Guests arriving at the Aviatic Hotel regularly ask where they can eat good Japanese food.  Unfortunately, the first thing we have to tell them is where not to eat! 

The art of sushi certainly takes time to learn.
The Japanese say that it takes ten years to become a sushiya (master sushi chef). 

It’s best to avoid those places that smell like kebabs and where you are served sushi straight from the fridge.  Connoisseurs know that the best and most authentic Japanese restaurants in Paris have set up home in rue Sainte Anne, near Place de l’Opéra.  Of course when you arrive at the Aviatic Hotel you don’t necessarily want to travel across Paris for dinner, and why would you seeing as you have one of the capital’s best Japanese restaurants just around the corner from the hotel?

The proof?  The Japanese flock there.  Welcome to Le Toritcho!
Dishes include tempura (deep-fried battered vegetables), sashimi (thinly sliced raw fish) and nigiri-sushi (hand-formed sushi), prepared in front of you by two master sushi chefs who are happy to demonstrate the basics of their art.  It’s delicious, the service is efficient and friendly, and the prices are reasonable.
