We arrived at Towa expecting a warm welcome and a confirmed reservation. I hadn’t anticipated the need to reconfirm by email or phone, especially since no such instruction was given. Upon arrival, the chef’s wife informed me that there was no reservation because I hadn’t returned her call. I explained that I never received a call — I’m on an int’l number, so it would’ve been unlikely. She then shifted to say she had emailed me and I hadn’t replied. I hadn’t expected an email either. Despite our explanation, she insisted the restaurant was fully booked and no table was available. It was only after my friend mentioned that we had come all the way from Singapore that she, somewhat reluctantly, seated us at a table. The restaurant, I later observed, was not full. While the food was good, the experience left a sour note. The table we were shown to was sticky at the sides and hadn’t been properly cleaned. The service staff also didn’t speak much English to properly describe the dishes.

Loved the duck pie with fois gras, and I suggest the citron merignue dessert, too. Both suggested as specialities. There was also a fois ravioli app as a part of the menu. 👍

What a place and maybe the best dish I have ever eaten. As soon as I saw 'Duck and Fois Gras Pie' on the menu I knew it was for me and it was amazing. Starter of ceviche fish and dessert of creme brulee also both excellent. Service was faultless and I'm really looking forward to going back before too long. It's honestly worth a trip to Paris to have lunch here!!

This little restaurant was a wonderful discovery. The description of "fine French cuisine with a Japanese flair" is entirely apt. I will definitely return.

Wow! This had to be one of the best meals I have ever had. It was delicious from start to finish. The food was amazing, the staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the food and wine. If I am ever in France again I would go again, just to see what else the chef could come up with.

A Very good tasting menu with great service, but not a “must must” if your in paris for a short period. But we’ll worth a visit if your in paris for a longer period. Suitable for all types of small groups, families or couples.
