Here, there’s no fuss or flashy signs, just the delightful scent of toasted sesame, the sweet buzz of chefs in action, and a feeling of being somewhere else. In a Shibuya izakaya, perhaps. The place is tiny, cozy, and almost hidden. A few tables, a bench, soft lighting, and above all, homemade dishes that bring together appetite and tranquility... a Japanese restaurant like few we know.
A Lunch as Short as It Is Careful
At noon, there’s just one option, designed like a comforting bento: a carefully simmered main dish (vegan tan tan men, creamy curry, crispy breaded pork), warm rice, a delicate soup, and a few homemade pickles. Simple yet so delicious. The tableware is elegant, the flavors bold, and the always-smiling welcome wraps you up in this warm atmosphere.

The recipes change almost daily, and they draw inspiration from both Japan and Taiwan without ever falling into clichés. Here, vegetarian does not mean compromise: everything is generous, flavorful, and satisfying enough to please even the most carnivorous eaters. All prepared right before your eyes.x, in a peaceful atmosphere that makes you want to slow down.

A gem to keep for yourself
Chez Eating is only open for lunch, from Monday to Saturday (sometimes closed on Wednesdays). The cozy setting and steady crowd encourage reservations, especially if you’re more than two. It’s best to come in pairs or solo to fully soak in the intimate atmosphere where whispers are more common than chatter. A littlea bit of Asia placed there, between two galleries and a trendy boutique, that feels good for both the body and the mind. A discreet yet precious address. To be discovered, and perhaps to be kept jealously for oneself.
