Le Masha: a chic, trendy new restaurant in the 16th arrondissement

At 85 avenue Kléber, Le Masha is one of those addresses that's so hard to pigeonhole because it offers so many different atmospheres.
Designed and decorated by Antonin Cornet and Stéfanie Renoma, the place offers different atmospheres for every moment of the day.

In front, a lovely terrace for a drink, lunch or a sweet break.
Once through the door, you'll find yourself in a chic atmosphere. Take a seat and let yourself be tempted by one of the barman's cocktails, which you sip to background music that gets you in the mood.
If you feel like eating a little more quietly, take the stairs and you'll find yourself in a beautiful room, made up of various small lounges overlooking a Japanese garden of maples and horsetails.
You can't help but be impressed by the fashionable, designer decor!
It's all the brainchild of talented stylist and photographer Stéfanie Renoma.
Glamorous, girly colors and the artist's glossy photos create a chic, sensual atmosphere.
The fresco by Fransack, a figure of Chinese street art, completes the originality of the place.

In the kitchen, Chef Takahiro Matsumoto offers a menu halfway between France and Japan.
He was trained by chef Eric Fréchon and more recently by Pierre Gagnaire.
He likes to work with local produce, adding his own Japanese touch.
Alongside him, sushiman Makoto offers sushi and sashimi prepared according to the rules of the art.
