Chef Masa Ikuta brings serious classical training — honed under Bruno Verjus at Table and Stéphane Jego at L’Ami Jean — to his own tasting menu restaurant in the 11th arrondissement. The cooking is confidently French-Japanese, moving from sardine churros with Cantabrian anchovy cream to veal brain tempura styled after shirako to a perfectly grilled lamb rack with smoky harissa. Sommelier Tom Faucoeur’s all-natural wine list is one of the deeper selections in Paris, anchored in the Jura and Burgundy, and his course-by-course pairings are adventurous enough to include a Tunisian wine that traveled to France by sailboat. The candlelit room feels intimate and personal — Ikuta was a jazz trumpeter before he became a chef, and the vinyl spinning all evening reflects it. Tasting menus range from 90€ to 200€, with a 60€ weekday lunch option.
