Highly recommend! The service was amazing and the food was incredible. The presentation and food combinations were delightful. It's a small restaurant that creates an intimate and zen atmosphere that create an enjoyable environment to try some of the best food. The chef's combos are incredible.

A beautiful menu very subtle in tastes in a more old style French cuisine with a lot of bouillons

The only single issue I had was that the fish was overpowered by the sauce.

The food, wine list and service were top class. It was the best meal (lunch) we had on this trip to Paris. The amuse bouche was artistically place placed in a wooden box with seasonal elements. The first starter of a seafood/dashi consommé with a slice of daikon was a gentle and satisfying start to the meal. The second starter with contrasting textures - soft and sweet (celery and apple)and the other morsel was crispy ( olive wafer)and salty and of the sea (sardine) was elegant. The foie gras cigars wrapped in ham with various refine condiments and carrot dust was excellent. The fish (John Dory) and the meat course (horse or duck) were just cooked au point with just the right sauce/jus to complement the meat. The two desserts finished the meal on a high with inventive use of ingredients (a cocktail sized piece of baked lemon). The service was polite, helpful and professional and the two organic wines suggested were enjoyed by all. A lovely memory and experience of Paris.

Excellent all around. Opted for the white truffle on the fish and the Miyazaki wagyu for the meat course, well worth the additional cost. The food was superb, the best meal I’ve had on this trip. Service was great as well, a bit business like and very professional. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in Paris.

Excellent and inventive cuisine in a somewhat hushed environment. Service impeccable, very attentive. Shame that a slight smell of damp spoiled the first impression of the beautiful dining area.

Very interesting experience. It deserves you to come and try. I chose 3 courses, waiter recommended a good wine. Start with foie gras, chef uses Japanese element to neutralise oily feeling; main course is horse fillet, pretty good, no strange smell and taste, very delicious; end with one Japanese style dessert, I like it.

Fantastic experience, The chef is an artist and there was attention to each detail. The complete menu seems to be a lot of food, but each one was so light, well prepared and nicely harmonized that it makes you curious about the next. Elegant, delicious and inspiring... a place to come back ! Congratulations to chef Nakatani !!

The dishes are surprisingly innovative and tasty. Chef Nakatani is very talented in using seasonal products to create his original dishes. Service was also superb. The waiter and waitress were friendly and welcoming. They knew the dishes well and provided good recommendations on wine. I also love the Japanese minimalist and simplistic decoration of the restaurant. Would recommend it to everyone who happens to be in Paris.

My dining companion and I felt so lucky to get a table at the last minute. The food and the service were lovely. I really appreciated the detailed explanations of the matched wines in English. I like to try new things and felt I learned quite a bit. A couple of the dishes were so delicious (duck breast, then later, the pear sorbet) they wiped my mind of the others.

Our meals at Nakatani were the highlight of a 5 week trip to France involving many visits to Michelin starred restaurants. I say meals because we had to return and in the second meal, we were able to enjoy more of the calm attention to detail that make this restaurant so memorable. In several highly rated Paris restaurants we were served some similar dishes but they failed to achieve the elegance and flavour balance that Nakatani masters. My husband hates people photographing food but at Nakatani an exception was made because each dish was a stunning combination of colour and texture. In the end it was the superb flavours that left us knowing that we had experienced something remarkable. Next time we are in Paris, we will return and I will book soon to make sure we are not disappointed.
