First Impressions
French bistro cooking with a Filipino-Asian accent, run by the Levha sisters — one of the most personal, original kitchens in the 11th.
Le Servan is run by sisters Tatiana and Katia Levha, who grew up partly in Asia and bring a Filipino and Southeast-Asian sensibility to French bistro cooking — a combination that feels entirely their own. Tatiana is married to Septime's Bertrand Grébaut, which places Le Servan squarely in the 11th-arrondissement neo-bistrot family tree, though the restaurant is very much its own voice. Opened in 2014, it occupies a corner room with painted ceilings and big windows, and the cooking is bright, herbal, and quietly thrilling.
What We Loved
French bistro foundations lit up with Asian herbs, spice, and technique — the menu changes constantly and rewards the adventurous. Bright, sharp, personal cooking.
A bright corner space near Père Lachaise — painted ceilings, big windows, an easy neighborhood feel.
TASTING MENU · WHATEVER IS SEASONAL
Le Servan is one of the most original kitchens in the 11th — French bones, Asian soul, two sisters cooking exactly what they want. Go hungry and order widely.
