Restaurant Ken Kawasaki

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Japanese minimalism at its finest: this tiny restaurant with one large shared table and crisp white walls adorned with Monet-style oils showcases the Michelin-starred cuisine of chef Ken Kawasaki. The surprise menu changes monthly and excites tastebuds with a melody of French and Japanese flavours. For the ultimate treat, marry your meal with a trio of wine or sake pairings (€30).

Reservations essential.
