LEGO set 10243, Parisian Restaurant, depicts a restaurant building inspired by Paris within the Modular Buildings theme. Released in 2014, it contains 2470 pieces and belongs to the modular building series designed to form a consistent urban street display.

Parisian Restaurant 10243 is part of the Modular Buildings theme, which focuses on urban buildings intended to be combined in a shared streetscape. Its subject is a Paris inspired restaurant, giving the theme a recognizable dining location rather than a residential or purely commercial frontage.

The set includes 2470 pieces and 5 minifigures.

It is aimed at builders and collectors who follow Modular Buildings, especially those assembling a town scene for display. Within that theme, it functions as a restaurant address, adding everyday activity through guests, staff and a chef figure while remaining compatible in subject with other modular city buildings.
