign countries, but what I love is that the owners have chosen to be bold and try. And they do it with a smile. We came in for dinner for two on a Thursday, we did reserve, but there was plenty of seating available and would have probably not waited long even if we had not. We started with the lumpia and a sweet and sour sauce. It was cooked well, the taste amazing. Some places overcook one, maybe two pieces, but as I said there was a precision here and a focus on flavor that i found surprising. We also had the BBQ Chicken on a stick which was practical, tasty, and would probably have ordered more if I didn't want to try everything on the menu. Be sure to try a calamansarum drink or any of the others as these are actually unique and flavorful. For our mains I must admit we got carried away and ordered the inihaw na liempo, tinola, adobo, and kare kare. To start the inihaw liempo was cooked well, not greasy at all, and comes with a vinegar dip. What most filipinos think of liempo is the fatty chunk of pork that you can drink beers to and while the night away in idle conversation. The dish itself fits the profile, offering the same flavors without the grease. What I would have liked here is perhaps a spicier dip option to add a little heat. Onto the tinola which was a welcome dish as the temperature outside was 50 degrees. The soup was well seasoned, savory with every spoonful, perhaps a serving spoon for the soup as a recommendation, but honestly after eating all the yummy chicken I found myself just drinking the soup straight up. The adobo here was chicken, me personally I love pork adobo, the mix was well seasoned leaning more toward sour with the vinegar instead of sweet as I am accustomed to. Adobo is the kind of dish that you can make in many ways, perhaps I'd like to see an adobo pork in the future maybe. The kare kare was superb, definitely above par than the hundreds of places I have tried. Its was a nice touch with the shrimp paste to really complete the picture. For dessert we had the mango float, it was simple, fresh mango chunks set in cream, not overly sweet and a great end to a great meal. For the many filipinos out there, eating at Bobi will be like coming home, come try this place if you're in town, it will not disappoint. If you have read this far then I thank you for your consideration. read more

Fantastic spot for Filipino food in Paris. I stopped by this gem when I was walking around in the area. When you walk in, it is very vibrant with color and good vibes! I had the lunch special with the adobo, cheese-sticks and the dessert. I had a rum and calamansi cocktail to wash it down. Everything was delicious and reminded me of home cooked meals when I was younger. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area or craving Filipino food. read more

This was nice surprise during my last visit to Paris. The La Marais is known to have some good food places and its nice to have Filipino food present in this area. I tried the pork sinigang with rice and calamansi juice. The portions were perfect and the sour soup just hit the spot since it was cold the day we tried the place. Hopefully they thrive so that non-Filipinos can enjoy a taste of Pinoy food in Paris! read more
