Kei - Michelin 3-Star Restaurant PARIS
Tucked away in a vibrant neighbourhood of Paris, Kei Restaurant, holds an enviable gastronomic pedigree. With three Michelin stars and a Gault & Millau rating of four toques, Kei has quickly established itself as a must-visit lunch and dinner destination. Its high ratings on Google and TripAdvisor attest to the consistent excellence that diners can expect.
The restaurant itself is an epitome of elegant minimalism. Upon entering, you are greeted by a color scheme of grey leather, marble, and Murano glass. The subdued atmosphere allows for the cuisine to take centre stage, each table a private world of gastronomic delight.
At the helm of Kei's kitchen is Chef Kei Kobayashi. Hailing from Nagano, Japan, Kobayashi cut his teeth in the esteemed kitchens of triple Michelin-starred chefs Gilles Goujon and Alain Ducasse. The chef's admiration for French cuisine is palpable in his culinary style, that expertly merges Japanese subtlety with French sophistication.
Kei's menu is a journey through exquisite flavours and textures. A main course of Wagyu beef from Kagoshima is beautifully marbled and seared to perfection, revealing smoky, nutty nuances. Other standouts include the Scottish langoustine with its bisque, and the bar in puffed lemon scales and pesto ink. Drinks are equally impressive, curated by a sommelier who ensures each glass of wine complements your chosen dishes. Starters and desserts are a surprise, evolving with the seasons and the chef's inspirations. Booking is essential to experience this symphony of courses, as the restaurant's popularity among international and local clientele is growing.
