Imayoko
Japanese bistro opened next to chef Julien Lemarié's starred restaurant Ima; its lunch donburi is recommended in the Michelin Bib Gourmand.
'Yoko' means 'beside' in Japanese. The restaurant opened in 2020 right next to the chef's one-star restaurant, Ima. Lunch focuses on seasonal Japanese donburi, such as monkfish donburi and soy-glazed pork belly donburi, served with miso soup. In the evening, the menu shifts to French dishes with Japanese flavors, such as leeks with miso and bonito broth. The weekday lunch set (starter, donburi and dessert) costs about €24, and adding Osaka-style okonomiyaki brings the total to about €30. It offers good value. Open Wednesday to Saturday; reservations are recommended.
