Kinugawa Rive Gauche: the Franco-Japanese rooftop that electrifies the Left Bank
A breath of Japanese chic blows through the 7ᵉ arrondissement. With the opening of Kinugawa Rive Gauche atop the Hôtel Sax, the gastronomic group continues its rise in the capital, combining Japanese elegance with Parisian art de vivre.
A breathtaking view, between Haussmann and the Eiffel Tower
As soon as you arrive, you’ll be struck by the two-storey layout. Downstairs, a restaurant with warm, refined interior architecture, where mirrors and fluted wood create a hushed atmosphere. Upstairs, a perched terrace offering a breathtaking view over the rooftops of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. From summer onwards, this XXL rooftop promises suspended dinners between golden skies and twinkling lights.
A refined dialogue between Japan and France
The cuisine perfectly embodies this meeting of Japanese precision and Parisian spirit. The dishes focus on elegance, precise gestures and subtle flavors. Between melting textures, iodized touches and sharp seasonings, each dish seems to be conceived as a composition, where the central ingredient is sublimated rather than masked. At the table, we don’t just eat: we contemplate, we savor, we travel.
An atmosphere on a par with the great Parisian soirées
At the bar, the creativity continues in the glasses, with twists on the great classics and Japanese inspirations. Service is discreet yet attentive, providing the perfect accompaniment to the experience. For dessert, the tone remains the same: refined, daring, without heaviness. The result is a place where discreet epicureans, international clientele and Parisians in search of an evening apart meet.
A new gastronomic landmark
Kinugawa continues to chart its course, from Megève to Dubai. But here, on Rive Gauche, a different story is being written. More confidential, more quiet, more contemplative. With 180 covers in the dining room and 200 on the terrace, this new setting is already establishing itself as a flagship address, between sophistication and horizon.
