Stylish fine-dining restaurant by renowned chef Sota Atsumi with tasting menus & an open kitchen.

Had an excellent lunch at Maison Sota. I’d been wanting to visit for a long time, and it completely lived up to the hype. Chef Sota Atsumi cooks over an open fire on a grill he built himself, and the flavours are precise, elegant and never overwhelmed by smoke.
I sat at the counter overlooking the kitchen and it’s a great spot, especially if you’re dining solo. The team works with real focus and harmony, and it’s fascinating to watch. The wine pairing was varied and very well chosen.
The space itself is beautiful with warm textures, clean lines and the glow of the open grill giving the whole room a great atmosphere.
A brilliant meal. I’m already thinking about when I can return.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve enjoyed. We chose the €85 lunch set with the €65 wine pairing, and it was worth every cent. Each dish demonstrated impressive complexity in flavor, texture, and presentation. If I had one minor critique, it would be that some sauces shared a similar flavor profile. Still, I enjoyed the meal from start to finish.

I visited first time in Jan 2020. When i ate a lunch. Now, in Dec 20205 returned for a dinner. Both times just excellent! As I remember, both times duck leg was served. It only got better. All other acts were just equally fantastic. No ups and downs, just up. Very happy to know Maison Sota is appreciated by many.

One of the best fine dining experiences I’ve had, and at a very reasonable price. I went for the Sunday lunch service, which I highly recommend. If you’re dining alone, as I was, try to sit at the counter — it’s really entertaining to watch the chefs dance around the open kitchen. The wine pairings were unusual (in a good way). And the food itself was inventive and refined.

An amazing place by chef Sota Atsumi with a well executed degustation menu. This is an awesome place and offers a very unique experience in Paris.
A very good wine list with a focus
on natural wines.

An Unforgettable Lunch at Maison
This is probably the best lunch I’ve had in years. Maison is a warm and welcoming, family-friendly restaurant with an inviting atmosphere. The menu lists seven courses, but to us, it felt more like eleven with each dish thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor.
Every course was outstanding. The warm, freshly baked bread with delicious butter set the tone for an exceptional meal. The rice risotto was easily the best I’ve ever had. Even the salad, which I don’t usually care for, surprised me—the dressing was so flavorful, and it was served on a warm plate.
The wood-fire roasted pigeon was unforgettable—the meat was incredibly tender with a rich, smoky flavor. No words can truly capture how good it was.
Before dessert, we had a pre-dessert of thinly sliced kiwi carpaccio, which was unexpectedly refreshing and full of flavor. The actual dessert was just as impressive.
One thing we really appreciated was that Maison serves more vegetables than any other restaurants we’ve dined at in France.
If I return to Paris, this will be the first restaurant I revisit. Highly recommended!

At Maison, every detail—from the warm welcome to the sincere farewell—ensured a truly memorable dining experience. The service was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely charming.
The lunch menu was a spectacular 5-course journey featuring creatively crafted dishes of world-class quality that delighted the palate. Each course was a masterpiece, setting a new standard for culinary excellence, while the carefully arranged wine selection perfectly complemented the exceptional food.
Moreover, the ambiance struck a perfect balance for Parisian tastes: spacious dining areas with elegantly set tables and exceptionally comfortable chairs, all combined to create a harmonious and refined setting.
In short, this remarkable culinary and aesthetic experience rates a solid 10/10—we will definitely be back!

We visited Maison for the second time, and it was just as impressive as our first. Chef Sota was in the kitchen, and his passion and precision were evident in every dish. The service was exceptional—attentive without being intrusive, making the entire experience seamless. We sat at the chef’s table, right in front of the kitchen (or bar table, whichever you prefer), which was like watching a culinary movie. It was fascinating to witness the entire lunch service unfold, seeing all the behind-the-scenes action and the teamwork that goes into crafting each dish. The atmosphere was intimate and dynamic, and the food was, as always, top-notch. We can’t wait to return for another unforgettable experience!

We tried a discovery menu, with several small dishes that were being served one by one. This was extremely good, I enjoyed the meal very much. We tried a champagne, a red white wine and a red wine, all of the three were heavenly good, the red wine being from Japan. The waiters and the waitresses were very nice, polite and proactive. I noted down this restaurant to bring my family and my wife for the next time we want to celebrate something.
