AT (A.T) is a creative-cuisine restaurant located at 4bis rue du Cardinal-Lemoine in Paris's 5th arrondissement^[1].

Overview

The restaurant presents a discreet, sign-free facade; its newly renovated interior features Danish-inspired wooden furniture evoking a Nordic atmosphere, while the tableware is created through collaborations between the chef and various ceramists, designers and artists. The Franco-Japanese chef Atsushi Tanaka draws on many European culinary techniques — including molecular cuisine, Nordic cuisine and French classicism — and simply answers "impossible" when asked to categorise his cooking. The restaurant offers a single taste menu that adapts to the seasons: the concept of each dish is stable while the ingredients fluctuate with what nature offers, composed with the precision of a haiku^[1].
