KEI

One Michelin star, Japanese-French cuisine on par with sola. There are two menus for lunch, and we ordered an 8-course set. The salad appetizer was amazing, the main course was bar and veal, both of which were normal, and the dessert had a chocolate-like design that was full of childhood memories.

The dishes are mainly French, and the selection and seasoning of ingredients reveal the exquisiteness of Japanese style. Tasting Menu Every dish is satisfying from beginning to end, and even the bread is baked just right, soft and tough. If I have to name my favorite, it must be the garden salad presented in the form of molecular cuisine, with sweet and sour seasoning, rich ingredients, and distinct layers. Each vegetable is full of freshness and essential taste, which is very amazing. If the service and wine pairing are slightly improved, it is just around the corner to win another star.

This restaurant has been upgraded to a Michelin three-star hotel. The dishes here are very creative. The seafood is very good, with a bit of the feel of Japanese-French cuisine. The dishes are indeed very delicious.

You must eat French food when you come to Paris, but I don't like traditional French food, so I chose Kei, a fusion of Japan and France, which has two Michelin stars in Paris. It is relatively easy to make a reservation. The official website is very simple to make an appointment. The email replies are timely and the attitude is very good. I went to Paris on time for lunch at noon on the first day of arrival in Paris in the rain. It is close to the Louvre and hidden on an inconspicuous street. The door is a typical Japanese-style French restaurant, which is similar to many restaurants in Tokyo. When you walk in, you will find that many people who come to eat are Japanese in France. Since it is a fusion of Japan and France, Kei's style is not as noble and luxurious as ordinary French restaurants. It is simple and low-key, which pleases me. The waiters are more pleasing to the eye, whether they are Japanese or French. In the end, I was honored to invite the chef to let me take pictures. There is not much prelude, and the dishes are served very quickly. The appetizers are quite rich, which is very satisfactory. The taste is creative, not the kind of old-fashioned French food, I have to give it a thumbs up The goat milk jelly with sardines tastes surprisingly good, and I have to praise that I accidentally broke the dish when taking pictures, and the waiter next to me immediately replaced it. Even the Japanese waiter speaks English very fluently. The butter at Kei is so rich and fragrant, it should be better than what I have eaten in other Michelin three-star French restaurants, and the bread is softer than ordinary European bread. It is so delicious that I ate several in a row and just dipped all the butter. The taste is indeed suitable for Asians. The first oyster, using French Girardot, is fresh and tender, and the dish is also very fresh. The addition of fresh cream makes the taste of oysters richer. The creative salad is also very suitable for my appetite. It looks a bit like molecular cuisine from the outside, but there are mysteries inside. Many sashimi commonly used in Japanese food are mixed with fresh fruits and vegetables, and the sauce is also delicious. The next dish is mashed potatoes stewed in cream cheese broth with Spanish top ham, which tastes slightly salty but wonderful. Fried sea bream is a common dish in high-end Japanese cuisine. It appears on the French table. Not only does it look better, but it also tastes moderately sweet and sour. In short, it is refreshing and pleasant. The dessert at the end is simply magnificent. The yellow shell is meringue but not too sweet. The sorbet inside is very refreshing, and the mango blends with the citrus flavor, which is just right for refreshing the mouth. The final farewell dessert is not sloppy at all, chocolate and strawberry flavored snacks, a small cup of mocha, a perfect dining experience. 58 euros plus related service fees and taxes, paid 70 euros, which is extremely cost-effective. A normal Michelin meal in Paris will cost more than 100 euros. The bathroom is also very interesting. In short, it has a strong sense of modernity. If you want to experience a high-end Michelin restaurant in Paris without spending too much money, come to kei.

We went to the restaurant on the evening of the 22nd and there were only four set menus to choose from. Because we don't eat poultry, my friend and I chose the two most expensive set menus, one was 280 euros and the main course was wagyu beef, and the other was 220 euros. The main course was also beef, but not as good as the wagyu beef. I forgot the details. She ordered a glass of pink champagne, which I didn't drink. The bread, cheese and olive oil were very good. The bread was dry, but I liked it very much. The olive oil was of good quality and tasted good with bread. However, the main course disappointed us a little. Neither of us finished it. I liked the restaurant environment very much, and the service was good, but I myself would not go there again. The main reason was economic, because my friend is a chef and a food expert, so she would have this trip.
