The Cod House, the Japanese tapas bar - Definitely closed

After having opened the Yoko Bourse recently, the Black Code Group offers us its superb gourmet spot: The Cod House. A spacious and luminous spot where it is good to have a drink and eat plates with Asian accents to share, like an izakaya bar.

Gone is the muffled and dark atmosphere of the late Tigrr, The Cod House reveals a bright, airy, vast but cosy space with its different corners with benches and cushions.

On the left, at the entrance, we discover a beautiful design bar where you can taste fabulous homemade cocktails (syrups and tralala) throughout the afternoon until the evening. Discover cocktails with Japanese flavors with yuzu and matcha on the menu. The Kimm's, a little cousin of the Brit' Pimm's, with an Earl Grey tea soda, or the Nihon Cha Punch and its cachaça infused with macha, lemongrass syrup ...

In the middle of the restaurant, the kitchen opens to us to allow us to keep an eye on the preparation of the dishes.

We go to slump on a bench to order beautiful plates to share. To us the Yellow Tail just seized cleverly raised by ginger, the original burrata and revisited to the soya sauce and to the yuzu (to test absolutely, you will be surprised) and the salad of tempura of shrimp with its spicy sauce, that we adored.

We then continue with tuna onigiri californias and Black Cod californias with miso. Enough to calm down the most greedy among you.

Don't miss the house specialty: The Black Cod, this wild fish prepared with miso, melting at will.

A special treat for the Baos, melting and tasty. For vegetarians, the bao version with vegetables is excellent.

We end with some unusual desserts. The curious will opt for the rice waffle with matcha green tea. Be careful, if you are looking for lightness, this dessert will not be the case. Some people love it and others don't, it's up to you to make up your mind.

Lovers of melting apple will choose the crispy gyozas with vanilla ice cream while the reasonable ones will prefer the good green tea crème brulée.

In short, if you want to have a good time and share beautiful dishes, go and discover The Cod House!
