Hanuri Korean Grill

What separates Hanuri from everything else around place d'Austerlitz is the format: you cook at the table, on a grill built into it. The beef, shrimp, and mushrooms come raw and fresh, and the timing is yours to control. It's a genuinely different rhythm from any other dinner in the neighborhood — slower, more social, and it smells incredible.

The banchan — those small side dishes that just appear without ordering — are the quiet differentiator. Most first-timers don't expect them, and they do a lot of work in building out the meal before the main cuts hit the grill. Finish with the bingsu if you can: shaved ice that's light enough not to wreck you after a full BBQ spread.

Practical notes: reservations are strongly recommended, especially Thursday through Saturday. Tables near the service area are noisier — worth flagging when you book. Vegetarians aren't an afterthought here; mushrooms and tofu on the grill hold up well enough that a mixed group doesn't have to compromise.

For a neighborhood that runs on zinc bars and late apéro crowds along the quai des Bateliers, Hanuri carves out something different — a sit-down experience that asks you to slow down and actually cook your dinner. With a 4.6 rating across over 1,200 reviews, Krutenau has clearly decided it's worth it.
