Oh, how I loved dining at Mokonuts in Paris! The unusual name caught my eye when I first started my restaurant research. But it was the reviews and feedback that cemented it as a “must do” for me. We managed to get a resy at this tiny (22 seats), lunch-only, Mon-Fri only, Mom and Pop shop. And it lived up to the accolades. Super-vibrant Moko Hirayama greeted and seated us. She’s an ex-NYC lawyer and amateur baker turned professional baker, plus front of house wizard. Back in the miniscule open kitchen we saw her husband, Omar Koreitem, furiously finishing prep and start to cook at 12 noon sharp, all with just one other staffer. By the way, this Japanese – Lebanese couple just released a fabulous, beautiful cookbook (Mokonuts, Phaidon Press)… and it tells the story better than I can here. Suffice to say – highest recommendation – order it today! On our visit in November, my wife and I ordered almost the entire lunch menu, small by design, but absolutely terrific from start to finish. Check out some of the photos… *Organic Chicken, Pomme Ratte, Bruxelle Sprouts, Jus *Slow-Cooked Salmon, Salsify, Endives *Hamachi Crudo, Sumac, Lemon *Labné, Puntarelle *Tangy Lemon Tart, Pomegranate, Coconut Cream, Quince, Tapioca, Pomelo *Various exterior, inside, prep, dining room shots, and more. Mokonuts is one of those special places you don’t come across very often. If you’re headed to Paris, please start working on securing a resy ASAP. If you’re not travelling, get the cookbook and enjoy at home. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
I booked a private dinner at Mokonuts last week. There were 16 of us. Booking the night was quite simple and very hassle free (which got me worried at first). But they are very quick to respond to emails. They served a simple yet delicious 5-course meal and even accommodated the one vegetarian in our party. They recommended two bottles of wine to be paired with the food. This took the stress off of finding a good bottle. Having the whole space to ourselves was the big seller. Very happy to have dined at Mokonuts.
Lived up to the hype. Really delicious food. And lovely service from this small restaurant in Paris. Recommend.
Lovely little spot with fresh, tasty food and super friendly staff. Make sure to book ahead! The only minor downside is that it can feel a bit smoky inside.
The food was absolutley delicious! The head pastry chef who took our orders was very friendly. We also saw her dad who was in the seat next to us! We will be coming back when we can.
