Au Piment du Centre is a Sichuan Chinese restaurant in Paris, directly in front of Châtelet. It serves mapo tofu, stir-fried green beans, sesame-coated chicken, Chongqing laziji, and malaxiangguo. The spicy dishes carry the aroma of chili and huajiao, and go well with rice. When the restaurant is crowded, food takes a long time to arrive.
