At the top of rue des Archives, a little before rue de Bretagne, this small Japanese restaurant that we visited on July 10, after confinement, offers delightful tapas.
Deco: Elegant and warm, the decoration signed by the Ucrhonia architectural firm hits the mark. The exposed stone walls contrast with another wall made of accumulations of old vases. The brown leather seats in front of the black tables and the large white marble counter are comfortable and placed on a raw cement floor.
Atmosphere: Intimate with just the right amount of sophistication. The young team working around the tables takes great care. Good vibe.
Kitchen: Modeled on the izakaya (bistro in Japanese), we enjoy medium portions of delicious dishes with a twist of Spanish inspiration and washed down with a fine selection of sake, beers, tea or natural wines.
In the kitchen: Issac Romero (ex- Holiday Cafe) and Risa Ichimaru (ex- Soba Shelter) reign supreme here. The tandem prepares its dishes with ultra-fresh products according to the day's arrival.
The command : White peach salad, katsuobushi (slices of dried bonito), crunchy samphire / Fatty tuna tartare with trout roe, wasabi cream and ponzu sauce seasoned with yuzu and jalapeno / Plate of tuna and salmon maki / Toro tuna Katsu / Tarte Tatin with black sesame and raw cream.
Is it good ? Delicious, delicate. The salty, tangy and sweet flavors explode in the mouth. Everything is balanced. The dishes are interpreted accurately.
Which table? The middle table on the right, for 2 people. Placed in front of the stone wall, with its back to the porcelain vases, it is positioned between two tables of 4.
Customers : Young art dealers, smart people from the neighborhood and elsewhere, fashionistas.

UNE LITTLE HUNGRY ?
Piccola Mia, the pizzas of the Republic
On the Place de la République, a brasserie with Italian accents has just opened, which quickly made people forget the old Pizza Pino. Welcome to Piccola Mia, the fruit of the joyful encounter between Italian chef Denny Imbroisi, pizza chef Julien Serri and mixologist Matthias Giroud who creates a creative cocktail menu.
Bel Canto, an evening of singing
Pushing the door of Bel Canto is like entering the opera. On the upper quay of the Seine, facing Ile Saint-Louis, Bel Canto is not an ordinary restaurant. Here, we dine but above all, we come to listen to the great classics of lyrical art, performed by... the room staff!
At the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation, a haute couture restaurant
Secret, or discreet, addresses are sometimes the best. This is the case of the Azzedine Alaïa Foundation café-restaurant, in the Marais, very close to the BHV. You enter through a carriage entrance which opens onto a paved courtyard. Without paying attention, we have just entered the kingdom of the brilliant fashion designer who died in 2017 at the age of 82.
NOW ON
THE MOOD MARSH
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
Juliette Drouet actress, muse and mistress of Victor Hugo
At 14 rue Sainte-Anastase, from 1836 to 45 and at 12 from 1845 to 48, a few hundred meters from Place des Vosges, lived the muse and lover of Victor Hugo, Juliette Drouet née Julienne Gauvain.
