Couture bentos at Taeko in the Marais

In the middle of the ultra hype Enfants Rouges market hides the most trendy and snobby Jap cantina of Paris, where twigs and fashionistas come between 2 rendezvous at the show-rooms of rue Charlot.

Sit at the XXL communal table of Taeko, perfect Japanese cook, and enjoy light and well thought out nibbles ideal for creatures on a diet. Start with her cult and delicious made to the minute Chirachi—a big bowl of rice customized with ultra fresh raw fish.

If you are into light but more consistent eats opt for the bento of the day with rice and lots of little veggie options to enhance an addictive breaded  chicken or potato croquettes with cod that are fab.

Tops: open every day except on Monday and non-stop service from 11h30 am to 6pm.
