Yannick Alléno gives up burgers and opens a Japanese restaurant in Beaupassage

Yannick Alléno gives up burgers and opens a Japanese restaurant in Beaupassage

Yannick Alléno inaugurates Izakaya Dassai, a new Japanese restaurant in the Beaupassage district of Paris, replacing his former Père & Fils, Burger par Alléno.

After burgers, it's time for Japanese flavors: sashimi, tataki and ramen. Yannick Alléno, famous chef of the Pavillon Ledoyen (5 toques), has transformed his former restaurant Père & Fils, Burger par Alléno, located in the Beaupassage district of Paris, into a new address dedicated to Japanese gastronomy.

An emotional transition

The burger restaurant, due to open in 2021, was the brainchild of Antoine Alléno, son of the chef who tragically died in May 2022 in a hit-and-run accident. After this painful period, the space briefly hosted an ephemeral table called Moët in Paris by Allénos last summer. In November 2024, this location will be revived with the opening of Izakaya Dassai, a Japanese table with a convivial spirit.

Yannick Alléno, who has been passionate about Japanese culture for more than three decades, wants to offer an immersion in the richness of traditional Japanese cuisine, in the spirit of izakayas, those convivial places typical of Japan.

The best of Japanese cuisine

The menu features emblematic dishes such as yellowtail sashimi with ponzu sauce (€15), beef tataki mitataki with shiso and egg yolk confit (€18), or the famous Kara-age fried chicken with daikon (€14). For ramen lovers, there's a light version, with poultry consommé and soy-marinated perfect egg (€17). Other specialties include Teriyaki chicken skewered with binchotan (€14) and crisply fried pork katsudon (€18).

For the curious, lesser-known dishes are also on the menu: Oyakodon, usually made with chicken and eggs, is revisited with thin slices of trout and fish roe (€19). Tsukemono, a crunchy blend of seasonal vegetable pickles (€14), and Black Cod, fish marinated in miso and sake using ancestral methods (€32), will delight fans of Japanese culinary traditions.

A tasting menu is available at €69, accompanied by carefully selected sakes from the Dassai house.

Practical info :

  • Izakaya Dassai, Beaupassage, 53-57 rue de Grenelle, 75007 Paris
