Maki Nova - Table reservation

We had high expectation when our friends recommended this Japanese restaurant in the town of Le Puy , near our vacation home. The food was ok for a « french » Japanese, but the service marred the whole experience. When we arrived the waiters were enjoying a drink among themselves....why not it was July 14th. However throughout the meal they were busy throwing corks at each others, or greeting their mates on the opposite side walk, when not picking their nose in between serving tables. When we left they were still enjoying their drinks. In addition the bill was about double what you would expect for your very average french Japanese. We won’t go there again.

My friend and I tried this place out after reading good reviews and now we understand the hype. A small restaurant but perfectly decorated with a great assortment of fresh fish which changes daily. The owner and chef, Alexi, was a spectacular host and was very kind to recommend other places for our road trip. I look forward to coming back to Maki Nova!

We were a family of 5 and we had a great time. The French auvergnat chef is also the waiter/porter/sommelier. Knows Tokyo way more than he knows paris. Japanese sushi, sashimi and Maki with French fish. Bio ingredients and cuisine done to perfection. I absolutely recommend.

Me and my sister had been driving fron Seté that day and wanted to treat us. What a treat. The owner and cook was great. He both cookes and servises. The food was to die for and everything clean and cosy. The wine was also very good. Highly recommend Maki Nova.
