Accents Table Bourse, Ayumi Sugiyama's delicate starred restaurant

Delicacy, refinement and elegance are all terms that describe Accents Table Bourse, the first restaurant of Japanese pastry chef Ayumi Sugiyama, just a stone's throw from the Palais Brongniart, which has been awarded a Michelin star.

A cloud of a thousand origami cranes, supposed to bring good luck, greets those who pass the door ofAccents Table Bourse, just a stone's throw from the Palais de la Bourse. The restaurant, which met with great success as soon as it opened in 2016, has since been awardeda star by the Michelin guide in 2019, and continues to build on its momentum, introducing a certain idea of fine, sensitive and delicate gastronomy, at the confines of French and Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant is the work ofAyumi Sugiyama, pastry chef and owner of the restaurant, a detail that is not a minor one as it is rare that a chef in charge of the sweet part is also the mistress of the place. Trained in French pastry at the Tsuji School in Tokyo, she left her childhood country to settle in France and quickly dreamed of opening her first Parisian address.

Hand in hand with Romain Mahi, her chef's partner trained at the Ferrandi School, who has worked in fine restaurants in Latin America and in France, including the Mandarin Oriental under the direction of Thierry Marx, and who is now in charge of the stoves atAccents Table Bourse, the Japanese chef has imagined a place that reflects her image. It is therefore quite natural that the tableware on the tables is the work of the tandem, just like the origami sculpture and the elegant, refined and refined decoration.

Accents Table Bourse is above all a certain idea of French gastronomy, transpersed withJapanese inspirations, and of a pastry with classic French codes, but steeped in Japanese sensibility. At lunchtime, it is possible to be transported in 3 times (52€), in 4 times (65€) or in 6 times (100€), while in the evening, the tasting menu in classic or vegetarian version is proposed at 100€ in 6 times, 170€ with food and wine pairing.

It is a precise and technical menu that Accents Table Bourse offers throughout lunch, but always without overdoing it, or at least without showing it - and this is perhaps the most amazing thing; with sometimes daring agreements (blood sausage-banana), an undeniably important place left to the land-sea, and the desire, as clear as water, of an instinctive cuisine, all in the hands of an attentive and caring team.
