If you find yourself walking at Lunch or Dinner time around the “Centre Pompidou”, you might see a long queue in front of a very small restaurant.
You might not understand at first what’s so special about, so we’ll tell you their secret: it is delicious 🙂 !
This Chinese restaurant, called “3 fois plus de piments” (literally : “3 times more chili peppers”) offers meals from the Sichuan region in China.
The menu is small, as it should be in small restaurants like this one. Understand : Noodles and dumplings
Their specificity? You get to choose the spicynes at your style. It ranges from 0 (no spicy) to 5 (will burn your tongue).
Be brave but not reckless :). 0,5 is a good start. 1 is already a bit spicy. If you’re not used to spicy food, we would not recommend going over 2.

The atmosphere is super friendly, and the service is quick. For a good price, you will eat really well and discover chinese meals and spices.
We recommend to arrive early (before 12:30pm for Lunch, or before 8pm for Dinner,) if you want to avoid waiting for a table outside. They have quite a huge succes
Not a typical Paris activity, but a typical Parisian meals these days !
