L'AS
Simplicity and fine French dining are the hallmarks of this Minami-Aoyama restaurant, which wears its Michelin Bib Gourmand with pride.
Restaurant Details
With the global culinary scene dominated by tomato foam and edible gold leaf, L'AS stands out by daring to strip things back to basics. Located in the trendy affluent Minami-Aoyama neighborhood in Shibuya, L'AS — French for “the ace” — places a premium on simplicity and unpretentious cooking at reasonable prices.
The titular “ace” in the restaurant’s name, Chef Kaneko Daisuke’s commitment to transparency and simple plating has made L'AS enduringly popular for over a decade. To take the burden of choice off the diner, he has chosen to make only one omakase course available at a time, which changes like clockwork every four weeks. Nonetheless, guests can expect three things to remain constant: his signature crispy foie gras sandwiches, impeccable wine pairings, and wonderful stripped-back French cuisine.
An open kitchen and cool-toned interior cultivate a lively, stylish atmosphere, making L'AS perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations.
