The Experience
From Michelin Guide
‘Classical modern’ is the theme, refined dining the experience, from the courteous service staff, combined gracefully with a cuisine that indulges in every luxury. Opulent foodstuffs such as truffles, wagyu beef and lobster vie discreetly for attention. A classic French base overlaid with Japanese ingredients such as seaweed and mountain vegetables makes Les Saisons a true Franco-Japanese co-production – modern preparations that interweave the seasons of Japan.
