In the LVMH owned building, the top two floors of the Kenzo flagship houses restaurant Kong. Architect Jean-Jacques Ory's glass skylight replaces the traditional metal roof and "can't escape him" Philippe Starck's designs are what the restaurant calls, "a collision of modern and ancient Japan". Besides being tragically hip, the chicken dish in yoghurt and wasabi sauce is a steal considering you'd pay twice for the view alone. And the house "must" is the wine which for some reason is one third the price of the cocktails. After a few too many glasses, the chairs with female faces imprinted on them and the lime green fluorescent stairway become even more interesting.
