One MICHELIN Star 2023
𝐌𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞’𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰
The three-story restaurant is divided into bars and dining rooms, including a Louis XIII-themed private room. Diners may choose from the four- to seven-course menus, plus one for vegetarians. The dishes range from classic French, such as sole à la meunière, to novel creations with Japanese influences, all underpinned by solid skills. Save room for the cheese cart with 20 choices, or crêpe Suzette flambéed by your tableside.
𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐟
I have realised that my cooking over the years has revelled in absolute freedom: the freedom to explore the world's best ingredients, the freedom to support our local farmers and encourage them to ever greater heights, the freedom to explore fresh and exciting wine pairings with new flavour profiles, and the freedom to incorporate techniques from various cultures and schools, all with one single goal in mind: the pleasure of my guests. For me, it would be disingenuous to circumscribe one's ability and reach for the sake of remaining true to a label, if it does not enhance my guests' experience. For it is my guests who remain the ultimate inspiration for what I do, and who are the main reason why I continue doing it.
