When Paris Meets Tokyo at Kong-Le Bar

1, rue du Pont Neuf,
75001 Paris
Tél. 01 40 390 900
Métro : Pont Neuf (line 7) and Chatelet (lines 1, 4, 11 & 14)

Kong is a restaurant-bar located on the last two floors of the prestigious LVMH (Louis Vuitton) building above Kenzo store in Paris. As seen featured in Sex and the City, it is designed by Architect Jean-Jacguey and interior by a French product designer, Philippe Starck.
With its glass domed ceiling roof top and surrounding glass walls, you can get quite a magnificent view of the city below and the Seine.

Kong - Paris

Menu: A Japanese and French fusion cuisine by Fumico Kono

My recommendation: Cocktail and soft-shell crab

Price: Slightly on the high side

Reservation:
Be sure to book a table on the second floor and if you want to avoid disappointment, try to reconfirm a day before. Though they had confirmed a table for us upstairs on the second floor, we were given a table at their club floor where the bar and music is, instead. Don't get me wrong, I love music but when it starts to get louder my palate was confused and it became quite hard to hold a conversation. I suggest you start dinner at 8 p.m if you are at the club floor and you probably will finish in time to listen to some really great music. I was told that Kong is one of the 'in' places for people in the fashion industry and fashionista especially during Paris Fashion week.
