Pierre Gagnaire

Restaurant Details

While the master chef Pierre Gagnaire doesn't man the counter of his Tokyo restaurant himself — appropriately titled Pierre Gagnaire Tokyo — there's no pair of hands better to leave his menu to than those of his second-in-command, Chef Akasaka Yosuke.

Having worked under the master chef himself, Chef Akasaka utilizes the best of Japan's seasonal ingredients to recreate the flavors of France. Popular dishes feature ingredients like black and white truffles as well as lobster from Brittany in western France. But the best selling item on the menu is definitely the "Cocktail de Poche:" five small appetizers inspired by Chef Akasaka's kaiseki experience during his numerous stints at various kaiseki restaurants

There's a range of lunch courses to choose from at Pierre Gagnaire Tokyo. Each one includes an appetizer, a main dish, and petits fours; the bigger lunch courses also include desserts, coffee, and an amuse-bouche — and they're the more affordable options compared to the dinner courses. If a little more expense can be spared, while far and away the most expensive on offer, the Balzac course is a strong qualifier for the most life-changing dining experience that might be had.

Pierre Gagnaire has many outlets spread across the whole world, from Dubai to Da Nang, but this specific two-Michelin-starred restaurant offers the original tastes of this cuisine while also incorporating local flavors as an appreciative nod towards Japanese culture.

There are few better spots for this restaurant than the ANA InterContinental Tokyo, one of the most luxurious five-star hotels even in the affluent Akasaka district. Just as the ANA InterContinental is the hotel to which all other hotels aspire towards, so too is Pierre Gagnaire Tokyo a French restaurant which all other restaurants hope to be.

Needless to say, for a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, reservations are difficult — but it's safe to say no guest has ever left the halls of Pierre Gagnaire disappointed.
