L'Initial

• ★★★★★

  Possibly the greatest Culinary Deal in the world. Under 100 euros menu. The small but gorgeous restaurant is super comfortable with chairs you could sleep in. You are welcomed by one of only two servers who have the true Aloha Spirit ( we are from Hawaii and we are Wine Consultants and former Wine Educators). Their very small wine list is incredible. Where can you find any white Burgundy by Claude Ramonet for under $200. What we always get is way below. This is not our first time at this restaurant. We always make at least one or two reservations. It is the most relaxing restaurant we’ve ever

  Restaurant Initial – Paris An outstanding restaurant where the use of fish is particularly impressive, and every dish exceeded expectations. The restaurant is led by a renowned Japanese chef and is even said to be visited by the famous chocolatier Cédric Grolet. I first became aware of the restaurant because Drunker in Nishi-Azabu—one of my personal favorites—is run by a chef who trained here. That connection made me especially curious to visit. The result was a truly excellent experience. At the time, I was not yet very knowledgeable about wine, but judging from what I see now on their Instag

  We had a wonderful time at L'Initial. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The server was kind and helpful and contributed to the good evening. It was calm and quiet which made for a nice evening. It was a far price for a fine dining, 6-course tasting menu-- especially compared to many other places in Paris. For the food, there was not a single course that I did not enjoy immensely, and each course is something I would order again. I loved how the chef was able to take traditional French ingredients (duck, oysters, scallops, smoked salmon, etc) and turn them into unique, modern, and flavorful

  Great service and food quality. This is my first Michelin restaurant. I thought 7 courses dinner will be higher quality than normal restaurant. There is a unique menu. So it is easier for the chef to prepare. The portion of each course are small (even the main dish). There is a good attention on dishware and plates. For 65€ a menu, I was expecting the bar to be higher than an usual restaurant. Maybe I was expecting too much.

  Our family all love L'Initial and we make sure to go there whenever we are in Paris. The food and service are consistently excellent and so is the value. The tables are wellspaced too, so our group of 5 could hear each other clearly.
