Cuisine is a stylish Franco-Japanese restaurant in the 9th arrondissement, at 50 Rue Condorcet near South Pigalle. A collaboration between Benoit Simon (formerly of Le Châteaubriand) and chef Takao Inazawa (ex-Le Verre Volé), it works like a refined izakaya — serving gourmet small plates designed for sharing in a warm, retro-styled room.

## What to expect at Cuisine

Inazawa’s cooking fuses French produce and technique with Japanese sensibility, turning out elegant tapas-style dishes and sharing plates alongside a thoughtful wine list. The 1950s-60s décor — mirrors, banquettes, wooden furniture and red walls — gives it a cosy, characterful feel. It is a relaxed but accomplished spot, ideal for grazing through several plates over good wine in a lively, fashionable neighbourhood.
