Korean drinking food — Paris

Anju is not a starter: it is a dish built to accompany the drink, and the order runs backwards — you choose what you are drinking first, then what will go with it. Fried chicken, savoury pancakes, tteokbokki, squid, pig's trotters, spicy whelks; the register is salty and textured, meant to last a whole evening and to sit in the middle of the table. This page gathers the Paris addresses that commit to that kind of menu, usually pocha rooms or Korean bars. Two things to keep in mind before ordering: portions are sized for a table rather than a person, and the bill climbs quickly if you keep stacking plates. Cross with soju, makgeolli or Korean beer depending on the glass, and with late-night if the evening starts after dinner.
