Restaurant in Paris, France
Accessible Paris dining, no months-long wait.
An Di An Di sits in the 20th arrondissement — away from the tourist belt, easy to book, and priced at neighbourhood levels rather than grand-occasion rates. It's a practical option for a local dinner in Paris, particularly on short notice. Verify hours and format directly before visiting, as confirmed data is limited.
An Di An Di is easy to get into by Paris standards, which makes it worth considering even on short notice. The address — 9 Rue du Liban in the 20th arrondissement , puts it away from the tourist circuit, in a neighbourhood where locals eat rather than perform. That alone is a signal worth paying attention to.
Because the venue database is sparse on confirmed specifics for An Di An Di, Pearl's honest position is this: go in with an open mind about format and price, and verify current hours and booking policy directly before you visit. What we can say is that its location in the 20th positions it in a corner of Paris where independent dining rooms tend to run at lower price points than comparable kitchens in the 6th or 8th , useful context if you're watching spend but want something with neighbourhood credibility rather than tourist polish.
On the wine question , which matters if you're using a wine program to gauge kitchen seriousness , independent restaurants in this part of Paris tend to run tight, thoughtful lists over sprawling cellar menus. That's not a compromise; it's often a better match for the food. If wine depth is your primary criterion for a Paris dinner, the three-Michelin-star rooms like L'Ambroisie or Le Cinq at the Four Seasons George V will give you a cellar list; An Di An Di is likely a different register entirely. For Arpège-level wine ambition in a more intimate setting, you'd need confirmed data first.
Timing-wise, midweek evenings are generally the easiest entry point at neighbourhood restaurants in the 20th, and that pattern likely holds here. Avoid assuming weekend availability on the same terms.

Compared to the heavyweight Paris dining rooms Pearl tracks, An Di An Di is operating in a different register. Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen and Le Cinq at the Four Seasons George V are both €€€€ rooms with deep cellars, formal service, and Michelin pedigrees , if you want a guaranteed grand occasion dinner with wine program depth, they're the safer call. An Di An Di is better framed as a neighbourhood option where the value proposition comes from intimacy and location rather than institutional recognition.
Kei and L'Ambroisie both sit at the higher end of the Paris market and are harder to book , An Di An Di's easy booking difficulty is a genuine advantage if you're planning a last-minute dinner or building a trip around other priorities. The trade-off is that you're giving up the certainty of award-backed quality signals.
For a first Paris trip focused on fine dining, the Michelin-starred rooms in the 6th, 7th, and 8th give you more confirmed data to book against. An Di An Di makes more sense as a return-visit choice , a local dinner rather than a destination meal. If you're comparing neighbourhood independents across Paris, our full Paris restaurants guide has the broader picture.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Nothing in the venue's profile suggests a formal dress code. Given its address in the 20th arrondissement — a residential, unpretentious neighbourhood — casual or relaxed street dress is a reasonable call. Overdressing would be out of place here compared to the formal rooms on the Right Bank.
If you want a step up in ambition and accolades, Kei offers Franco-Japanese cooking with Michelin recognition at a higher price point. For neighbourhood-register dining without the 20th's off-centre location, look at smaller bistros in the 11th or 10th. An Di An Di's advantage over those options is accessibility — it's easier to get into on short notice.
No bar seating details are confirmed in Pearl's data for this venue. Worth checking directly when you book, since smaller Paris neighbourhood spots sometimes offer counter seats that aren't advertised. The address — 9 Rue du Liban — suggests a compact format where walk-in counter options could exist.
An Di An Di is notable by Paris standards for being accessible without months of lead time. A few days to a week out is likely sufficient in most cases, though popular weekend slots will fill faster. This is one of its practical advantages over destination dining rooms in the city centre.
It depends on the occasion. If you want a relaxed, neighbourhood-feel celebration without the formality or price of a grand Paris dining room, An Di An Di in the 20th works. For a milestone where setting and ceremony matter, Pierre Gagnaire or Le Cinq would be more appropriate choices.
No confirmed group booking policy is available in Pearl's data. Smaller Paris restaurants at this address scale typically suit parties of two to four most comfortably. For groups of six or more, check the venue's official channels before assuming space is available.
No specific dietary policy is confirmed in Pearl's data for this venue. Standard Paris practice at neighbourhood-scale restaurants is to flag restrictions at booking or on arrival — calling ahead is the safest approach. Do not assume a set menu format will accommodate changes without prior notice.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
