A Japanese chef revisits French traditional dishes and brings out flavors and combinations that reflect both great culinary cultures, showing craftsmanship and respect for quality ingredients. For starters I had the chef's version of a lyonnaise salad with arugula, quail eggs, Parmesan and an amazing bacon. But the menu depends on what the chef finds in the market, and the care he takes in selecting the ingredients comes through in every dish. So each time, a different choice will be offered, counting on great quality in the dishes and in the wine list, which also changes according to what the Chef finds. We tried a Pinot Gris from Alsace, with the exact combination of wood, bee wax, and smoked aromas. The selection of cheeses was delicious, with a very good glass of côte rotie. Not fancy at all. Big windows, small place, with an entrance that can even make you wonder if the restaurant is open. The lady in charge of service might appear less than friendly but knows what she's talking about. Reading the chef's self description on the restaurant's web page, gives the exact idea of the place: rebel, iconoclast, Japanese technique and know-how serving French culinary tradition. This place makes me regret not living in Lyon: no nonsense, honest cuisine.
