Le Bar des Prés
It’s no secret that Parisian chef Cyril Lignac has a weakness for Japanese cuisine, as proved by his establishment of the Le Bar des Prés, well known by Parisian foodies. The menu will have you wide-eyed: goma-ae with fresh green veggies, lobster from Brittany and a sesame cream; crispy cakes, crab with madras curry, avocados, and green lime (an Instagram star); sashimi of yellowtail or red tuna, maki of jellied eel, matcha chiffon cake, chocolate fondue…. Not to mention the cocktails, complete with a Tokyo Garden, (Hendrick’s gin, shizo leaf, sake, yuzu, lychee juice) which awakens the senses, and a Summer Julip (Bache Gabrielsen cognac, peach puree, fresh verbena, Montenegro) which calms them.
The restaurant is decorated with exposed piping, wicker lights, a long backlit wooden bar, and peacock feather pattern benches immersed in semi-darkness, which plays it nicely did-you-see-me-as-I-see-you. It leans on the bar, with a cozy ambience. The waiter and service are good.
