A place that feels like you have escaped the city. A beautiful private setting overlooking the garden with a cozy, intimate feel. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Food is best described as harnessing the simplicity of ingredients, not overwhelming them but letting them shine.
Really good experience! We asked for the vegan menu. It was our first visit to a Michelin restaurant and we really enjoyed it. Staff is so warm, even when not all of them speak English. What we liked the most is that it is “so Japanese”: it has tatami and we sit on the floor . Exactly what we were looking for. If you want really large dishes or food based in animal protein, this is not your place. It is a kaiseki restaurant, please note that to know what to expect. Dishes don’t have meat and the portions are not that big (because you will have like 15 courses! Would recommend!
The food didn’t compute. Weirdest tasting dishes I have ever eaten, sorry to say this but most them made us feel like throwing up. Ended up returning most of the dishes. Desert at the end was Strawberry in a sugary gel! That was the only edible item for us. The most expensive strawberry we have ever eaten. Service was top notch and the ambiance great.
Far far away from what we would have expected from a Michelin star restaurant. Location is great, service is alright kind and polite but no explanation about the dishes, restaurant or whatsoever and very poor English but food is so disappointing. We’d describe it as basic and bland, not even remotely fancy, tasty or intriguing, both for presentation and taste. Lots of soups and broths, very basic dishes, pre dessert was literally a slice of watermelon with a spoon ! and dessert a water sweet bean soup another one . Definitely didn’t match expectations nor price. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
Wonderful experience. Traditional (vegetarian) Japanese cuisine and excellent service. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
