Onyx

An evening at this restaurant promises unexpected discoveries, surprising pairings and intoxicating, iodine-rich flavors. The Franco-Japanese duo in the kitchen subtly combines raw and cooked fish, as seen in the amberjack sashimi with black quinoa, ponzu sauce and bergamot. The same finesse is applied to an Angus beef fillet lightly crusted with bitter cocoa. While surprises await on the plate, the décor creates a soothing, cocoon-like atmosphere. Green and brown banquettes, soft lighting highlighting the moldings, onyx tables and impeccable service set the tone—far removed from the frenzy found elsewhere. A restaurant you’ll want to return to each time you spot a new dish on the menu, such as sweetbreads with a Spritz-style condiment.
