The Michelin Guide's Opinion
In the heart of Fontainebleau, this smart, low-key restaurant is the HQ of a Japanese chef who orchestrates a new take on pure-bred Gallic gastronomy whilst scrupulously respecting the seasons. Kunihisa Goto is a fan of French cuisine, wines and iconic produce such as foie gras and snails. After training with the best, he reinvents the classics with panache, incorporating a host of Japanese ingredients: daikon, lotus roots, nori, shiso leaves, Wagyu beef… His version of the slow-cooked egg has become a must. Each dish is a masterclass of plating, balanced flavours and gourmet indulgence. Attentive, courteous service.
