 Kong Restaurant: A fusion of Mondern & Ancient Japan

Kong restaurant bar is on the top two floors of the prestigious Louis Vuitton building – 1 Rue du Pont Neuf. The Kong restaurant is an elevators ride up, above the Kenzo flagship stores. The top floor of Kong has a glass ceiling that looks out over the city, designed by Architect Jean-Jacquey, and the interior is designed by Phillipe Starck. The restaurant calls the design “a collision of modern and ancient Japan”.

Ultra hip, the chairs are the Invisible Louis XIV Armchairs, with eerie asian faces screen printed on the backs, also known as Kong chairs. The walls are covered in plasma screens with faces that wink at passing by customers. The view of the Siene and the city below is breathtaking, and the food by Chef Richard Pommies is delicious. The quirky cartoon design is unique and original. The Japanese products on display are cute and give the place a fun playful touch. The Pokemon cusions and the Hello Kitty toys are very charming. Kong is a must see, but call ahead for reservations as it’s a hot spot! Kong restaurant is a visual and culinary delight. A complete treat for the senses!

    I have been for diner last Friday, the place is very nice. If you book, ask for the top floor or you will get stuck downstairs. The best table is at the end of the coupole.

    Be aware, very noisy.

    Service is Ok, food is good but price is exagerated.

    At the bar, I felt in love with the red neon lightened fridge cupboards. I want one!!!! If anybody knows where I can find it?
