There’s another reason to hit up the YSL Right Bank shop. So yes, you need a trip to Paris. If you were wondering if there’s anything YSL can’t do, the answer is no. Yves Saint Laurent does Sushi now. YSL has taken a stylish leap into the world of cuisine with Sushi Park Paris—a chic dining hotspot nestled inside the Saint Laurent Rive Droite. Here, the elegance of high fashion collides with the mastery of sushi. It’s a gastronomic journey that is as glamorous as it is delicious. And we would expect nothing less of YSL.
YSL’s Culinary Creators
Chef Peter Park, known for his minimalist approach and dedication to seasonal ingredients, curated the omakase menu. His expertise developed with Sushi Park in Los Angeles in 2006. Unlike so many other sushi spots that are stuffy and pretentious, Chef Peter Park is known for his “no frills” culinary approach. At the original Sushi Park location, there’s no menu; diners are to trust the chef. And trust him they should.
It’s no wonder then, that Chef Park’s culinary artistry caught the attention of none other than Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent’s creative director. This led to their initial collaboration during Paris Fashion Week in 2022. And while it’s no surprise that it was a hit, the partnership evolved into the creation of Sushi Park Paris. Anthony Vaccarello sprinkled a dash of haute cuisine into the renovated Right Bank, and voilà – Sushi Park Paris appeared. The restaurant serves up an intimate, meticulously-crafted dining experience that’s basically a runway show for your taste buds.
What’s on the menu?
Is was to be expected, the menu at Sushi Park Paris offers a characteristically curated selection of dishes. The ingredients and dishes are seasonal. There is also no menu available per se. But just to give you an idea, they serve delicacies like the Toro Tartare, which features finely minced fatty tuna adorned with Oscietra caviar and fresh wasabi. Or the Sake Ikura Roll, where delicate slices of salmon are paired with creamy avocado and topped with a generous serving of salmon roe. You can even get your hands on the Truffle Chawanmushi — a savory egg custard infused with truffle essence, and garnished with seasonal mushrooms.
An Elegant Dining Space
Everything in the dining space is designed to make you feel like you’re in good hands (which, you are). The space consists of a mix of dark wood, waxed concrete, and steel — it’s contemporary, but warm. The lighting is subtle — there is just one elegant pendant running along the length of the sushi bar. Ceramicist Professor Daeyong Kim designed the custom ceramics, which are all matte ochre and black. Because of course, the star of the show is the food itself.
Luxury Brands at the Table
Sushi Park Paris exemplifies a growing trend: luxury brands are increasingly venturing into the culinary scene. You’ve heard of Gucci Osteria venturing out into Italian cuisine, Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar offering classic American dining, and even Audemars Piguet’s Café in Singapore uniquely blending horology and gastronomy. Luxury brands are expanding their reach, creating a movement where where fashion, art, and gastronomy converge. And we’re here for it.
