The 15 Best New Restaurants in Paris | Eater

"It may be tempting to call this “micro-comptoir” (only 23 counter seats) in Montmartre an Italian restaurant. But for Japanese chef Tsuyoshi Yamakawa, the menu is a culmination of his seven years working with Carlo Cracco in Milan and Antonio Mellino in Naples, combined with experiences in Paris at Le Verre Volé, Saturne, and La Crèmerie. By day, the chef keeps things simple by serving onigiri from a to-go window. But by night, he offers a short menu including savory maritozzo filled with ricotta and sprinkled with ikura (salmon roe), fresh pasta like prawn- and scallop-stuffed ravioli served in bisque, and a deconstructed dorayaki inspired by a tiramisu, layered with praliné cream, toasted hazelnuts, and a coffee biscuit. Pair the plates with a glass of French or Italian natural wine and end the evening with a Japanese highball. Located in the 18th arrondissement." - Lindsey Tramuta
