Sushi Yoshinaga

Japanese · ★★ Michelin

This exceptional restaurant has left nothing to chance: ceramics designed by a Japanese artist, rosewood chopsticks set out on a small cedar tray, maple wood panelling and soft lighting. Sushi master Tomoyuki Yoshinaga crafts a feast of outstanding fish, including different varieties of fatty tuna, which he surgically prepares and seasons – all for the benefit of no more than 10 diners at a time. This culinary performance of high-flying precision covers textures, maturations, serving temperatures and a vast array of flavours depending on the omakase menu. We also noticed and applauded more per

Kei for Kei Kobayashi, a chef born in Nagano, Japan, who trained with the likes of Gilles Goujon and Alain Ducasse. His father was a cook in a traditional kaiseki restaurant (where high-flying meals are served in small courses – akin to Western haute cuisine), but it was while watching a documentary on French cuisine that he found his vocation. Today, his work verges on perfection: in a virtuoso blend of flavours and exquisite plating, he allows high-quality ingredients to shout their name simply and stunningly. For example, binchotan lobster with sweet pepper seasoning or aged Galician beef p

"Accents tell us where someone is from and about their country, their region and their history. It is this idea of openness and discovery that I want to champion, a cuisine made up of encounters and exchanges," declares Ayumi Sugiyama, the Japanese owner and head pastry chef of this contemporary, Scandinavian-styled restaurant. Chef Romain Mahi's score is a combination of purebred classicism with more daring creations and subtle experiments with roasted aromas and smoky flavours: tartlet of aged caviar, fermented milk, nila oil; sweetbread, celery in vin jaune and morels. From start to finish,

Chef Jean-François Rouquette (Taillevent, Le Crillon, La Cantine des Gourmets, Les Muses) has set up shop in this brand-new dining room, signed by a Franco-Mexican designer. The chef continues to roll out his virtuoso talent, illustrated by suckling lamb from the Pyrenees, cooked in several ways (roasted rack, stuffed saddle) and side dishes (baby artichokes stuffed with quinoa and tartare of seaweed). The delicacy with which he marries excellent produce in his creative and inspired cuisine is nothing short of ‘pure’ and utter bliss!

Lining the delightful Louvois Square, this microscopic restaurant (seats only eight) is well worth a visit. The interior oozes well-heeled zenitude: marble, upholstered seats, fine glassware… However, it is the chef’s talent that draws foodies like bees to honey! This master craftsman works only with the freshest ingredients, curating them with surgical precision. His consummate talent comes to the forefront as you admire him craft sushis and makis that are never overpowered by soy sauce or wasabi. Balanced flavours and complimentary textures: fillet of grilled seabass, spinach and lemon-flavo

Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse

Creative · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Take an iconic luxury hotel opposite the Jardin des Tuileries and an incredibly gifted chef, Alain Ducasse, then add a sprinkling of luxury à la Versailles (white ceiling adorned with gilding, crystal chandeliers) and – voilà! – you get Le Meurice. This place has not failed to catch the imagination of wealthy foreign patrons, who come to soak up that Parisian je-ne-sais-quoi. The Ducasse brand is cultivated by executive chef Amaury Bouhours: the tasting menus featuring dishes served in small portions are both a tribute to French tradition and a showcase of the chef's creativity.

Auguste Escoffier, first head chef at the Ritz and partner of César Ritz, who founded the luxury hotel on Place Vendôme in 1898, was responsible for raising cuisine to the rank of symbol of French art de vivre. In an interior characterised by suitably low-key opulence, featuring a crystal-leaf ceiling lamp that depicts an imaginary herbarium, Eugénie Béziat now orchestrates the Ritz’ culinary score. From her glazed kitchen, the chef skilfully blends memories of her African childhood with Mediterranean influences gleaned over her culinary career. The result is both surprising and convincing, th

After globetrotting around the world and working as the private chef to top fashion houses, with stints at Frenchie in London, the George V with Christian Le Squer and Saturne with Sven Chartier, the Franco-Israeli chef now operates in this astonishing vaulted cellar opposite the Palais Royal. In a buzzy vibe created by one large table d’hôte, he proposes a Scandinavian-style creative menu that draws on multiple influences (notably Japanese and Middle Eastern) and a wide range of culinary techniques (low-temperature, binchotan charcoal, ferment
