The Best New Restaurants In Paris - Paris - The Infatuation

"Ricotta-stuffed maritozzo sprinkled generously with ikura and scallop-filled ravioli are two reasons locals are hiking up to Montmartre to eat at this shoebox of a restaurant with only counter seating. Is it Italian? Is it Japanese? It’s a bit of both, thanks to a Japanese chef who spent seven years cooking in Italy. This spot brings a fresh and unexpected style to a Parisian dining scene that's seen it all. By day, you’ll find simple onigiri available for takeaway from a tiny to-go window, but the real action happens at night, when diners pack in at one of two long wood counters. Order the fresh pastas jazzed up with seasonal vegetables and Japanese condiments (like the grapefruit kosho), seafood, and natural wine from a list that spans France and Italy. Each dish is a surprising delight from start to finish, but the deconstructed hazelnut dorayaki—a play on the layered flavors of tiramisu—is what makes the whole meal memorable." - sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, lindsey tramuta, sara lieberman, sara lieberman, sara lieberman, lindsey tramuta, sara lieberman
