Le Thé

Le Thé Review

Almost everything on the menu in this microscopic piece of China, whether succulent rice-flour crepes stuffed with shrimp, dim sum, steamed bread, wobbly cubes of tapioca cake, or rare, scented, and little-known teas, is steamed. The delicate red-clay teapots lining the walls are for sale, the front door is easy to miss, and the nine tiny tables fill up fast—call ahead or drop by after 1:30 for lunch. For a fine selection of teas, and an off-the-beaten track buying experience, venture into their atmospheric emporium, Dragon Art, at nearby 5 rue des Savoises.
