Sant Pau

Located near Nagatcho Station on the southwest side of the Imperial Palace, this fantastic Spanish restaurant is the Eastern base of celebrated Catalonian chef, Carme Ruscalleda. The space is filled with natural light, with colorful paintings running across the walls. She leaves the day-to-day running of Sant Pau in the hands of a highly competent Japanese associate, who delivers her flavorful take on Catalonian cuisine in style. One key characteristic of Ruscalleda’s style is the harmonious marriage of seasonal fruits with meat and seafood. Attractive modern presentation is also key, with visual flourishes like vegetables cut in the intricate shape of plants, and garnished with edible flowers. Various themed menus come and go throughout the year, so repeat diners will never be bored with what’s on offer. Accommodations can also be made for vegetarian and pescatarian diners — just be sure to mention this at the time of reservation. Michelin Stars: 2020 - 2 Michelin stars 2021 - 1 Michelin stars
