Chef's Restaurant

On the heights of Dole, in a small street in the historic center, Junichi Iida reigns supreme over his kitchens, and can count on a devoted clientele, visiting him for every occasion, from a meal with colleagues to a family event. For an even more immersive experience, it's essential to reserve a seat in the Japanese lounge. You'll have the opportunity to discover traditional Japanese cuisine, with some great fusion ideas between France and Japan. The sushi is a little too fresh and the rice could offer a little more lightness, but the fish cuts are convincing, the turbot stuffed with scallops is full of elegance, with crunchy asparagus in yuzu sauce; a must-try sesame crème brûlée, full of delicacy. The menu is otherwise quite extensive (sushi, maki, sashimi and other specialties, to eat in or take away). A fine sake and wine cellar, with numerous references in Juras and Burgundies.
