Maison Tateru Yoshino

The French restaurant Maison Tateru Yoshino feels like a gourmet sanctuary inside the Ana Crowne Plaza Hotel, with glamorous interiors featuring nude-colored curved banquettes, cloth-draped tables and plush carpets. The design draws inspiration from the natural patterns of flowers and coral reefs, paying homage to the chef’s hometown of Kikajima. The venue is helmed by Yoshino Tateru, whose contemporary French cuisine reflects his experience in Paris, where he stinted at Jamin under the legendary Joel Robuchon, before opening his own venue, Stella Maris, near the Arc de Triomphe in 1997. His culinary prowess has earned consistent Michelin Guide recognition — one star for Stella Maris and another for his former Ginza establishment in 2008. For his latest Osaka restaurant, Maison Tateru Yoshino has maintained its Michelin star streak since 2018. Paired with impeccable service — efficient, warm and arguably the best in town — Maison Tateru Yoshino is more than deserving of its many accolades. The piece de resistance is the Salmon mi-cuit ala Stella Maris, which was hatched in Paris. The item showcases slow-cooked, lightly smoked salmon, served just shy of rare with delicate pancakes. Another standout is “Monet's Garden,” a vibrant, artistic presentation of seasonal vegetables. Yoshino’s ever-changing menu, rooted in the cuisine of the earth, delivers classic French techniques with a contemporary twist. Michelin Guide accolades: 2018 - 2024 - 1 Michelin Star
