I had the pleasure of enjoying an exquisite French dinner course at the renowned "Les Saisons" located in the Imperial Hotel.In a time when many restaurants lean towards innovative and unconventional dishes, Les Saisons firmly upholds the tradition of classic French cuisine while incorporating modern elements. Each dish was a continuous source of delight.The ambiance of the restaurant is both classic and lavish, reminiscent of the interiors of the Palace of Versailles in France. The service was refined, and it truly exemplified what a top-tier restaurant should be.This establishment has long been a leader in the Japanese French dining scene.⚫︎ Amuse-Bouche "Pistachio and Trout" Served in a dish filled with ice featuring the restaurant's name, this dish was a delightful surprise. The flavor of seaweed was prominent. Although it wasn't on the menu, this might just be the MVP of the meal.⚫︎ Appetizer "Duck Foie Gras Finished with Saikyo Miso" Visually stunning, the vegetables were delicious. The foie gras was light and easy to eat.⚫︎ Cold Appetizer "Mud Squid (Aori Ika) and Asparagus" The caviar and lemon sauce paired perfectly with the squid. The asparagus had lemon inside its cuts, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. A beautifully completed dish.⚫︎ Fish Dish "Thick Dover Sole with Mushrooms" Dover sole is a type of flounder. The sauce was exquisite, perfectly seasoned. The mushrooms and vegetables were incredibly tasty.⚫︎ Meat Dish Roast Duck → Changed to "Special Wagyu Tenderloin" The fragrant Chilean truffle (JPY 800 per gram) matched beautifully with the tenderloin, creating a blissful experience with each bite, while simultaneously evoking a contradictory feeling of not wanting it to end. The cooking was impeccable, and the accompanying potatoes were crispy and delicious. A dish that did not disappoint.⚫︎ Dessert "Modern Pavlova" The refreshing citrus aroma was delightful, and the combination of the meringue's texture with the cream was exquisite. It was light and easy to enjoy.⚫︎ Coffee and Chocolate In addition to dessert, chocolates and cream puffs were served. I also received a birthday cake, leaving me happily full.⚫︎ Bread Three types of bread were served throughout the course. Each was firm and perfectly paired with the dishes at that moment. The butter was also delicious.Thank you for a wonderful culinary experience.
