Two Stars: Excellent cooking
Décor is chic in white and silver – like the cuisine, classic yet modern. Chef Satoru Asahina’s theme is ‘traditional heritage with modern innovation’. Classic recipes are read with a modern interpretation: for example, poulet en vessie – chicken wrapped in pig’s bladder. The name ‘Gastronome’ reflects Asahina’s desire that his restaurant become a gathering-place for gourmets. Elegant cuisine as beautiful as a painting.
