介绍:A tiny place tucked in a distant corner of the district with an odd Japanese-French cuisine concept?! Sign me up!

A restaurant that sits 22 people at most and feels more like an inside of someone's house, blue-and-white color scheme to go along with the French theme, open kitchen with the entire kitchen crew and a short, clean, easy to read menu - I am in heaven.

Sitting at the kitchen counter I had a chance to see how myriad ingredients, emerging from plastic containers made its way onto your plate, complimenting clean cuts of fish, perfectly seared scallops, steaks with some char. It was exciting to see how much work was put into each and every dish - the fact that the place is so small gives the chef time to assemble the dishes carefully by hand, showcasing his talents and letting you understand what haute cuisine is. Unique, flavorful dishes that followed amazed me and even after splitting four of them I wanted to order more. Glad that I can always come back - this is now on my top list!

PS the intimate atmosphere also makes it an amazing date spot
