When Restaurant Pages first opened in the 16th arrondissement in 2014, the city’s esteemed food critics unanimously clamored, “the sensation of la rentrée!” Not far from the avenue Kléber and the Arc de Triomphe, Japanese chef Ryuji Teshima creates beautiful artistic compositions for each plate. o the delight of guests, there’s an open-kitchen to watch him at work.
A careful attention to aesthetic details such as a striking flower arrangement in a vase placed in the sunlight, black modernist lamps contrasting against white walls and tablecloths and custom Limoges porcelain plates etched with flowers add to the sensory experience.
The menu demonstrates the chef’s finesse with fish, vegetables and meats sourced from the best butcher in Paris. The menu is surprising and playful and features creations like a croquette with foie gras, lieu jaune topped with a delicate crust of puffed rice and veal tartare smoked in hay.
