Anthony Vaccarello brings LA’s celebrity sushi haunt Sushi Park to Saint Laurent Rive Droite boutique in Paris
In Los Angeles, some of the city’s most exclusive dinners are hidden in plain sight. Case in point: Chef Peter Park’s Sushi Park, an omakase spot with no frills and no patience for trendy spicy tuna rolls. Frequented by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift, the restaurant has long been a discreet haven for the ultra-famous and for one very loyal regular, Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello.
Now, the LA staple has found an unexpectedly polished second home beneath the marble and moody minimalism of Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Paris. The newly renovated boutique on Rue Saint-Honoré, which reopened in February after a year-long revamp, houses the first international outpost of Sushi Park. The restaurant is tucked into the boutique’s lower level–a sleek, sculptural space of dark wood, concrete, and metal where omakase now meets high fashion. For Vaccarello, who hosted a one-night-only pop-up with Sushi Park in 2022, bringing the Japanese haunt to Paris was a full-circle moment and a key part of his larger project of turning Saint Laurent into a lifestyle universe. In the past year alone, the maison has expanded into film (with Saint Laurent Productions debuting three films at Cannes), literature (via the Babylone bookstore-gallery), and now, food with Peter Park’s omakase joining the fold.
The Paris menu holds fast to the LA original’s ultra-disciplined ethos: no teriyaki, no tempura, no gimmicks. Just precision-led plates of seasonal Japanese seafood, served with ritual calm by Park and his team. The interiors, meanwhile, swap the Sunset Boulevard strip mall grit for waxed concrete, sculptural custom furniture, and exclusive ceramic plating by Daeyong Kim.
Saint Laurent’s Rive Droite concept has always been about more than fashion: it’s part gallery, part salon, part collector’s cabinet. With Sushi Park Paris, it now becomes a space where dinner (if you manage to reserve a table!) is as considered as the clothes.
Sushi Park Paris at Saint Laurent Rive Droite is open from Tuesday to Saturday at 8 Rue du 29 Juillet, Paris 75001. Reservations can be made online, by phone (Call 01 40 13 00 32), or by email (contact@sushipark.paris).
