Published by Communiqué Sponsorisé · Updated on June 2, 2026 at 02:24 p.m.
The must-visit spot for summer evenings. In a quiet street in the heart of the 10th arrondissement, you'll find the restaurant Espace Gohan. A Japanese restaurant offering a genuine menu worthy of a Japanese izakaya at night. The concept is to share plenty of authentic small plates around drinks, and to savor the evening!

L’Espace Gohan

Since opening in October 2024, Espace Gohan has been a Japanese restaurant with a menu that evolves as the day unfolds.

At noon, have your lunch in Japanese style with a teishoku prepared fresh that day. It changes weekly! This is a set meal consisting of a main dish (meat, fish, or vegetarian), with rice, miso soup, and several small sides. We recommend the option with the onigiri!
Laprès-midi, take a relaxing break in the book-café. The atmosphere is calm and there are plenty of Japanese or French books to browse on site. We recommend the matcha latte crafted by the barista, with the dessert of the day always excellent.
In the evening, explore subtle, savory flavors around small Japanese dishes. The chef has designed a menu worthy of a bistronomique restaurant, with a focus on Japan’s regions. The drinks list, featuring regional sake, shōchū, wine, beer, or soft drinks, brightens your night! We suggest booking your table in advance!

The izakaya at Espace Gohan welcomes you in a softly lit setting. On the menu, you’ll find vegetarian dishes, as well as fish or meat options, and even gluten-free choices. But note, the menu changes regularly to reflect the seasons!

For summer dining, you’ll discover new dishes: furofuki daikon with its miso sauce, roasted asparagus with miso glaze, a tataki of Katsuo (bonito), a sunomono (cucumber, seaweed and octopus vinegar salad), etc. And on top of that, new summer drinks are on the menu (sakes and original cocktails)! The venue is truly ideal for a night out with friends, family, or even a romantic evening.
