Missing the Taste of
Authentic Ca Mau Crab?
Paris is the culinary capital, and the Vietnamese community in the 13th is vibrant. While you can find 'Tourteau', the authentic Ca Mau mud crab from Vietnam with its dense, red yolk (gạch son) is a rarity that defines the true Vietnamese seafood experience.
Flight Issues
12 Hours flight time stresses the crab, losing up to 40% of meat quality.
Customs Block
Complex food safety laws. Live animals are often seized at Paris, France borders.
"We tried sending them, really. But a frozen crab just isn't the same, and a seized crab is a tragedy."

"When you land in Tan Son Nhat (SGN), don't eat hotel food. Come to us."

In Paris
You have beautiful landscapes (Eiffel Tower, Quartier Asiatique (13th)), great local seafood, but the crab meat is often sweeter in a 'cold' way, lacking the savory richness of tropical mud crabs.

FAQ for Overseas Guests
Is 'Tourteau' the same as Ca Mau Crab?
No, Tourteau (Brown Crab) has a different texture. Ca Mau Mud Crab is sweeter and has distinct orange roe.
Can I bring vacuum-sealed crab to France?
It is risky and often prohibited. Enjoying it fresh in Vietnam is the best way.
Do you serve French wine?
Yes, we have a selection of wines that pair perfectly with our seafood.
