My husband and I celebrated for our anniversary at the restaurant and sat at the bar. The experience was phenomenal, the food delicious and we appreciated all the knowledge shared about the wine and sake pairing we got with our tasting. I can’t wait to go back.

I had the most incredible Japanese dining experience at Akabeko in Paris! The food was absolutely exquisite, with every dish bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The service was top-notch—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel at home, ensuring every detail was perfect. Whether you’re a fan of sushi, ramen, or other Japanese delicacies, Akabeko is a must-visit. Truly a gem in Paris—I’ll definitely be back!

What an experience! Everything about Akabeko I 5Star. I am very surprised they don’t have a Michelin star yet. The quality and presentation of the food, the outstanding service and the value-for-money, the dining room - are all first class

The dining experience at Akabeko was exceptional. Each dish, service, plating, wine, and ambiance were top-notch. Despite dining alone, I felt at ease. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere was delightful, and I would love to visit again.

I had lunch at Akabeko on Thursday 07 December 2023. This lunch was absolutely fabulous. First, i have been to more 2 and 3 star restaurants than i can easily count including Guy Savoy Paris, Taillivent Paris, Maison Rostang Paris, Le Bernardin New York, Bareiss Restaurant Baiersbronn Mittletal, Paul Bocuse Lyon, Petit Nice Marseilles, etc, etc. so i know a good one when i see it. Akabeko is absolutely equal to any of those i listed above. Look for this place to get a star when the next version of the red guide comes out. You get a choice between 3, 5 or 7 courses, I took the 5 with the wine pairings. Everything was perfect, There is a precision of cooking and balance of flavors at this restaurant that is absolutely fabulous. A while back there was a similar restaurant in Paris, 1 star, called Hiramatsu, that seems to not have survived the pandemic. It was a French restaurant with Japanese ownership. Akabeko reminds me a lot of Hiramatsu but is better! I have a new favorite now when i go to Paris.

One of the best Japanese restaurant outside Japan. I think I visited at least 100 Japanese restaurant all over the world but this is the best . The only thing I have to say is that the wine list recharged too much the real wine prices

This is an extraordinary restaurant, with a wonderful tasting menu made even better by a thoughtful and creative choice of wines to accompany each dish. All with warm and friendly service. Right now Akebeko is one of the best in Paris.
