Isami
Paris
Often rated the best sushi restaurant in Paris, Isami also ranks first among the city’s top 50 Japanese restaurants in a guide to Japanese food in France published by Cuisine Japonaise Authentique, a private organization. Expect to find plenty of Japanese tourists among the diners, and not just because of the delectable dishes. Isami was also a favorite of Keiko Kishi, a renowned Japanese actress who lived in Paris for years.

MUSSUBÏ
A handsome Zen-style setting — the walls are covered in aromatic red-cedar shakes and milk-glass lamps cast soft light — and superb omusubi (garnished Japanese rice balls) have made this just-opened lunch-only restaurant a hit.
