La Mer the Classic
If you have not tried seafood-based French cuisine before, this 2020 Michelin-starred restaurant in Shima is the ultimate restaurant to visit.
Restaurant Details
Located inside the Shima Kanko Hotel The Bay Suites is this French restaurant that’s been awarded a Michelin star for 2020. It’s not just any French restaurant — La Mer the Classic specializes in French cuisine using seafood catches in Japan. Mie Prefecture is abundant with seafood due to its location facing the wide sea. This type of cuisine was created because of the ancient court’s pride in being a “food country” and hence the people celebrated all sorts of regional seafood.
People near and far, local and international guests alike, travel all the way here for a taste of this unique type of cuisine. Nowhere else in the country will you be served abalone steak as well as ise prawn cream soup — these are the most prominent dishes of La Mer the Classic. The combination of local fish and seafood catches with French traditional culinary techniques creates a special type of cuisine that is especially unique at La Mer the Classic.
