This gourmet bolthole offers a taste of happiness. Chef Kadoguchi delivers well-executed and beautifully presented dishes, alternating between Japanese specialties (gyozas) and French recipes (pollack, Provençal sauce) or mixing the two, as he does in his excellent picanha with Asian sauce. Harmonious textures and flavours, spot-on cooking techniques, a fine selection of wines and a perfect welcome – what's not to like?
