One MICHELIN Star · Paris 1st
Granite
A few steps from the Louvre, in a timeless vaulted cellar, chef Yoshitaka Takayanagi crafts a cuisine where Japanese precision meets the excellence of French terroirs.
Awards & distinctions
« Just steps from the Louvre, this discreet address cultivates a hushed elegance. With impeccable-quality produce, every dish is executed with precision, finesse and accuracy. The chef subtly weaves Japanese notes into his preparations, such as koshihikari rice with roasted scallops, or umeboshi with Racan pigeon. The pastry chef's sweet compositions fit seamlessly into this inventive repertoire, exemplified by this delicately nuanced dessert built around white grapes. Meanwhile, the floor team looks after this precious cocoon with a blend of "coolness" and professionalism. »
