As of today, the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo has reopened Yoshi for lunch service. The restaurant is the only Japanese eatery on the Côte d’Azur to have been awarded a Michelin star since 2010. Behind the kitchen’s helm is Chef Takeo Yamazaki, who offers patrons a fresh, healthy and modern menu with traditional flavors, adapted to Western palates. Takeo Yamazaki joined the Metropole Monte Carlo 13 years ago as the Head Chef of Yoshi and within two years received a Michelin Star for his cuisine that mixes the best of Eastern and Western flavors.
A highlight of the experience at Yoshi is the welcoming atmosphere designed by Didier Gomez, who worked extensively to marinate a selection of fine materials, such as ebony wood, stone and silks. Complementing the fine interiors of Yoshi are Japanese inspired gardens crafted by landscape architect, Jacques Messin. The garden’s design language was instituted to perfectly augment Chef Yamazaki’s simplistic, yet refined sunrise cuisine. Yoshi’s open kitchen and sushi bar allows guests to admire the artfully crafted maki, sashimi, nigiri, as well as fish or meat cooked with a teppanyaki grill. Highlights of the menu include EBI SHINJO (shrimp balls with kombu) and GHINDARA (black cod marinated for 72 hours). Yoshi’s celebrated cuisine is accompanied by fine Japanese sake, whiskies and green teas.
Yoshi’s hours are from Tuesday to Saturday, from 12:15pm to 2:00 pm and from 7:30pm to 11:00pm. To book your table at the best Japanese restaurant on the Riviera, call +377 93 15 13 13 or email yoshi@metropole.com
