Chef Toru Okuda has several Michelin stars in Tokyo. He wants to shine in Paris, France because the Kaiseki food can only be compared to the French cuisine, he says.

The interior of the restaurant is simple and pure. Take some time, it takes more or less 2 hours for the Kaiseki ritual which consists of a lot small plates with very fresh products.

When you leave the place, you will be surprised of such delicacies, the zen spirit brings you a little bit in Japan.

A cocktailbar with a Polynesian theme where you can sit in the couch of Emmanuelle while sipping classical cocktails.

The boys behind the bar a busy shaking in their Hawaïn shirt, don’t worry, it still stays in a way classy.

The place is a former hostess-bar (cfr the name), and you still can feel the ambiance.

New kid on the block, around the corner of the romantic studioloft and very tasty.

The ambiance of the restaurant is convivial: all plates are made for tasting (half the menu is à partager and half is à deguster) while a wall-length banquette, a countertop bar, and a lofty, clean space make for plenty of standing room and encourage intergroup mingling. A place for lovers and friends, Braisenville seems to abide by two credos: 1) patience is a virtue and 2) sharing is caring. Hey, maybe you’ll even make enough friends to order the chef’s colossal masterpiece: the black angus côte de bœuf. Ohhh, the art of braise.
