Some of the kindest, warmest, and most inviting people you could meet in Paris. Mokochaya has that rare mix you almost never find: pure joy and genuine hospitality, paired with food that’s wildly creative and one of a kind. The team is truly international, and you feel that mix of personalities and cultures coming through in the food — a beautiful blend of Japanese and Lebanese flavors with a French flair. I feel so lucky to have this spot right in my neighborhood. They were beyond sweet with my puppy, even bringing him water under the table, and they served a cheesecake that was somehow even more delicious than it looked (and it looked stunning). A gem of the 11ème and the kind of place that makes Paris feel like home.
