This hidden gem in the Wan Chai backstreets serves innovative French/Japanese cuisine. The teppan-style open kitchen, arranged around the 12 seats, puts executive chef Daisuke Mori’s culinary skills smack in the spotlight. An alum of Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental and Le Chateau de Joel Robuchon, Mori offers a seasonal nine-course menu of Japanese ingredients executed French style.
