Citrus Echoes

“Squeez” by Shawn Wasabi, and Raychel Jay turns flirtation into a sensory game—mixing, muddling, and teasing the way Horiz layers flavor and feeling—so the song’s citrus‑charged desire becomes a cheeky parallel to the Lin brothers’ harmony and taste, where tiny gestures, shared ingredients, and quiet chemistry build something bigger than themselves. And with a name that brushes up against digital creator Squeezie, the coincidence adds a playful wink to the story, as if customers might one day look up from their bowl at Horiz and wonder whether the familiar face across the room is part of the magic too.😋

Alain Ducasse once said that “cuisine is the art of sublimating tradition without ever betraying it”.

Few places embody this idea as vividly as Horiz, where a new generation of chefs is reshaping Asian cooking in Paris. In a city where Chinese cuisine is often boxed into clichés, Horiz stands out by treating rice not as a side, but as a creative medium—an ingredient capable of structure, flavor, and storytelling. This is modern Asian cuisine with roots, respect, and real ambition.

🏮 A New Chapter in Paris’s Oldest Chinatown

Located at the corner of Volta and Maire Streets, in the oldest Chinatown in Paris, Horiz has spent the last three years reinventing Southeast Chinese cuisine. The restaurant was taken over by two brothers from a long line of restaurateurs, blending family heritage with a fresh, contemporary vision. The former space—once filled with large round tables and lazy Susans—has been transformed into a modern dining room. Only one round table remains, a nostalgic relic perfect for big gatherings.

👨‍🍳 The Lin Brothers: Tradition Meets Reinvention

At the helm is Chef Olivier Lin, whose training under Baptiste Day at Capitaine brings a refined, prestigious touch to the kitchen. Beside him, Alexandre Lin—director and pastry expert—oversees the dining room and desserts. Both brothers stepped away from predictable career paths to revive the family restaurant, infusing it with new life. Their cuisine reflects the subtle, balanced flavors of Southeast China: gentle heat, rounded profiles, and dishes that feel approachable even to younger diners.

🍚 Rice as a Creative Universe

To stand out in a city full of Chinese restaurants, the brothers imagined a bold concept: rice in every form. Noodles, flour, breadcrumbs, spirits, and even an artisanal rice beer brewed exclusively for Horiz. One of their signature desserts, a crème brûlée infused with roasted rice, delivers a smoky, addictive flavor. The cocktail menu follows the same philosophy, featuring creations like the Red Lotus Fizz—hibiscus syrup, lime, yuzu, black rice kombucha, and sparkling water—a refreshing tribute to rice’s versatility.

🧧 Symbolism, Comfort, and Lunar New Year All Year Long

The menu, like the décor—complete with a lucky cat and a tiny Buddha—embraces symbolism. Lunar New Year dishes are celebrated year‑round. Highlights include the “happiness pasta” (€13.50), thick rice noodles inspired by their grandmother’s recipe; tender barbecued pork (€14.50) or shrimp (€14.50); and the irresistible Bing (€9.50 for two), Asian cousins of tacos made from sticky rice pancakes filled with tofu, omelette, Peking duck, or caramelized pork. The caramelized chicken (€16.50), flambéed tableside with saké, adds a dramatic flourish to the experience.

Harmony & Taste

Brotherhood and Customer Connection as the Hidden Warmth of Horiz
Friendship, togetherness, and brotherhood sit at the quiet heart of Horiz, where the Lin brothers’ shared commitment to carry and reinvent their family’s legacy shapes everything—from the balance between their personalities to the way rice becomes a metaphor for unity, to the invisible moments where one brother’s precision meets the other’s warmth, their grandmother’s recipes become a shared language, and humble grains become structure, nourishment, and memory. Their bond is woven through childhood smells and shared meals, creating a warmth that makes the restaurant feel familiar even on a first visit, and that genuine sense of comfort is exactly why people keep coming back.
