Modern Cuisine
Trained in Japan before moving to France (where he worked with Stéphane Jégo, Bruno Verjus and Bertrand Grébaut), chef Masahide Ikuta works in an unpolished setting typical of the neighbourhood: scraped walls, waxed concrete and mottled mirrors. In his single blind menu that draws on premium ingredients, France meets Japan, eg Mont-Saint-Michel cockles, matured Simmental beef or Cantabrian anchovies. Clarity characterises his dishes with complex sauces – sashimi-style sea bream enhanced with leche de tigre, trout roe, mango, oxalis and sea fennel for a tangy, herbaceous touch. The wine cellar boasts almost 400 labels.
