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 step through the door ofAccents Table Bourse, a stone's throw from the Palais de la Bourse. The restaurant, which met with great success from the moment it opened in 2016, has since been awardeda star by the Michelin guide in 2019, and continues to build on its success, showcasing a certain idea of fine, sensitive and delicate gastronomy, at the confines of French and Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant is the work ofAyumi Sugiyama, a pastry chef by trade and the restaurant's owner, which is no small detail given how rare it is for a chef in charge of the sweet side of things to also be the mistress of the premises. Trained in French pastry-making at the Tsuji School in Tokyo, she left her childhood country to settle in France, and soon dreamed of opening her first Parisian address.

Hand in hand with Romain Mahi, her chef partner trained at the Ecole Ferrandi, who has worked at some of the finest restaurants in Latin America and France, including the Mandarin Oriental under Thierry Marx, and is now at the helm ofAccents Table Bourse, the Japanese chef has imagined a place in her own image. So it's only natural that the dishes on the tables are the work of the tandem, as are the origami sculptures and the elegant, uncluttered and refined decor.

Accents Table Bourse is first and foremost a certain idea of French gastronomy, infused withJapanese inspiration, and patisserie with classic French codes, but steeped in Japanese sensibility. At lunchtime, you can indulge in a 3-course meal (52€), a 4-course meal (65€) or a 6-course meal (100€), while in the evening, a classic or vegetarian tasting menu is available at 100€ for a 6-course meal, or 170€ with wine and food pairings.

Accents Table Bourse serves up a precise, technical menu throughout lunch, but always without overdoing it, or at least not showing it - and that's perhaps the most impressive thing about it; with sometimes daring pairings (black pudding-banana), an undeniably important place for land and sea, and the crystal-clear desire for instinctive cuisine, all in the hands of an attentive, caring team.

The rest, in pictures.
