A pretty Art Deco front window is the calling card for this pristine spot near the Arc de Triomphe. An expense-account crowd mixes with serious French gourmands here, to dine on the subtle cuisine of likable Japanese chef Tateru Yoshino, who trained with Joël Robuchon. Yoshino rewrites his menu four times a year but you can always find hints of Japan in dishes—made with organic ingredients—such as eel blanquette with grilled cucumber, salmon prepared four ways (in salt, marinated with dill, smoked, and panfried), and a unique take on the French classic tête de veau, with turtle jus. Put your trust in the chef by opting for the tasting menu (EUR 99 or EUR 130), or keep your budget in check with the EUR 49 lunch menu.
