Looking for a discreet, elegant restaurant that honors Japanese cuisine with Latin influences? Then why not stop by Hokusai, the hidden restaurant of the Hôtel Le Metropolitan, well known for its suite with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower?
As soon as we arrive, we discover a sober, uncluttered decor that perfectly matches the culinary experience on offer. The menu is an invitation to travel, where the classics of Japanese cuisine are awakened by Latin touches. Whether you're a fan of sushi or curious about South American flavors, the diversity of dishes delights both the palate and the eyes. In fact, some dishes are veritable tableaux that delight the eye before satisfying the palate.
Among the must-try dishes, the spicy tuna crujiente combines crispy rice, truffle tarama, spicy red tuna and a touch of jalapeños. A subtle fusion of crunchy and melt-in-your-mouth flavors, enhanced by a hint of spiciness. Another great discovery is the Salmon Tiradito, where the freshness of the fish is combined with a delicately tangy tiradito sauce.
Signature rolls are also a sensation, notably the Shirumi, a refined marriage of sea bass, truffled tarama, avocado, cooked shrimp and onion pickles. For lovers of hot cuisine, the Smoked Black Angus sublimates Japanese influences with a sauce combining miso, ponzu and chimichurri.
For our part, we treat ourselves to a fine assortment of Nigiri, from salmon to sea bream, red tuna and amberjack.
The Chirashi is a dish in itself, as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. The different flavors come together with pleasure. Combined with a vegetable tempura of shitake, peppers, mushrooms and shiso leaf, it's a real treat.
For dessert, Yuzu crème sésame concludes the meal on a light, fragrant note, combining creamy yuzu, homemade ice cream and crunchy meringue. The sake and wine list harmoniously accompanies these culinary discoveries.
With its meticulous service and hushed ambience, Hokusai is a must-try gourmet address in Paris. Ideal for a romantic dinner or a meal with friends, this fusion restaurant seduces as much by its originality as by the excellence of its dishes.
With a lunch menu ranging from 29€ to 34€, as well as plates to share for an evening meal with friends or loved ones, Hokusai has everything you need to have a great time. It's a great way to show off while enjoying top-notch service.
