A busy, no-frills ramen and rice-bowl room on Paris's main Japanese street. Portions are filling and prices are well below the neighbourhood average.
Higuma sits on Rue Sainte-Anne, the street at the centre of Paris's Japanese quarter near Pyramides, and has long been one of the most affordable places in the city to eat a bowl of ramen. The menu is short and built around noodle soups, gyoza and rice bowls, with set menus that combine a main with a side for roughly €10 to €12.
Service is quick and tables are close together, which makes it a practical lunch stop between the Louvre, the Opéra and the Palais Royal. It suits budget travellers who want a hot, filling meal without restaurant prices. Other Japanese restaurants and bakeries cluster nearby if the queue is long.
