Hokkaido sur Paris

21/05/2026: A former private mansion taken over by a French family with a passion for art, who had the rather brilliant idea of ​​naming it “Lancaster” (I was convinced it was an English hotel 😄). The place is elegant, refined, and welcoming… but what truly makes the difference here is the people. ⭐ Eric, the head waiter, is probably one of the best people I've ever seen in a restaurant. Highly cultured, passionate about history, passionate about his work, and above all, able to adapt to each table with intelligence and ease. I told him that this kind of excellence is becoming rare, and he replied, “It's the ABCs of the profession”… which is precisely what many people forget these days. 🍷 Franchiska, a delightful and very knowledgeable sommelier. The first time, she pulled off a remarkable feat: making me enjoy a white wine when I used to say I almost exclusively drank Chablis 😄 She introduced me to: * Montlouis 2021 from the Loire Valley * Famille Michon – Les Hauts Chemins Both excellent. And on my second visit, when I wanted to order the same wine again, she had me try something else… and it was another success 👏 👨‍🍳 Farid, a very talented chef. I'll be honest: what impressed me the most… was the rice 🍚😅 My wife ordered her fish with rice, and after tasting this simple side dish, I asked to meet the chef because it was so delicious. I even told him he could come work for me just to make rice 😂 🍰 Tom, a very friendly pastry chef as well. The first time, they were out of the soufflé. Eric strongly recommended the very "simple" rice pudding... which was absolutely divine. This time, I finally got to try the soufflé 👌 Regarding the dishes: * Amazing vegetable tempura (it would make anyone love vegetables) * Very good fish and chips * Excellent octopus starter * And the rest of the meal was a delight from start to finish But honestly, the Lancaster's greatest strength remains the duo Franchiska and Eric. They are a cornerstone of the restaurant experience. Well done to the whole team. You've earned your 5 stars... and above all, a loyal and valued customer 😊 As usual, I'm adding photos of the place, the dishes, and the wines.

20/04/2026: A wonderful discovery. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and the service is professional. As for the food: they showcase fresh produce and seasonal vegetables. A particular highlight is the delicate aroma that pleasantly perfumes each room. I highly recommend this restaurant, whether you're just passing through or a Parisian.
