Last hurrah for Chef EIJI TANIGUCHI at L’Evo. Apparently he is leaving the River Retreat Garaku to set up his own shop somewhere deeper in the mountains. I am looking forward to his opening in the fall of 2020 as I always loved coming here for lunch.
The dining room is set next to the river with beautiful views and his food was always wonderful. Inspiring, modern but with a deep reference to traditional local cuisine, sourced from the surroundings and executed to perfection.
The good news is his sous chef will take over, so my hopes are high.
