L’Osier *, Tokyo, May/2025

This was my first trip to Tokyo and it really wasn’t easy to decide which french restaurant to go to but I’m so glad I chose L’Osier. The service was impeccable, specially the very kind and knowlegeable sommelier, the dishes were very rich both in technique and flavours and I love both the cheese and sweets trolleys. Chef came to say hi at a certain point and I decided to test my french a little bit (since I don’t speak japanese and english is also not my first language) and they were kind enough to present me a french menu for the next course, just one of those things that remind you that you’re eating at a very solid 3-starred Michelin restaurant.

I went for the regular Dégustacion menu (39,000 yen at dinner) and highlight for me was the duck with duck liver paste and cherry sauce, such a beautiful array of flavours, but the lobster was also delicious. I also chose the champagne & burgundy wine pairing for 100,000 yen and had some of the best wines in my trip. Definately would go back!
