The story
La Paix is a French restaurant at B1F, 1-9-4 Nihombashimuromachi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and it holds one Michelin star (2026). The French kitchen draws on produce from growers across Japan and changes with the seasons.
Ippei Matsumoto opened La Paix in 2014, after ten years as head chef at Au Goût du Jour Merveille in Nihonbashi. He aims to pair the traditions of classical French cookery with the lightness of modern cooking. The Gault&Millau guide gave the restaurant 15.5 in 2026.
The dining room is small, and the team works to keep the pace calm and personal. General manager Tomohito Tanaka has led the front of house since the opening. Lunch and dinner are chef's choice courses, with some surprises and playful presentation. Private room bookings are taken by phone.
