Maison Avoise

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

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.

L'Escarbille

★ Michelin€€€€Classic Cuisine, Modern Cuisine

This town house (once the station café) has morphed into a gourmet restaurant with a chic, modern vibe and walls adorned with photos and paintings. The recipes are the work of seasoned chef Régis Douysset, who is backed up by a crack team in the kitchen. The ingredient-led cuisine is precisely and generously cooked and seasoned, a case in point being the frogs' legs sautéed in garlic with a watercress velouté sauce. The dishes go down a treat with meticulously selected wines from small-scale producers. Pleasant terrace for sunny days.

Koji

€€€Teppanyaki

Japanese teppanyaki cooking is nothing short of theatrical with its spectacular flames, so be sure to bag a front-row seat at the counter. Before your eyes, chef Koji Hashimoto carefully prepares premium ingredients. His elegant brand of craftsmanship, honed by years of experience in prestigious kitchens, never overwhelms the produce with culinary gimmicks. Both fish and meat (a Normandy beef fillet, for example) are cooked just right, and enhanced by impeccable sauces (eg white miso and sherry vinegar sauce on an assortment of grilled fish). Traditional Japanese decor dominated by wood.
