On the other side of the River Têt, in a residential neighbourhood at a slight remove from the city centre, this restaurant puts its best foot forward with understated decor in a Japanese or Scandinavian style. Self-taught sommelier Kotaro Ike's discerning wine list has been curated to accompany the single multi-course set menu. Chef Maiko Ike (his wife), who trained in Kyoto before moving to L'Axel in Fontainebleau, crafts a clear and subtle menu: salt-marinated and flame-seared yellowtail, steamed sea bream with yuzu, and French toast with olive oil and citrus fruits. In this balanced cuisine, vegetables, seafood and seasoning come together in perfect harmony.
