Artisan de la Truffe Paris Tokyo Midtown — Restaurant in Tokyo

Truffle specialized restaurant in Roppongi. Went for dinner and had a course menu with wine pairing. The course itself was good, and we could select dishes for every piece of the course. However, naturally that beat the purpose of the wine pairing… Which I felt that became very unnecessary, and poorly done. That being said, the food was very good. The starter of a modern take on burrata cheese was very good, and the tagliatelle pasta was also beautifully made. I will admit that I did not think that the lamb on the main dish was que that good.

The desserts took a bit of extra time to prepare (~30 min) but the presentation...
