Paris, France

Named "the most underrated Japanese chef in Paris" by Vice, Atsushi Tanaka is a well‑known figure in chef circles, with mentor Pierre Gagnaire dubbing him "the Picasso of the kitchen". With praise like that, it's only natural to set high expectations for his eponymous restaurant, just a stone's throw from the Sorbonne. Tanaka's inventive blend of Japanese and French flavours is served through meticulously plated courses available either as a shorter seven‑course lunch menu or the signature 13‑course experience offered throughout the day. Expect an aerated spider crab soup rimmed with tiny oval carrot petals and a cubist mosaic of daikon and sea bass alongside an accompaniment of roe trout dressed with yuzu. In keeping with Tanaka's controlled, expressive cuisine, the dining room is a zen‑minimalist temple. where spotlights and simple Nordic furniture are a stage for his artfully precise dishes to shine.
