Since its opening in 2019 in Paris’s 6th arrondissement, Mille & Un has established itself as a premier French‑Korean pastry and tea salon. Founded by Chef Seo Yongsang — previously head baker at Le Grenier à Pain and award‑winning in 2013 for one of Paris’s best baguettes — the shop merges two culinary traditions beautifully.

Located at 32 Rue Saint‑Placide, the shop offers a delightful display of breads, viennoiseries, cakes, and Korean sweets. Standouts include the vanilla and black sesame flans, named the best in Île‑de‑France in 2023, with intense flavor and a creamy, non‑cloying texture. Other treats such as matcha or black sesame madeleines, the Paris‑Séoul (a unique twist on Paris‑Brest), strawberry cream croissant, and the light Saeng Cream cake are fan favorites.

Korean specialties shine with offerings like the pat‑pain (red bean brioche), Soboro (Korean melon bread), Kkwabaegi (sugar‑twisted doughnut), savory Goroke (curry pastry), salads, sandwiches, and Korean bento (dochilak), priced between €7 and €13 
Quand est-ce qu'on mange?

In summer, hearty Korean bingsu desserts in black sesame, matcha, or red bean versions are served in stainless bowls, costing €8.5 to €15 depending on toppings.

The space is bright, minimalist, and calming, with around ten indoor tables and a cozy terrace facing Rue Saint‑Placide. The service is friendly and multilingual, with light K‑pop ambience—ideal for enjoying a sesame latte over pastries, working quietly, or catching up with friends.

Fun fact: the flan has gathered regional prizes, and Chef Seo translated his baguette mastery into creative fusion viennoiseries — notably the strawberry filled croissant which became an iconic item.

Target audience: adventurous dessert lovers, fusion food fans, tourists craving original pastries, locals and professionals seeking a calm spot.
