Nomiya, a Japanese word for ‘little bars,’ is a chic new restaurant designed by the French artist Laurent Grasso and his brother that is located on the roof of one of the coolest landmarks in Paris—Palais de Tokyo.

Nomiya looks like a rectangular glass box as big as a shipping container, holding a dozen guests who want to spice up their lunch/dinner with excellent views of Eiffel Tower.

One of the interesting experiences is about the reservation as there is only one table available. So if you book only two seats, you will have to eat with another 10 strangers, and the “strange encounter” is actually part of the plan.

On the food side, guests won’t get disappointed with Gilles Stassart, the chef who gained himself the art-meets-cuisine skills at the Transversal restaurant in the Mac/Val contemporary art museum in Val-de-Marne.

“I don’t care about making a restaurant. Creating this experience, on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo, with interesting architecture and the creativity of a chef – that’s not a restaurant. It’s a work of art. (themoment.blogs.nytimes)

Part of me is sad when new architecture clashes with the classic structures of Paris, but Nomiya is an exceptional example of how new innovations can enhance the appreciation of the old. I love it!

Reminds me of Musee du Louvre (the modern glass contrasting the beautiful old structure)...
