The Nectar Paris restaurant welcomes the prestigious chef Keiichi Shinohara

A toasty note comes through first. Then a livelier, almost unexpected acidity. The vegetable flavours come to the fore, with a slight bitterness lingering on the palate. Nothing seeks to dominate. Instead, everything seems to find its balance.

At Nectar, the cuisine is now experienced in this way: through successive sensations, sometimes familiar, sometimes harder to pinpoint.

In the heart of the 9th arrondissement, Nectar Paris is opening a new chapter with chef Keiichi Shinohara. Born in Tokyo in 1973, he brings a highly personal vision of contemporary French cuisine, shaped by his Japanese heritage and, above all, by an almost instinctive attention to ingredients.

More than just a change to the menu, his arrival heralds a new culinary identity: precise without being rigid, creative without seeking to show off, capable of creating a dialogue between French technique and hojicha, white sesame, Japanese plum or tamarind when the ingredient calls for it.

A cuisine where you taste before you try to understand.
