A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to try out a different Japanese restaurant: La Route de la soie. We appreciated the quality of the produce and the freshness of the fish, as well as the fusion of Japanese and more modern cuisine.
CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE CUISINE
Reveals to Western palates unexpected flavors, seasonings and combinations.
At the crossroads of the world, it sets them to music, always retaining the original taste of meat, fish and vegetables, both raw and cooked. Refined in her simplicity, she composes each dish like a modern painting, a composition imagined during a journey around the world. From each stopover, she selects a marinade, a spice, a pairing… that will sublimate these products and turn them into an appetizing art de vivre.

THE HARMONY OF MEN
For this new adventure, Jacques Loc Tran has teamed up with Wang Fei, the feminine note of the place.
It is she who, like a perfect hostess, welcomes, installs, listens and advises, while in the kitchen, chef Kitadokoro ensures respect for the Japanese preparation of the dishes.
In Japan, the art of cutting is an almost martial art. Each fish requires a particular cut, which is applied here with the utmost skill. This Benkay exponent also pays particular attention to the quality and origin of its products, which are delivered fresh and in season every day. The fish, including Scottish salmon, is Label Rouge. The chicken is free-range, the beef certified Wagyu. The
same ingredients as in Tokyo. When you’re on the road, you need to know when to stop.
Rive gauche, rive droite
Jacques Loc Tran takes contemporary Japanese cuisine across the Seine.
With the opening of his new Route de la Soie restaurant at Trocadéro, this epicurean who has put Saint Germain des Près on Japanese time, embarks on a new gourmet journey between the senses and spices.
At the end of the 80s, he opened the capital’s first sushi bar in a fashion boutique dedicated to the designers who were shaking up fashion codes at the time, including Kenzo, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto, and to those who were reinventing couture elegance, such as Giorgio Armani and Valentino.
Jacques Loc Tran is also shaking up taste codes by bringing East and West together on the same plate. He imagined Orient Extrême. An immediate success and a German-Prussian reference for Japanese gastronomy.
After Orient Extrême Bayard and the Black Cod group, here he is at the Trocadéro.
A new adventure, a new gourmet odyssey begins towards a modern Japan, open to the culinary rites of other continents.
