Séjours & Affaires Paris Bagneux

The restaurant’s name is a fusion of the chef’s first name, Mory, and that of Yasuke, the first and only African samurai of Japan, which rather sets the scene. The chef successfully mixes his Malian and Senegalese roots, his fascination for Japan and, of course, his passion for Gallic food and techniques. The end result is inspired and original, featuring dishes that are distinctive, accomplished and sprinkled in a melting-pot of flavours: flame torched langoustines, achu sauce, piquillos and aromatic herbs; confit of croaker, kik alicha, fermented cabbage and confit citrus fruit; Aubrac beef

After stints in the kitchens of Yannick Alléno, Jean-François Piège and Guy Savoy, chef Alexis Voisenet decided to make his own mark by opening this restaurant in the casemates of the old fort of Issy-les-Moulineaux. A unique historical site whose stone vaults are enhanced with contemporary furnishings. A champion of seasonal produce, the chef's creative, delicate approach results in refined dishes such as the house signature, calf’s sweetbread. In addition to a well-oiled front-of-house team.

A young Japanese chef with an iron-clad CV crafts inspired, generous cuisine using the best ingredients of the neighbourhood. Semi-cooked fillet of bonito in a sweet-sour sauce with a tapenade of braised chard; shoulder of pork, mustard cream and mashed sweet potato; bergamot-laced cheesecake with red and black cherries spiked in Espelette pepper. A deftly crafted, out-of-the-ordinary lineup that changes weekly and never fails to hit the spot. At lunchtime, a trilogy of starters and a dish of the day at an unbeatable price.

Bang in the heart of a peaceful street of Montrouge, get ready to embark on a culinary voyage from Asia to South America. Nikkei cuisine, a genuine fusion of Japanese and Peruvian culinary traditions, emerged in the late 19C when Japanese migrants discovered the criolla flavours of Peru. In this welcoming eatery, globetrotting chef, Maïna-Sophie Conil, explores this gourmet marriage in flavoursome, fusion-inspired recipes: fragrant ceviche laced in ginger and lime; crunchy tempura fish or carpaccio of Simmenthal beef enhanced by a truffle jus. The garden terrace is a hit in fine weather.

In the heart of Paris's Chinatown, this Chinese restaurant is popular with many people from the local Asian community, who have adopted it as their canteen. In a room that is always full (the service runs non-stop from lunch to dinner, and is fast-paced, to say the least!), they serve fine Cantonese specialities, including crispy pork and Peking duck. A truly authentic meal, without breaking the bank! You can't book here; you just have to go and wait to be seated.

Armed with an iron-clad CV (Atelier Guy Martin, Lucas Carton, Grand Véfour), Sébastien Dagoneau has been weaving his magic since he took over Le Cornichon in January 2020. Born in the Perche, the chef works directly with producers and suppliers from his homeland, in particular pork and poultry breeders. Examples include guineafowl cooked in morel mushrooms or melt-in-the-mouth pork and potato gnocchi, followed by a crunchy yet fluffy chou filled with Bourbon vanilla cream. Fine selection of organic and natural wines.

On the ground floor of a handsome Haussmann building, this bistro exudes Parisian charm: at the entrance, a few places at the convivial bar and a handful of tables; to the rear, a retro-chic space (snazzy green imitation leather banquettes, white walls, vintage hanging lamps) and an open kitchen reminiscent of – you guessed it – a capsule. The chef's comforting home cooking may be simple, but it is precisely executed using fresh ingredients. The roast chicken jus is quite something! The floating island with salted butter caramel and roasted almonds confirm that the proof is in the pudding.
