La Table de Maïna was everything my wife and I could have hoped for and more. We were on an overnight layover through Orly airport and, though we hoped to score a meal of Paris’ finest accord, decided not to stray too far into the heart of the city. Thankfully we discovered this gem just down the street from our hotel in the southern Parisian suburb of Montrouge. All 7 of our prix fixe, sashimi-heavy courses were stunning (there is also a 5-course option as well as a la carte ordering). Two plates in particular, however, stole the show (each are pictured below). The first: a tataki of thinly sliced, lightly charred salmon swimming in a yuzu-miso sauce, might just be the best thing I’ve eaten all year. Its presence on the menu alone is reason enough to return. The second: sushi-style anguilles (European eel) of the highest cook and quality served over a pâté of foie gras, was an explosion of flavor like I’ve rarely experienced before.

In the end, despite the limited time and extreme jet lag, our eyes were opened to a whole new way of approaching the flavors of France, Japan, and even Peru. What an...
Read morewent 2 times, 2 days after opening and 1 week later. the place is a former Cave a vin, so the owner negotiated the right list of wines for the dishes that she will have on the menu. And they are good choices indeed. Meanwhile the menu is enriched and you can.have a Decouvert menu which give you the option to try several things. It is a share menu restaurant. It means that you share with your friends each plate. For me it's a fusion restaurant, each plate has a story and mix of tastes and feelings. They have sparkling sake as well. And the dessert menu, well it's a kids game. I will let you discover it. It's open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday.evenings. I do not remember for the during the day openings, the owner told me but I forget. You can even order for home delivery or for organising a home event. It's good with kids as well, and.most of anything, the owner comes at each table to see if all is ok, and everything is as expected. If you have the time, she...
Read moreFR : Originaire du Pérou, j'ai été conquis par "La Table de Maïna" et sa fusion remarquable des cuisines péruvienne, japonaise (nikkei) et française. Ce restaurant me fait retrouver les arômes de mon pays avec des plats d'une qualité remarquable, rappelant les meilleures expériences gustatives de Lima. Le ceviche est un incontournable, parfaitement équilibré, tout comme le kakiage de Maïna, qui allie innovation et saveurs. Le bœuf maturé est également exceptionnel. Pour accompagner ces délices, un Pisco Sour est vivement recommandé, ajoutant une touche authentiquement péruvienne.
Un an après ma première visite, je suis revenu pour fêter mon anniversaire, et j’ai retrouvé les mêmes saveurs et parfums qui me transportent au Pérou. Le service est toujours aussi chaleureux, et la cuisine, toujours au top. Cette fois, nous avons goûté le tataki de saumon : d’une fraîcheur irréprochable et d’un goût exceptionnel. Une adresse que je continue de recommander sans hésitation.
