Aux 2 Saveurs is an intimate French-Japanese bistro in the 12th arrondissement, at 6 Rue Emile Gilbert near the Gare de Lyon. Chef Shin Maeda brings together French bistronomic cooking and a delicate Japanese touch, serving thoughtful, well-priced set menus that blend the two culinary traditions.

## What to expect at Aux 2 Saveurs

The “two flavours” of the name are French and Japanese, and Maeda’s two- or three-course menus weave them together with precision and balance — refined cooking that feels both familiar and quietly original. The room is small and welcoming, the cooking a clear step above the everyday neighbourhood bistro. Handily placed near the Gare de Lyon, it is a lovely choice for a calm, accomplished meal before a train or a relaxed dinner.
