Dominique Bouchet Tokyo

Dominique Bouchet’s Tokyo restaurant presents both a brilliant marriage of fine Japanese produce and French cuisine, and a trip down memory lane. The eponymous chef does most of his business in Paris, and was once lieutenant to the famous Joël Robuchon. Two different set menus are available, one which uses Japanese ingredients for contemporary French haute cuisine, and one which is essentially a best-hits compilation from Monsieur Bouchet’s illustrious career. Highlight dishes include steamed sole with parmesan; pan-roasted wagyu beef with potato dauphinoise and port sauce; and pan-fried foie gras on macaroni gratin. The lighter sauces used here are more in keeping with modern French cuisine, but much of the dishes they’re used in still retain a classic essence Seating is split across private rooms and tables in the modular dining room, which is divided by sliding screens. Whether you come here to discover modern French-Japanese cuisine, or tour the career of one of the best living French chefs, it will all be clear to see why this restaurant holds two Michelin stars (2020) to its name.
