Description

This restaurant, which is home to Japanese chef Yasuo Nanaumi, who trained in star establishments, sports a ground-floor space with just a counter and a more upmarket, romantic dining room upstairs. At lunch and dinner, the chef crafts a surprise omakase (which literally means “I leave it up to you”) menu, reflecting his Japanese culture and his passion for French gastronomy, depicted by dishes such as foie gras with teriyaki sauce or sole goujonnettes with dashi. The entire team bends over backwards to ensure the wellbeing of their diners.
