Yoshinori

Chef Yoshinori Morié's cuisine represents a sophisticated dialogue between French gastronomic tradition and Japanese culinary philosophy. His approach emphasizes the inherent qualities of exceptional seasonal ingredients, allowing their natural flavors to shine while applying refined technique and artistic presentation. The result is cooking that feels both rooted in French terroir and elevated by a distinctly Japanese sense of balance and aesthetics. The menu structure follows the French tradition of multi-course tasting menus, with options ranging from a four-course lunch at €68 to the full evening experience at €150. Each menu showcases Chef Morié's ability to source outstanding ingredients and transform them into memorable dishes. His veal tartare, enhanced with the luxurious addition of abalone, demonstrates his skill at combining French and Japanese ingredients harmoniously. The golden-seared scallops with mousseline showcase classic French technique executed with precision, while dishes featuring Basque trout or the signature beef pavé with rich meat jus highlight his commitment to sourcing from France's finest producers. What distinguishes Chef Morié's cooking is his plant-forward sensibility—vegetables receive the same careful attention and creative treatment as proteins. Preparations like beet with banana mousse reveal his willingness to explore unexpected flavor combinations, while maintaining the refined elegance expected at this level of dining. The Utah Beach oysters that often appear on the menu represent his appreciation for France's exceptional seafood, presented with the same attention to detail that characterizes every course. The bread service, featuring exceptional products from Panadero Clandestino bakery, sets the tone for the meal and demonstrates the restaurant's commitment to quality at every level. Desserts continue the creative journey with inventive preparations like meringue with strawberry sorbet or smoked white tuna (showcasing his ability to apply Japanese techniques to unexpected courses). Throughout the meal, the service team provides thoughtful explanations of each dish, helping you understand Chef Morié's vision and the story behind what you're tasting. The carefully selected wine list, with options available by the glass, allows you to enhance each course with appropriate pairings, completing a gastronomic experience that honors both French and Japanese culinary traditions.
