There are some flavors you can’t shake — and for me, grilled lamb skewers (양꼬치) are one of them.
When I lived in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, there were evenings when all I wanted was that savory, charcoal-grilled taste paired with a cold drink.
On those days, I headed to Kochi.
Here’s why this place stands out:
1. Korean Skewers with a Refined Twist
Kochi is located at 45 Rue de la Convention, a short walk from Convention metro station.
At first glance, it looks like a small, minimalist restaurant — but don’t let the clean design fool you. Inside, you’ll find an impressive selection of grilled skewers, inspired by Korean street food but elevated in quality and presentation.
They offer a wide variety, from chicken and beef to seafood and vegetables, but it’s their lamb skewers (yang kkochi) that I keep going back for.
2. Perfectly Grilled, Flavorful Lamb
The lamb skewers here are juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled to order. The meat has that signature smokiness you expect, with just the right balance of spice and salt.
Each skewer comes out hot, tender, and not overly greasy — just right.
They’re often served with sides like pickled radish, Korean sauces, and sometimes lettuce wraps. It’s a perfect pairing with beer or soju, and ideal for a relaxed night out.
Expect to spend about €20–30 per person, depending on how many skewers you order — not cheap, but the quality and ambiance make it worthwhile.
3. A Go-To Spot for Skewer Lovers
Kochi isn’t a typical Korean BBQ restaurant — it’s focused, intentional, and stylish without being pretentious.
Whether you’re dining solo or catching up with friends, it’s a place where the food takes center stage.
If you’re ever in Paris 15th and craving lamb skewers, this is the spot. Trust me — you’ll come back.
