About
Pages was opened in 2014 by Ryuji Teshima, a Japanese chef who trained with legendary Parisian butcher Hugo Desnoyer and built a French culinary vocabulary over years in some of the city's finest kitchens. Operating in a whitewashed brick dining room whose bare walls evoke the blank pages of a book, Teshima serves his 'surprise' menus — 6 or 8 courses — that pivot on a Japanese sense of restraint and flavour balance applied to top-tier French ingredients: shellfish from Normandy and Brittany, poultry from the Perche, aged wagyu finished over binchotan. Executive Chef Kenichi Handa, also Japanese, leads the brigade alongside Teshima. Pages holds 1 Michelin star and is listed in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. The open kitchen occupies nearly a third of the small dining room, making the culinary process central to the experience.
