Are you familiar withthe art of teppanyaki? The word teppanyaki comes from "teppan," the heated iron plate, and "yaki," which means grilled or pan-fried. Born in Japan in the 20th century, this style of cooking has become popular around the world for its spectacular presentation and minute-by-minute cooking. In Paris, several restaurants now offer this uniqueculinary experience, where the chef becomes an artist, wielding the spatula with pinpoint precision while cooking in front of guests.
In a teppanyaki restaurant, sitting around the hot plate becomes a gastronomic theater. Fish, meat, vegetables, and seafood are seared before the eyes of gourmets in a meticulously choreographed performance, with jets of steam, controlled flames, and rapid movements. The show is an integral part of the meal and is undeniably a convivial experience, to be enjoyed as a couple or in a small group.
In Paris, several Japanese restaurants have carefully imported this Japanese tradition. You'll find perfectly grilled wagyu beef fillet, pearly scallops, crunchy vegetables, all accompanied by homemade soy sauce and freshly sautéed rice. While some of these establishments opt for a sober and traditional atmosphere, others focus on a contemporary setting closer to that of the great fusion restaurants.
It's simple, teppanyaki doesn't cheat: everything happens right in front of you, making it a transparent and delicious cuisine. The artistry of the chef's movements, the heat of the fire, the minimalism of the ingredients... everything here highlights the essentials. Halfway between a gourmet restaurant and a culinary show, teppanyaki is a unique experience to enjoy in Paris. Try it at least once to combine taste, spectacle, and a change of scenery!
