Le Kong, a stopover between Paris and Tokyo
Situated on the two last floors of the Kenzo head office, in front of the Pont Neuf, the Kong is an ultramodern restaurant with Parisian and Tokyo influences, entirely designed by Philippe Starck. From the fluorescent stairs, the special tables and seats to the Orchids field, the Kong offers an original and audacious concept. The Gallery terrace, conceived like a hotel bar, is an opened space serving as a gallery, terrace and smoking room. For the cooking, taste the “haute cuisine” of Fumiko Kono. Admire one of the best views of Paris around a “Satay from the Terrasse Gallery”, comfortably installed on a Louis XV armchair. An unavoidable place in Paris.
A little extra : The music programming is chosen by Béatrice Ardisson.
Opened everyday from 12am until 2am.
