Nestled in the heart of Paris’s 8th arrondissement, Mūn offers a captivating dining experience that seamlessly blends Asian mystique with Parisian sophistication. This culinary gem has quickly established itself as a must-visit destination for those seeking an extraordinary gastronomic journey in the City of Lights. In the style of Buddah Bar and Hotel Côstes this is a venue where you come to see and be seen.
AMBIANCE >
Arriving into the massive foyer on the Champs Elysee that backs onto Chanel’s offices you will find a lift that whisks you to the tenth floor. As the lift doors open you are immediately you are wrapped in a sensual and dynamic environment that transports diners from the bustling streets of Paris to an ethereal Asian-inspired sanctuary. The DJ plays tunes that set the backdrop to your dinner and the banquet seating wraps around your group offering a slightly private corner of the plush surrounds.
The restaurant features an outdoor deck with breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, adding a touch of Parisian romance to the exotic ambiance. In summer the outdoor deck and bar are sure to exude a massive party vibe but in winter it is more of sneak out to check the light show from the Eiffel Tower and the views that go from the Arc de Triomphe right across to Montemarche.
CUISINE >
The menu at Mūn is a fusion of Japanese and Parisian cuisines, resulting in innovative and exciting options from grilled yakitori to smart sushi there is plenty of flavour on everything. Gyoza, sashimi all get the fusion treatment and the flavours are smart and playful without being that fancy.
This is a restaurant where you come to be seen (scene) rather than come for the fine dining. But the food is excellent, it is snacky with fresh punchy flavours that perfectly complement the cocktails and bubbles that the beautiful people are enjoying.
SERVICE >
Mūn prides itself on providing excellent service, enhancing the overall dining experience. The staff are charming, attractive, attentive and knowledgeable, they guide the guests through the menu and ensuring a memorable evening. It does appear that everyone working there could also double as a catwalk model but hey this is Paris and this is where the beautiful people come.
CONCLUSION >
For those seeking a dining experience that transcends the ordinary and offers a journey through Asia while in the heart of Paris, Mūn is a fun place to eat drink and party. It successfully marries the elegance of French dining with the exotic allure of Asian cuisine and this is a destination venue.
