Reviews
The level of creativity, visual presentation, and (of course) taste were what I’d expect from a 2*. Service was warm and knowledgeable, especially the older gentleman. Wines paired well.
I’ve dined at my fair share of starred restaurants, mostly in NYC and Paris. I have not felt this way about a dining experience in quite some time. Note: my bias is for creative/innovative cuisine.
Will let the photos do the rest of the talking.
Chef Atsushi Tanaka’s menu remains a masterclass in texture and innovation. The most unforgettable moment was the “Camouflage” course. Served just before the Scallop and Chestnut dish, it featured tender cooked fish topped with flash-frozen white cheese granules. The sensation of these cold, crunchy grains melting against the warm fish was a textural masterpiece I haven’t experienced anywhere else.
The Scallop dish that followed was superb, but the Lobster course was another highlight. Interpreted in three ways, it was accompanied by pumpkin that enveloped the table in a rich, autumnal aroma. For the main, the Venison of Picardie with kumquat kosho and black garlic bridged the gap between land and sea effortlessly.
We paired the meal with the 2021 Pineau d’Aunis by J.C. Jézéquel. It was a genuinely “hip” choice—a natural wine that offered a beautiful, rose-hued aroma. What impressed me most was its versatility; it maintained a subtle, delicate elegance that lasted until the very last sip. It is rare to find a wine that can so perfectly bridge a seafood-dominant menu with a game meat main, but this bottle did it flawlessly.
We finished with the Cédrat (Citron) dessert. Presented in four distinct textures, it was a refreshing end to a meal where finding a flaw was impossible. The service was warm and professional, making this long-awaited return truly perfect.
We appreciated the clear English explanations of each dish. The minimalist Scandinavian decor complemented the artistry of the food beautifully, and at the end, we were given a printed menu listing everything we’d enjoyed — a lovely touch.
Standout dishes included the chervil roots with hamachi and roe trout; Simmental beef with basil and eggplant; scallop from Normandie with plum boshi; and Banka trout with juniper and parsley. The desserts — an apple served six ways and a refreshing mango creation — were light, elegant finishes.
We dined at two Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, and this one was our favorite — truly outstanding, even among those we’ve experienced in Norway, Iceland, and Denmark.
They deserve a second star 100%! An experience to repeat
– Excellent service
– especially loved the presentation of the dish with the carrot, it was creative and memorable
– The mocktail was also exceptional — not too sweet!
The Bad:
– The lighting was a bit harsh — but that’s just nitpicking.
The Ugly:
None.
One of the best meals I’ve ever had!
Service was very warm and welcoming! My wife and I had a blast talking to the staff — who were very friendly, and showed us a fun time! It was a pleasure to meet Chef Atsushi as he came to our table at the end of our meal.
The balance of flavours was quite exceptional. At A.T. You can identify Chef Atsushi’s personality through each course. The signature dishes are a good standard for the menu. However, the other dishes surrounding the signatures showcase creativity and seasonality.
Thank you very much Restaurant A.T. for welcoming my wife and I to your fantastic restaurant.
We did one pairing and enjoyed a few alcohol free cocktails – which I would highly recommend for anyone even if they enjoy alcohol.
Highly recommend to get a spot!
