Benkay Teppan-Yaki, Japanese restaurant in 16th district, Paris, France.
Benkay is a Japanese restaurant located on the fourth floor of the Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, offering views of the Eiffel Tower. The dining space features both traditional seating areas and a Teppanyaki counter where meals are cooked in front of guests.
The restaurant introduced traditional Washoku cuisine to Paris, becoming an important addition to the city's international dining landscape. Its establishment within the Novotel reflected the growing presence of Japanese gastronomy in France.
The restaurant features two distinct dining styles: traditional table service with Washoku cuisine and interactive Teppanyaki cooking, where chefs prepare meals at a central grill in front of diners.
The restaurant is located on the fourth floor with seating offering views, so arriving early or making a reservation is advisable. The Teppanyaki seating is limited and advance booking is recommended to secure a spot.
The restaurant uses seasonal French ingredients while maintaining traditional Japanese cooking techniques. This approach creates a culinary dialogue between two gastronomic traditions that visitors can taste with each dish.
