Champs-Élysées

About the restaurant

L'Orangerie is a veritable glass jewel, offering an unobstructed view of the famous Marble Courtyard. As night falls, the atmosphere flooding this glasshouse becomes intimate and magical: the perfect moment to enter the refined universe of this restaurant awarded with two Michelin stars.

Bold and creative, chef Alan Taudon has made the radical choice of a unique and responsible culinary signature, exclusively focused on plant-based and seafood. Showcasing inventiveness and modernity, reinterpreting the codes of French haute cuisine, this lover of sauces imagines delicate and subtle compositions carried by techniques that impress with their innovative character. A true ode to true and sincere taste, where each plate is a feat of lightness and concentration of aromas. A vegetable-based gastronomic experience conducive to a sensory escape, enhanced by delicate sweet bites signed by pastry chef Michael Bartocetti.

It's hard to go wrong in Paris. Dinner was a 6 course tasting menu that they modified for me - my husband had the menu as it was. They also came up with an excellent bottle of wine - more expensive than the dinner but well worth it. The staff was lovely and the menu was very creative. I see another Michelin star in their future! We will go back the next time we are in Paris.

Did the 5 course menu with a 4 glass wine pairing. An excellent way to try some outstanding dishes. Enjoyed the amuse-bouche. The two starters I had were the amberjack in a delicious ponzu bergamont sauce and the scallops. My fish dish was a great pollock and my meat dish was the beef tenderloin. The beef tenderloin was perfectly cooked! Dessert was the incredible vanilla pana cotta! Absolutely loved the dessert!

About the restaurant

In the kitchen of this Japanese address near the Olympia Paris 9th, our chef RAOUL interprets the great classics of Japanese gastronomy, but does not shy away from links with French cuisine either. At dinner, the chef takes care to imagine the menu for his customers by offering an “omakase” in 7 Japanese tapas according to their mood and the seasons. The AO Japanese restaurant also offers, like the Izakayas of Tokyo, a menu of hot and cold Japanese tapas. During the week, discover authentic tempuras, sushi and Sashimi made to order by a Japanese chef. Typically Japanese Bentos are offered at lunch.

We didn’t realize this was a vegan sushi place and 2 of our 4 were thinking we should leave but we decided to stay and try something new and it was so good. We were happily surprised by all of the dishes and we’d go back.
