Gault&Millau's review
17/20
Prestige Restaurant True to his principles and his Japanese upbringing, Kei Kobayashi wraps his fine cuisine in the utmost mystery for a small fringe of connoisseurs. Of course, you have to be an insider to walk through the heavy door of this discreet building near Les Halles and sit down in this small dining room to let the chef prepare the most refined dishes of the moment. Trained in generosity and offering at Goujon or Husser, in grand style at the Plaza Athénée, Kei is now totally focused on his role as ambassador of Japanese culture applied to French cuisine. And he's succeeding by hiding the whole program, giving, as the only clues to these Omakases, the prices, relatively stable today, from €158 (lunch) to €450 (weekend dinner). The atmosphere, as you might guess, is hushed, the service deferential and the cellar rich, with plenty of guidance (tea, sake, wine...).
