Tucked into a quiet street in the Opéra district, Paris's so-called Japanese quarter, Takara has served authentic Japanese cuisine since 1958.

What people say

"Loved dining here. Felt like a pocket of Japan in Paris. Quality, taste, and service all 10/10. Loved the nigiri mix, the miso cod was so delicate, and the negi toro maki with ciboulette . Will definitely come back & so happy to discover they offer take out."
