Hakuba

Hakuba sits inside the Cheval Blanc hotel at La Samaritaine, on Quai du Louvre. The restaurant pairs kaiseki technique with Edomae sushi, built around chefs Arnaud Donckele and Takuya Watanabe, with pastry work from Maxime Frédéric. It holds two Michelin stars.

The single tasting menu, called Yume, runs 420€ per person. Optional supplements include a sea urchin temaki (+30€) and truffle (+95€). Dishes move from broths and dashis through courses built on pageot, cuttlefish and bluefin tuna, sourced from French Atlantic coasts and combined with Japanese technique. Sake and tea service accompanies the meal.

Service is dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday, seated between 18:30 and 21:30. The restaurant is closed Monday and Sunday. Arrivals after the reserved time are not accepted, so timing matters more here than at a typical dinner reservation.

Booking is not open to walk-in requests; access runs through hotel concierge channels or by introduction, consistent with its placement inside a luxury hotel property. For direct contact, the restaurant can be reached at 01 79 35 51 20, or through the official Cheval Blanc Paris website. Given the kitchen's reliance on raw and cooked seafood, soy and gluten, anyone with related dietary restrictions should confirm options when booking.
