Si la perfection peut se trouver c’est à cette table qu’on peut la goûter. Explosion de saveur à chaque plat, les cuissons sont maîtrisées à l’extrême. Plats très aérés, le chef fait un usage extensif du siphon comme on peut l’observer sur les photos.
Nous avons eu la chance de déguster l’oreiller de la belle aurore préparé pour une table seulement.
La carte des vins est très fournies cependant les prix sont assez élevés.

Amazing restaurant with superb food. Service was impeccable and food was simply divine. The amazing salad first dish really set the tone and every dish after proceeded to impress.
Pacing of the dishes was rather slow and I did wish the courses would arrive quicker. However, every dish was presented meticulously and I have nothing bad to say about the dishes.
Goat cheese is definitely polarising but they can do a swap if that is not your preference.
I would definitely return when I visit Paris again!

It wasn't a bad meal per se, but unfortunately it was very far from a 3-Michelin-star experience.
I went on January 31st with a friend for dinner, and we picked the 440 euro menu. The appetizers were quite nice and the salad with the citrus foam was super fresh and delicious. The langostine was the highlight of the evening and the beef was good, but unless they dry age it themselves, there was not much added to the quality of the meat itself.
There were many hiccups with service. They'd come and ask us to choose things like the wine, or the menu or the truffle supplement, after we had already chosen with other waiters. Also, they served the meat dish from another table to us and I noticed before my friend started eating hers (they served her wagyu when we hadn't ordered it). When I pointed it out to the servers they realized the mistake and simply took the dishes back to the kitchen, counted to 3, and came back with them for the other table. The same dishes that had been sitting in front of us, on our table, for a good couple of minutes right before. In a regular restaurant that would be passable, but in a 3-Michelin star, no. Especially because my friend had a bit of a cold and the dished they served to the other table sat in front of her for a good while.
Also, the dessert was very bad. It was asthetically unappealing, looking like a sort of baby yellow soccer ball. Then it was very cold and very citrusy. Not a winter dessert at all... more of a summer dessert. Didn't finish the winter menu on the right note in my opinion.
Additionally, the wines on the list were severely overpriced for what they were.
I'm giving it 4 stars because I'm not a jerk. It was a pretty decent meal; but when you go to (and pay for) a 3-michelin start, you expect a different level, and it was not delivered. I'd give it one star at best.

2ヶ月ちょっと前に予約を入れ、妻とディナーに伺いました、オープンが19時45分と日本とは少し時間のづれが有ります、一番最初の入店です、席に案内されメニューを
オーダー、アミューズ
3種、前菜はレモンの泡と数種のハーブに包まれた野菜やサーモン等のサラダ、崩して混ぜて食べるスタイルのサラダで、楽しみながらいただけます、次に牡蠣です、ジュレとキャビア、食用の花、赤紫蘇風味だと思いますが赤い玉状の物が乗ってました、失礼ながら聞き逃しました、お魚は鱸の鱗焼き、トンナートソース、イタリアのソースと言ってました、もう一つの方は赤いフルーツのソース、プチサラダ添え、次にラングスティーヌの料理、軽くスモークしてあり下に茸が添えてありました、メーンが鳩のロースト赤味噌風味、こちらは馴染みのある日本の味がしました、美味しかったです、鱸もラングスティーヌも鳩も
火入れと言うんでしょうか、しっとり、ジューシーに仕上がっていて、素晴らしいと思います、デザートはパッションフルーツのヴァシュランびっくり箱見たいな物でした、美味しいです、さすが日本初の3星シェフです、ご馳走さまでした。

Une salle lumineuse et minérale tout en demeurant chaleureuse grâce à l’atmosphère apportée par l’équipe en salle tout en sourire et prévenance pour vous assurer une soirée d’exception…
L’esthétisme et l’épure à la japonaise alliée à l’onctuosité et la gourmandise à la française, telle peut être résumée la cuisine du chef. Des sauces profondes et racées pour nourrir des gnocchis à la truffe et parmesan gourmands aériens et réconfortants ou une biche tendre et délicieuse… un plat emblématique du chef résumant son esprit et absolument Génial : le jardin de légumes et fleurs dans un espuma tout en légèreté et dans l’esthétisme que l’équipe vous invite à « détruire « littéralement pour le mélanger jusqu’à ne ressembler à rien qu’un amas verdoyant afin de lui faire prendre une toute autre dimension : la mâche croquante et vivace d’une chlorophylle merveilleusement adoucie par une sauce gourmande et régressive… Une douce folie….
Le pain, le beurre et l’huile à disposition entre France et italie rajoute à cet esprit gourmand et généreux… A faire pour un très très beau moment !!!

