Are you looking for a chic, trendy- yet-intimate restaurant in Paris- with an awesome view of the Eiffel Tower to boot? Well, look no further than the top of Palais de Tokyo, where Nomiya has recently been installed. Replacing the museum’s last installation piece, the one-room hotel Everland, Nomiya is considered a dining experience where preparation and eating is viewed as performance art, rather than just a restaurant. “I don’t care about making a restaurant,” French artist Laurent Grasso, who designed Nomiya along with his architect brother, recently told the New York Times, “Creating this experience, on the roof of the Palais de Tokyo, with interesting architecture and the creativity of a chef – that’s not a restaurant. It’s a work of art,”

Like so many other works of art, the Nomiya experience is also a rarity.  The 24-ton glass structure is the size of a shipping container, and offers just one table, which seats 12 guests at a time.  The restaurant will be in place for just one year, and books a month in advance. Reservations can only be made via the Nomiya project’s website, starting at 10:00AM each morning. Check it out:
