OMG: Every time we dine there we are blown away by the flavors, the presentation .. the innovative plates that Koji comes up with. Took some friends for their first experience and all they have said since is BEST MEAL IN PARIS that they have enjoyed. Last time we had sea urchin risotto, this time langostine risotto. Sweet breads with stuffed morels .. The capellini caprese was so delightful. The scallops and white asparagus was so innovative with layers of crisps and carbonara sauce! As always his wine pairing perfectly matched the flavors of the meal..

L’Inconnu is a marvelous restaurant. The chef has travelled the world and his cuisine reflects it. An extremely creative mix of Asian, Japanese and Italian influences await you. The meal was great. Service was impeccable. The restaurant is small — 6 tables max — and that feeds directly into the classy, romantic, date night vibe the place exudes. Bottom line: a winner.

Whenever they have lobster pasta, I always order it. It's my favorite pasta. This dish is delicate and light, so even a tired stomach can easily finish it. I recommend making a reservation midway through your trip.

We have eaten here for night eve. Menù was amazing and service amazing. Maybe a bit long but food was so good that it worth the time spent.

L'Inconnu is one of the restaurants I always visit when I come to Paris. This time, I had the course meal with pasta, and it was excellent as always. Everything is delicious, from the appetizer to the dessert, but the pasta is truly exquisite. I'm always amazed that I can eat such delicious pasta in Paris. This time, I experienced a blissful pasta dish with the luxurious aroma of white truffles for dinner. It was a delicate and impressive dish.

Food is average and pricy. They charge €220 per person for the Christmas Eve dinner. I expect some surprise but only the scallops is good. The foie gras and the wagyu(+€45) is so greasy. I don’t get the quality and price they offer. I guess food worths €100 and they take €120 for the tip.

Everything from start to finish was excellent !!! Our favorite were the Japanese wagyu and the scallops it was definitely defined, if you are in Paris you need to visit this place it’s a must 😉

The food at l’Inconnue is exquisite. The former Passage 53 sous chef expertly combines textures, temperatures, flavors, and ingredients to create truly outstanding cuisine. Hiroko’s impeccable service makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

italian food, good service

We loved everything about L’Inconnu: the refined dishes, rooted in Italian cuisine but cooked with Japanese precision and care, the friendly service, the beautiful dining room, cutlery and crockery and the classical music playing in the background. We hope to be back soon!

The dining room was small, well-spaced, and stylish. Service was perfect. The 3-course menu included complimentary amuse-bouche of octopus in a Japanese style jelled sauce served with cutlery from the freezer (very interesting addition, never saw before), mild mackerel with a ratatouille-esque sauce, Guinea hen with an enriched stock sauce and delicious greens, a fluffy cheese cake over cherry compote and very crispy cookie crumbs, all surrounded by a crackly thin pastry wrapper, and complimentary cookies. Our server was attentive, and promptly called a taxi for us that came right away. Couldn’t ask for more!

Firenze meets Omotesando in Paris. Great combination of savors in a serene and simple ambience aided by a very attentive service..

Wonderful Italian in the middle of the left bank. Started off with an amuse of cappellini, followed by a fresh salmon entree, a fish plat and a sweet peach tart. Fabulous presentation with great service.

Christmas day luncheon. Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this restaurant.

L’Inconnu is truly extraordinary- we have dined here a number of times since its opening, and each meal is a unique experience. The courses are ingenuously created and perfectly prepared, from the finest ingredients. If a diner has an allergy and alerts the chef in advance, a substitute dish is specially constructed, just as enticing. A lovely and quiet room, personal and attentive service, and always a memorable lunch or dinner.

Service was tres bonne. Sweet direct simple. Unfortunately the food was extremely mediocre , uninventive, un creative, truly unfortunate, extremely mediocre.. then if if could not get worse, during our mediocrity the chef began to yell crudely at the very sweet, helpful service staff from the kitchen so loudly that the clients were embarrassed. We were all looking around sadly because she has been the best part of the evening and unfortunately understood enough of what He was saying that he was blaming his stress on her. It was an awful evening, thanks to an awful chef.

As always we had an excellent meal with friendly service in an elegant setting. The ingredients are fresh and seasonal and the dishes are innovative and delicious. Highly recommended !

Excellent food, alternating between really inventive dishes and more traditional ones exceptionally well cooked. And, as a rarity in Paris, generous spacing between the tables.

We had a fantastic lunch at the inconnu, lof of creativity and an outstanding execution - the mix of italian and japanese influences is a small miracle. The wine list is very rich and we had a great Brunelo de Montalcino that was just perfect with the lunch.
8.0
Not bad if you like seafood in Italian style, Most dishes are cold or lukewarm. The chef tries his best to maximize the flavor of each ingredient. The wine pairing is average but not exciting. The atmosphere is very nice as the music is all about Chopin piano works. However, the restroom’s stool has very loud flushing sounds which affects the dining mood, especially for customers sitting in front of it.
