About

Aoyama is an authentic Japanese restaurant in Vieux-Lille founded by Florian Rousies, passionate about Japanese culture. Far from conventional sushi, it offers refined Tokyo cuisine based on the « ichiju sansai » concept: a bowl of rice, miso soup, and three dishes chosen from a dozen rotating monthly options. Each plate is prepared in-house with carefully selected fresh ingredients. The establishment transforms into a tea room in the afternoon, serving revisited Japanese pastries. Minimalist décor, traditional noren curtains, and a library dedicated to Japanese culture create a genuine escape to Japan. Exceptional value for money and attentive service make this an unmissable local institution.

  • “Ambiance bois clair, déco minimaliste et service tout en finesse : Izumi, c’est la version japonaise de la haute couture. Ici, chaque plat est une œuvre d’art, les assaisonnements sont millimétrés et les surprises gustatives s’enchaînent sans fausse note.”
