Azabu - Paris 6th

Azabu

3, rue André Mazet

75006 Paris

Tél : 01 46 33 72 05

Closed on Sundays and Mondays

Metro : Odéon 



















The Pitch
A good japanese restaurant, so therefore not cheap (easily 30 or 50 euros per person at lunch when you at tea and coffee to the prix fixe menu), teppanyaki (grilling on an iron griddle). Some places for seating are better than others. That being said, on the day I visited everything was perfect, even if it would have been better if it were a little more "well-rounded". The prix fixe menus are 19, 29, or 39 euros and the bento is 43 euros.
For the 19 euro lunch you get : salad + dish of the day + coffee ice cream.
As the japanese acquaintance who suggested I go there said "Yes, it's expensive, but when I want to eat good japanese cuisine, I go there."


















The Meal

Salsify amuse-bouche


















Miso soup



















Lotus root with cheese and garlic and dried bonito shavings


















Duck breast marinated in wasabi sauce


















Beef tenderloin bento, there is duck breast as well



















Green tea ice cream and red bean ice cream, red bean purée

Michi - Paris (75002)

Les sushis de Michi
58, rue Sainte-Anne
75002 Paris
Tel : 01.42.60.03.22

french version













Korin was renamed Michi after the arrival of the new chef.
I didn’t know this when I first went after reading François Simon’s enthusiastic review. We were rudely sent away under the pretext that the restaurant was full. Paul Simon had mentioned the gentleness of the service so I was very unimpressed…
I went back and was told that the owner had changed. The waitress even apologized about my previous visit explaining that a client had upset the chef. This is generally the kind of thing that sits on my stomach. Anyway…













Once you factor in the strict opening times and the tiny size of the restaurant you’re in for a feast!
The lunchtime menus are good value (from €13 to €17) but the evening ones start at a very minimum of €25 and are not for me, personally.
Having said that, real Japanese sushi at an affordable price is extremely rare in Paris and this one is worth checking out…every now and again.

Note that customers eat either on the counter or in the little basement room.
