Prestige Restaurant Behind the discreet door at the entrance to Yannick Alléno's Ledoyen pavilion lies the secret world of Japanese haute cuisine. With all the mastery of chef Yasunari Okazaki, who takes us to the pinnacle of sushi, a meticulous preparation that he varies according to the subject with a condiment or a particular element. Each rice dumpling kneaded in front of you (a few tables and the 8-10-seat counter) is the object of surgical gestures: cuttlefish with red bean condiment, otoro with exceptional fat, sea bass, amberjack, kombu sansho mackerel, sesame bream, red mullet; for each, a hint of sake, marinade, wasabi - a detail that makes them unique and delicious. Abysse also creates stunning dishes, such as shiso seaweed tomato with rice and nori glaze and incredible tomato water, somen with caviar, zucchini "surimi" or the cucumber starter, which is a revelation... The barbecued langoustine maki is also a crucial step, before three desserts to discover: plum and umeshu, pineapple cooked with lychee wood mizuna and fermented pineapple, mushroom and shimeji ice cream... Understandably, this moment is a rare experience, with all the protocol expected, the service and attention of a great house, and the assistance of sommelier Jean-Baptiste Bosc who juggles rare and appropriate sakes, teas and wines.
