Siamsa is a modern gastronomic bistro in the 11th arrondissement, at 13 Rue de la Pierre Levée near République. Despite its Gaelic name — a nod to co-founder Simon Cuddy, “siamsa” meaning to entertain — it is a thoroughly French restaurant, serving updated, well-balanced cooking alongside expertly made cocktails in a relaxed, contemporary setting.

## What to expect at Siamsa

The kitchen serves refined, modern French dishes built on fresh, balanced ingredients, with a particularly good-value lunch menu. The cocktail programme and coffee are a step above the usual bistro offering, reflecting the team’s hospitality background.
