La Table d'Akihiro — Restaurant in Paris

I ordered a bottle of Meursault for my table and we didn’t finish the bottle yet. The table next to us ordered Sancerre. At some point the lady server poured Meursault to the next table. Me and my friend immediately realized that is not the bottle the next table ordered. We are serious wine drinker so we know the difference between the bottles and the producers only by seeing the color or label of the bottles. But we didn’t tell at that moment, because it could be the second bottle of wine that the table next to us ordered. (And by the way this place is so tiny that the tables next to each are so close enough to see what they are having). But when I asked the woman if I can have rest of my wine, she said the bottle is finished. Me and my friend asked if she poured our bottle to the next table by mistake, but she said she only gave them Sancerre. But why was our wine gone that we didn’t even finish? And why did we see her giving Meursault to the next table? We kept asking her and wished if there was a recording camera. None of the staffs apologized or admitted their mistake. They kept saying they poured correct wine. Never heard a single apology. We just gave free wine to the next table and lost ourselves. My friend brought me here after coming this place for 3 consecutive years but both she and I disappointed very much. Very bad...

What an experience. Know the chef from his previous restaurant. I believe he is a real master of seafood. The feast started with a tuna wrapped with a thin phyllo dough and served with tomato sauce. Then we moved to the second course, lobster tail, cream bisque and "beurre noisette" brown butter. What a masterpiece. Super delicious, balanced and layered. Simply amazing. The third course was pan fried (and then might be roasted) hake fish, served with carrot confit and something like a sabayon sauce. Again delicious. Last course was a piece of turbot, served with white asparagus. Very well seasoned and cooked. The dessert was a dacquoise served with caramelised (flambe) pineapple. Such a delicious and well balanced dish. My daughter was with us and he prepared her dessert without using alcohol. What an attention to detail. Quite a small place only 14 seats are available. Will definitely visit again, highly recommended. Tasting menu only. Must...

The perfect rendezvous after a shop at le Bon Marche. Escape the crowds and find your way to this hidden gem on Rue Vaneau.

I went here for a Friday lunch and was transported by the flavors of the plat du jour: inventive, complex, and flawlessly executed. I had a hard time putting down my fork. Fish is so often mistreated and just plain misunderstood, but Chef Akihiro approaches it with sensitivity, skill, and imagination. The value is quite good relative to the quality of the ingredients and the artistry of the chef.

The service was also exceptional; both Chef Akihiro and the maitre d' were warm and accommodating. I can't wait to return for the prix fixe menu for dinner. A...
