Restaurant OGATA | Sabo

Most overpriced meal I’ve ever had. And that’s including meals in Vegas & JFK. We had an average 3 course meal for 120€ with a OK bottle of Japanese wine (one of the least expensive) for 80€. We finished at 420€ for 2. The building is stunning. But… the meal prices are definitely paying for their rent & their 3 year long remodeling.

No need to visit Japan. Here you enjoy Japanese cuisine at its best, elevated by beautiful French techniques that you can only get in Paris. 10 out 5 stars

From service to the interior design to the presentation and flavours of the dishes, everything Ogata has to offer is near perfection. Their lunch menu is a must try. The best part was that we were able to eat at the counter, witnessing where the magic happens. The food paired with the wine/sake list is what we tried and it was delicious and delicately balanced - almost like an art piece being served right in front of your eyes. It was a delight to spend a moment at this restaurant and to later visit their cafe/store. A fantastic experience and a must do if you’re ever in Paris!

tl;dr Tea room was a great experience. I recommend this if you are interested in Japanese culture. We came without a reservation (for some reason, when I tried to reserve, there were only two options - tea with one dessert of full menu), we took a 50€ menu each, got sparkling tea, two kinds of classical teas and a plate of wonderful desserts. Everybody was very friendly and eager to talk about the tea and desserts served. The ambience and the silent atmosphere of the room also needs to be acknowledged.

Amazing set up! If you are looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant OGATA is a must go, the exhibition was interesting, loved the clean and contemporary design of the place, and the Tea ceremony with the Master was just outstanding! 😍 the over all experience was delicious, cultivating, fun and educational 😉 cause that is not just a restaurant , it is an experience 😊

Insane experience for a higher end price. It is stunning place and worth visiting however the pricing point is sky high. Especially if you don’t pay attention to drinks suggested by stuff 😉

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in all Paris hands down. The experience of eating here was delightful. The food was incredible and the staff made me feel like I was at home. I truly felt happy to be there eating incredible Japanese food surrounded by an outstanding decoration and kind people. We will definitely come back many times!!

One of the most MEMORABLE 🤩 meals of a lifetime!!!! And I lived in Japan for seven years!!! The whole concept from top to bottom is nothing short of a design, shopping, service, and culinary triumph! But…let’s talk food! You know it’s a phenomenal experience if just one dish lingers with you for days. That was the dessert here - the coconut matcha dessert was one I’ll come back to for over and over again. The service, as one would expect, is very Japanese, even from the French!
