Chez Miki

This Japanese restaurant only just opened up in June of this year (2007). The chef is Ayako Miki, who learned her craft at Le Cordon Bleu. After going to France in 1996 she was able to open the shop of her dreams on the street popularly referred to as Japan Street, near the Opera House.
Chez Miki is a small store that stands out due to its lovely, orange eaves. Just looking at the menu written on the blackboard out front will have your stomach growling. Chef Miki has lined up a lot of items rich in variety in order to earn the nickname of Western Japanese Food for her restaurant. In the simple interior of the compact restaurant youll find a very calm atmosphere. And since there are seats at the counter, its easy to come in and eat alone as well.
First, youll smile at the lovely arrangement of food and its beautiful hues.

Then when you take your first bite youll know without a doubt that it is the flavor that can only come from the delicate hands of a female chef, and your smile will grow even wider. For 15 lunch includes 2 sides, 1 main dish (you can choose your preference), rice, soup, and a dessert.
In the picture is the Garlic Pork Cutlets, Sardine Marinade, Radish Salad, Crab Spring Rolls Youd be glad to choose something from that days menu, wouldnt you? Oh, and by the way, the dessert was a Coffee Jelly. They also specialize in desserts that are not too sweet, but have a more elegant flavor.
Its an amazing restaurant that will have you wanting to throw your chest out and boast to Parisians, "This is real, delicious Japanese food!" Then again, seeing as how the French take pride in being able to seek out delicious places to eat, if more Parisians start filling up the restaurant there may be no place left for us to sit Wanting to keep it a secret, well, that's just the kind of restaurant it is. And they even have boxed lunches you can take out for lunch.
