I would like to use a magnifier, because everything is so small! The food tastes good, but not anywhere worth ¥58,000 (for one person). I left with half empty stomach, the food portion is way too small and variety is not enough.
No, I do not recommend this restaurant.

Exquisite dining experience.  We had lunch here this week, ordering each of the set menus for comparison (Cannes 13,000Y & Monaco 25,000Y). Both were delicious, and unique.  Every course was special and the service was excellent, as you would expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. Of the multiple courses, the highlight was the duck.  This duck was succulent, had a lightly crispy skin and a rich flavorful meat; probably one of the best duck I’ve had. At the end we had the expresso instead of herbal tea with dessert, a good choice as the flavor was very strong and just what you want in a quality expresso.

Overall, depending on what you prefer both menus were delicious but the Cannes would be our choice if we had to choose again, given the large price difference and slight difference in food quality for us.

The Le Grand Menu dinner is an epic meal!

Le Grand Menu consists of several duck dishes and other non- poultry dishes and ends with a table side presentation of flambeed crepes.

This menu was inspired by the famous duck menu at Tour D’Argent in Paris, but with Japanese touches.

The service was truly outstanding and the ambience was very formal (but business dress is fine, some attend in formal dress).

It was a wonderful experience. The staff are superb! The food is excellent. Just one minor issue, we almost missed the restaurant. We thought that the entrance was at the bar but the bar was closed. We almost missed the entrance of the restaurant. It was very dark. Please consider making a sign or assign a staff to welcome guests. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful experience!
