L'Aspérule

Chef Keigo Kimura creates his signature Japanese-inflected French cuisine in this simple, contemporary decor. Using the finest ingredients – Challans duck, Wagyu beef, lobster and game – he devises a mystery tasting menu that calls on sophisticated cooking techniques (grilling over binchotan charcoal) and an impressive eye for minimalist plating. The memory of his wild boar pie with its shiny golden pastry and intensely game-flavoured filling, accompanied by Sarladaise potatoes, shiitake mushrooms and a port jus lingers with us still! Last but not least, the wine cellar beneath the restaurant is an Aladdin’s Cave for connoisseurs. Shorter menu deal at lunchtime.
