Smallest Restaurant In Paris

The Smallest Restaurant in Paris by Rachel Khoo is a charming food memoir that blends a coming-of-age story with recipes that genuinely earn their place on the page.

Set in Paris and told with Khoo’s trademark wit, it’s a love letter to learning, cooking, and backing yourself when the plan is still half-formed.

Fresh from suburban south London, Rachel arrives to study at Le Cordon Bleu and soon finds herself piecing together a life in a tiny apartment, chasing kitchen work, friendships, and the kind of everyday Paris that tourists rarely see.

As her confidence grows, so does her ambition—eventually leading to the pop-up that would be dubbed the smallest restaurant in Paris.

Perfect for readers who enjoy culinary writing, Parisian settings, and inspiring true stories, as well as home cooks keen for French recipes with heart.

Step into Khoo’s small kitchen and see what big dreams can taste like.
