Passage 53

BP take: A member of Relais & Châteaux, Passage 53 is named for the restaurant’s address inside the picturesque Passage des Panoramas. Chef Shinichi Sato has earned two Michelin stars for his exquisite cuisine- which is as beautifully plated as a work of art.

“A tiny room with minimalist décor hidden away behind white curtains: what matters here is the food.” —Relais & Châteaux
