French food in the hands of Japanese chefs is one of my fav fine dining genres , however this leant a little more bistro than I anticipated.
Fact is there was nothing wrong with the meal whatsoever just a case of my expectations not being correct .

A grilled Spanish carabinero prawn was full of flavour and the sourdough bread helped greatly in mopping up the juices .

3 fine specimens of white asparagus were paired with a white miso espuma , a satisfying if not exciting dish .

Cuttlefish tartare were bound and formed into balls and deep fried with kataifi pastry . Perhaps this dish was a nod to HK street food. I must confess I prefer the local HK cuttlefish paste balls but did enjoy this dish regardless .

Last course was a solid puck of braised monkfish with a ragu of barley , chorizo , green olive and fish broth. This was perfect Provençal comfort food .
