Reviews / Ratings for Iru Izakaya - Quartier des Spectacles
An exemplary choice for an intimate evening, this restaurant distinguishes itself immediately through its striking interior—an artfully curated space that ranks among the most beautifully designed dining rooms I have encountered in recent years. The ambiance alone sets a compelling stage for the culinary experience that follows. During my visit, I opted for the discovery menu for two, a thoughtfully composed tasting progression featuring six dishes that showcase a broad spectrum of the kitchen’s flavors and techniques. The selection included vegetable gyoza, torikawa, karifurawa with gochujang, yakiton, gindara misozuke, and kamo chahan. Each plate arrived with a distinct identity, yet together formed a cohesive and satisfying narrative. Notably, the vegetable gyoza stood out for its balance and delicacy, while the yakiton—succulent pork belly skewers accented with wasabi mustard and pickled daikon—proved particularly memorable for its depth and precision. Service, however, did not consistently match the high standard set by the cuisine and setting. Attention from staff was at times difficult to secure, with minimal water service and a missed opportunity to inquire about spice tolerance—an important consideration given the nature of the tasting menu. These are, fortunately, refinements rather than fundamental flaws. In sum, despite some lapses in attentiveness, the overall experience remains highly enjoyable, driven by exceptional food and a captivating atmosphere.

We had a fantastic experience! Camila (hopefully I’m spelling her name correctly) did an excellent job explaining the menu and recommending some great dishes. Her suggestions were spot on and made the experience even better. I would also like to acknowledge the chef, who clearly puts a lot of care into maintaining the amazing quality of the food. The chef is the mastermind behind the dishes, and credit definitely goes where it’s due. Overall, great service and outstanding food. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Ask for Laurence if you get the chance. Amazing service from her especially the small details for my birthday. The food was delicious and sake was well explained. Just the atmosphere is worth it.
Took 35 min to get my food was seems that being the only black people in there we weren’t really a priority with the manager and all the waiters passing us and standing directly infront of us only after i was upset with the waiter they changed my waiter hoping i would tip them i didn’t food was ok definitely wont be going back