Dîner exceptionnel avec une cuisine très originale maîtrisée à la perfection - c’est le meilleur restaurant que nous avons fait pour l’instant. Le rythme de service est parfait, le dîner dure environ 3h mais nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Les portions ont exactement la bonne quantité. La seule chose que nous avons regretté par rapport à d’autres restaurants étoilés que nous avons visités est que la présentation des plats reste uniquement descriptive (voici une huître avec a/b/c) plutôt que de nous raconter l’histoire du plat, ou l’intention du chef. Cela nous aurait permis de voyager encore davantage. Mais vraiment une très belle expérience que nous renouvellerons avec plaisir!

A Memorable Evening at Kei ????
Last year, I had the privilege of dining at Kei Restaurant, a culinary jewel tucked away in the bustling heart of Paris. Chef Kei Kobayashi, a maestro in the kitchen, expertly weaves his Japanese heritage with French culinary traditions, crafting an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
The Setting: A Blend of Elegance and Comfort ✨
As I stepped into Kei, I was immediately enveloped in an ambiance that blended modern chic with traditional elegance. The décor was both inviting and stylish, with soft lighting and gentle music creating a serene dining atmosphere. It felt like a cozy retreat in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle.
The Culinary Journey ????
Art on a Plate (????): Each dish was a visual masterpiece, showcasing Chef Kobayashi's artistic flair. The vibrant colors, varied textures, and meticulous presentation transformed every course into a visual feast.
A Flavorful Fusion (????????????): The harmonious blend of Japanese precision with French culinary artistry resulted in flavors that were both bold and refined. Each bite was a delightful surprise, with layers of flavor unfolding in a dance of taste.
Top-Notch Ingredients (????): The emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients was palpable. Every dish sang with natural, fresh flavors, epitomizing the essence of the season's best offerings.
An Inventive Menu (????): The menu was a testament to the chef's innovative spirit. Each dish was a unique creation, marrying ingredients in ways I never imagined would pair so beautifully.
Wine Pairing Perfection (????): The extensive wine list was impressive, and the sommelier's expert pairings elevated the dining experience, complementing each dish to perfection.
Service That Makes a Difference (⭐)
The staff at Kei were nothing short of exceptional. Their attention to detail, deep knowledge, and genuine warmth made us feel truly special. They struck the perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion, enhancing the overall experience.
The Only Downside
A Hefty Price Tag (????): The one drawback of Kei Restaurant is its high prices. It's definitely more suited for special occasions than regular dining, but the extraordinary experience justifies the expense.
Wrapping It Up
Dining at Kei was a magical experience. The fusion of Japanese and French cuisines, coupled with impeccable service and an elegant ambiance, made it an evening to remember. It stands out as a gastronomic gem in Paris, perfect for those special moments when you want to indulge in something truly exceptional. Despite the cost, the quality and uniqueness of the experience make it well worth the investment. Kei Restaurant is not just a meal; it's a celebration of culinary artistry and passion. ????️????

Deux repas à quelques mois d'intervalle (ante et post COVID), tous deux fabuleux. Le restaurant mérite bien sa promotion récente au Michelin. La cuisine est à la fois imaginative et précise. Le menu de midi est tarifé très raisonnablement pour cette qualité. La carte des vins, elle, reste améliorable. Une grande table. On y retournera pour les gibiers (en réservant, comme il se doit, trois mois à l'avance …).
Retour en 2023. La carte des vins est plus fournie, mais aussi plus chère. La cuisine est toujours impeccable. Belle huitre au raifort. Magnifique homard sauce piment, juste relevée comme il faut – une de nos meilleurs plats de l'année. Idem pour le pigeon au BBQ, laqué au miso. L'un des meilleurs restaurants de Paris. Et l'on apprécie la modestie et la simplicité de l'équipe en cuisine et en salle.

Nous étions installés dans une petite alcôve au calme. Menu du midi très abordable auquel nous avons rajouté un supplément pour goûter au beuf waygu (à la place d'un plat de pigeon).
Le déjeuner va crescendo, sublime salade colorée qu'il faut bien mélanger avec son émulsion, risotto parfait, viande extraordinaire de fondant, désert à la fraise sous son dôme de meringue délicieux.
Poignée de main du chef en sortant.
Nous reviendrons !

La seule déception est le cadre que j'ai trouvé un peu froid et la disposition des tables de deux peu confortable car on est assis presque côte à côte ce qui oblige à se tourner pendant tout le repas.
En dehors de ça, cela reste une expérience extraordinaire.
