L'Abysse Paris

A Japanese sushi maestro, outstanding quality ingredients (ikejime fish) and the creative hallmark of Yannick Alléno paint the gourmet portrait. The pared-back dining room is decked in work by contemporary artists. Add to this the tip-top service typical of a high-flying establishment, a sumptuous wine list full of rare sakes and 12 seats at the pale wood counter, where you are right in the middle of the action. Sensational!
