Toraya

Toraya is a lovely spot for a peaceful coffee catch-up with a touch of Japanese elegance. We enjoyed matcha teas alongside a selection of their delicate bean pastries and fresh mochi. The highlight for us was the monakas—we only wish we had tried them earlier so we could have ordered more! When we arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly quiet, with individuals studying or reading alone, making the soft bird soundtrack almost the only sound in the room. It created a serene and calming ambiance, though later, as more people arrived, the space became livelier with conversation. The service was exceptionally polite and kind, and the minimalist Japanese decor added to the tranquil experience. A wonderful place for tea, sweets, and a moment of quiet in the city.

This place offers an exceptional experience for those seeking high-quality, authentic Japanese sweet and tea and lunch . The options are incredibly delicious, crafted with care and attention to detail, and the sweets are equally delightful. The atmosphere is calm and serene, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a peaceful meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor a taste of Japan in a tranquil setting!

Had a pleasant experience at this Japanese restaurant. The food quality was good, with fresh ingredients and well-prepared dishes. The ambiance was comfortable, and the service was attentive. I would recommend it to those looking for a solid Japanese dining option.

We got a takeaway matcha latte and two desserts. After paying a ridiculous amount we were told to wait next to the registration where everyone had to pass us by squeezing us and themselves into this small area. At the end we got a half full cup with matcha latte. Dorayaki was too cold and felt like biting into a very dry sponge, the chestnut rice cake we got was nice but was it worth 6.50 Euros for one bite? Absolutely not. Can't say anything about their food but takeaway system needs working, also 8.50 Euros for half a cup of matcha is ridiculous. If you are visiting Paris just go to any bakery and get yourself any other dessert in our opinion.

Tucked in a quiet street but so close to all the tourist attractions! Much needed ice cold dessert on a sunny day. First time trying quality kakigori (Japanese shaved ice) with matcha syrup and red beans! There are sooo much red beans inside which is a good surprise. Not overly sweet! It was perfect to share! You can also get other Japanese snacks for takeaway!

Even though it’s supposed to be a Franco-Japanese restaurant, it’s very much Japanese—but sadly, the service was shockingly racist. The French staff only spoke to my white friend (in English) and completely ignored me (I’m Asian), even when I tried to get their attention directly. The food was just as bad as the service. The menu is tiny, with nothing but boring rice and vegetable dishes for €15–20 or desserts that are downright weird. I tried the mochi, and it was so overloaded with powder or whatever they put on top that I nearly choked while eating it. The worst part was trying to get the bill. We were sitting right by the counter, and four different waiters straight-up ignored me when I asked for it. Even the one Asian waitress working there looked at me, then just walked off without saying anything. I had to sit there for another 10 minutes before someone finally brought it over. Overall, the place felt incredibly unwelcoming and disrespectful. Between the mediocre food and the rude, racist service, I honestly wouldn’t recommend this spot to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere better.

An exceptional find. Came here for a light tea while in the area. These guys use legit quality matcha with authentic Japanese sweets. Clean decor, serene vibes. A respite from the city bustle. Ordered the latte (excellent) but the matcha used was of high enough quality that the usucha (plain matcha + water) would've tasted even better.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Super authentic and everything was made to perfection. If you're ever in Paris, be sure to stop by for lunch or tea! One of the best meals we had whilst we were visiting Paris, was simple and healthy...a welcome change from all the super rich French food we had eaten!

Toraya offers a clean, sleek place to rest in between all that shopping nearby. The desserts and tea are decent, but the prices are too steep for the offerings.

Clean spot with cute decor offering a wide variety of " An " sweetened bean paste based desserts. They all look great but bear in mind that it's for sweet tooth eaters, so don't forget to ask for water. I thought I could go there to get some work done but the subway train runs right underneath and quite frequently interrupts the ambiant zen-ness. Upon stepping in I was ask not to stay longer that an hour and half. Definitely a must try, and not as expensive as it looks. Can't wait to come back for lunch

Nice Japanese tea house near Place de la Concorde featuring tea and Japanese desserts. Terrific genmaicha. Some light meals available (photos of 2 of the 4). Reservations necessary, and at res time they claim to be strict about 1:15 time till next reservation. Staff are French and Japanese.

I just wasn't super blown away to be honest. Service was exceptional but like food was good just not great. I think for the price I paid I feel like it should of been a little more better than just alright. Although one thing I would love to say with all the cream anmitsu's I've had, I've never had it with apricots. Props to them for that.

Really liked this place - very helpful staff and the pastries (not sure if you call them that) were excellent. A bit pricey but you can kind of tell that when you arrive. Definitely recommend checking them out.

definiltely one of a my favourites for lunch. nothing beats the avokani menu !! lovely as well for an afternoon tea.
