Description
He had left Paris stunned at Abri, where, without a moment's hesitation, he sent an immense neo-bistronomy into a space no bigger than a broom closet. A Japanese chef stingy with words but prolix with dishes, in almost telepathic communication with his teams, with whom he propelled dazzling, incisive dishes in a brutalist decor. He's back in Pigalle, working with mixologist Hugo Combe (bar Classique) to open an address where cocktails give short shrift to his ever-sharpening small plates: roasted asparagus, nettle, poultry jus and roasted hazelnut; saddle of lamb and lustral meat jus; coffee ravioli and lentils... Minore, the resto-bar in major mode?
