A Japanese bistro on rue Pierre Mauroy, with a downstairs counter and a more intimate upstairs dining space.
Aokamo is the Japanese-bistro counterpart to neighbouring Bleu Canard. Ryo Nakamura and Rémi Aboudiab's address occupies number 25 on rue Pierre Mauroy, with a counter downstairs and a separate dining room upstairs. Le Fooding identifies the restaurant as a contemporary izakaya.
The official presentation describes the downstairs counter as a place to watch the kitchen at work. Upstairs, the layout is intended for a more settled shared meal. The drinks offer includes natural wines, sake and Japanese spirits, giving diners several options beyond a conventional wine pairing.
Ask for the seating that fits your plans when reserving, especially if a high counter would be unsuitable. The official site advertises lunch and dinner every day, including Sunday and Monday, but the booking calendar remains the best check for a specific date. Ask for the current menu and prices when arranging your visit.
Highlights
- Counter and upstairs dining formats
- Sake, Japanese spirits and natural wines
Good to know
- Choose your preferred seating when booking; the counter and upstairs room offer different arrangements.

BRA score not calculated: insufficient verified source coverage.
BRA-1.0 combines verified public ratings: Google 50%, TheFork 30%, Tripadvisor 20%. Ratings are converted to a ten-point scale and weights are renormalised over eligible sources. At least two platforms are required, each with at least 30 reviews and a combined total of 100 reviews. The result is rounded to one decimal place, with halves rounded up.
Review totals are platform counts, not necessarily unique people. Different source coverage limits comparisons between restaurants. This score does not represent a visit by our team or an award. Historical editorial ratings remain separate.
