The villa is divided between a dedicated matcha bar, an open sushi counter, and a serene dining room. The modern menu balances tradition with contemporary approaches, featuring standout yellowtail tiradito, wagyu tataki, and exceptional A5 wagyu nigiri.

The philosophy of 'simplicity and complexity' translates to restrained flavours met with intricate execution on every plate. Cloud-like chandeliers and copper accents define the elegant interior, which includes a private dining room. The menu features buttery escargot, flavour-layered burgers, and perfect pasta, though the rich mi cuit dessert alone warrants a return visit. Sustainability is key, with local sourcing prioritized alongside exceptional Japanese imports.

The intimate, 42-seat space transitions from a morning café to an elegant evening restaurant with marble tables and art-lined walls.

Mains are deeply committed, from a pink veal chop with morel sauce to Dover sole meunière. While plant-based options are limited, the exceptional sides and fatal, deeply French desserts more than compensate.
