1. Akabeko
Fusing the very best of French and Japanese cuisine, elegant new eatery Akabeko is the brainchild of renowned chef Yasuo Nanaumi and his son, Ken. Lose yourself in the delightful seven course Omakase menu, which includes delicacies such as soybean and shiso leaf tempura served with caviar and pan-seared Périgord foie gras. Opt for a counter seat for casual dining, or a table upstairs if you prefer a more cosy dining experience. The seasonal menu is updated regularly.

This well-known neighbourhood haunt has recently reopened after a welcome glow-up, transforming the former wine bar into a noteworthy Mediterranean restaurant under self-taught chef Charleyne Valet.

A small but perfectly formed addition to the Parisian foodie scene.
