Toshiyuki Kondo has found his stride at this unique spot on Boulevard des Minimes. Working alone in the dining room—though supported in the kitchen—he welcomes guests with infectious warmth and readily shares his passion for wine. His wine cellar, featuring about a hundred selections, the bottles adorning the dining room, and his expert advice all attest to this. On weeknights, the menu is intentionally streamlined, offering a choice of three appetizers, three main courses, and three desserts for €42. The cuisine blends seasonal ingredients with Japanese influences, featuring dishes like melon gazpacho with cured ham or cold soba noodles served in a soy broth with tsukune, showcasing a beautiful balance of flavors. Those who prefer a more classic style of cooking will enjoy the gnocchi with shrimp and shellfish sauce, or the guinea fowl, which is offered two ways. The meal concludes with a chocolate fondant that’s not overly sweet.
