One Star: High quality cooking
This is France's first restaurant devoted to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Cha-kaiseki actually refers to the meal that is served with the tea; Yuichiro Akiyoshi is the chef's name. Tucked away behind an unassuming-looking wooden façade, the restaurant seats just 16. White miso soup and carrot mochi; rice-straw-grilled bonito; soya chawanmushi and sesame tofu; charcoal-grilled gilthead seabream, bottarga and Japanese butterbur tempura; mackerel sushi, mushroom broth and soba: ingredient-led cuisine centred on freshness and prepared in view of guests by the chef, assisted by the chef's kimono-clad wife. Dishes strike a harmonious blend of colours and flavours, visual artistry and Zen spirituality. An exclusive, timeless experience in an interior inspired by authentic Japanese tea houses.
