Creative Japanese tapas with strong hits and some service/value inconsistency; book for dinner, expect inventive small plates and premium beef at premium prices.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
116 Pages delivers solid food quality with creative small plates and standout aged beef, but inconsistent execution and variable service pacing prevent a higher grade. The attractive central location and lively atmosphere appeal to wine-curious diners seeking contemporary izakaya fare, though modest portions and peak-time service gaps temper the experience for those seeking seamless execution.
Restaurant Summary
Set just off the Arc de Triomphe, 116 Pages buzzes with a lively bistro energy where Japanese flavors meet Parisian small-plate culture. Diners describe a room that fills quickly, plates that look neat and modern, and staff who can be warm and helpful—though on busy nights the pace can slip. One guest put it simply: "Great flavors and a welcoming vibe, but the rhythm wavered between courses." The kitchen leans contemporary izakaya with French sensibilities—think miso cod, scampi tempura, and a focused aged beef program. It suits curious eaters who enjoy sharing flavorful plates and a sommelier-style nudge toward the right wine. Portions skew modest and prices reflect the neighborhood, so the sweet spot is a mix of two or three plates each, a shared fish or beef feature, and dessert if you still have room. Families will find a few friendly anchors—crispy fries and grilled rice, simple chicken, and mild fish—though many dishes have bold seasonings. There is no explicit kids menu, but the small-plate format helps tailor a meal. For picky eaters, steer toward teriyaki salmon, fries, and ice cream; adventurous teens may love tempura and miso eggplant.
