Mme Shawn

56 rue de Lancry Cuisines: Asian, Thai

About

At Mme Shawn, the wall decoration matches the napkins, the bathroom sink matches that of a five-star hotel, and presentation of your meal matches the presentation of your bill. In other words, ambiance is key. No detail has been overlooked, be it the dining room lighting or the water cups. But Mme Shawn isn't just about decor. The menu offers an enormous sampling of Thai cuisine, from very mild to very spicy dishes. If you can't pronounce the dish you'd like, don't worry—you can order by number. Never order the same as your dining partner—that way, you can sample each other's meals. Plan to take some time to soak up the atmosphere and food, and definitely make a trip up the winding staircase to the bathroom—it's worth a peek. - Betsy Mikel
