Japanese cuisine is undoubtedly one of the most popular in France. In Paris alone, gourmets are lucky enough to be able to sample a number of Japanese specialties with ease: sushi,ramen, okonomiyaki… One of the capital’s most popular Japanese restaurants is teppanyaki. Here, all food is cooked on a hot plate, like a plancha. This allows the ingredients to be perfectly sublimated. Here are the best teppanyakis in Paris.
Benihana
This pretty Japanese restaurant on rue Saint-Honoré offers a unique culinary experience in a hushed setting. While cocktails and sushi are passed from table to table on the first floor, it’s on the second floor that the magic happens. Fish, meat and vegetables are browning on large hotplates. A special mention goes to the chef, who puts on a real show between two courses, swinging his kitchen utensils in the air. At Benihana, you share a festive and delicious moment with strangers, a bit like traditional Izakayas. It’s an unforgettable moment of conviviality and taste! If you like meat, we recommend you try the wagyu beef (or Kobe beef): tender, melting and absolutely divine.
