Le Sputnik — Restaurant in Tokyo

I definitely will not visit again! Won't recommend to others too. We, a party of 3, ordered 3 set menu. Unbelievably, when it came to the signature red rose dish, we were only provided with 2 and a cheap looking meat pie. The waiter asked us to share. We asked why and the 'manager' said only 2 are provided per table. That's ridiculous! I have never been asked to share in restaurants with this price range, especially French cuisine in Japan. I mentioned my disappointment when I paid but the manager just looked blank and never apologize. Out of the 14 courses only 2 to 3 were tasty. The chef was not able to balance the menu with different taste, color and food texture. Most of the dishes are served with a paste like sauce, mostly green with bubbles, taste tends to be sour. One of small fish dish even got a lot of bones. Western cuisine never requires fish bone removal by the customer. Overall, a very bad experience. I thought of complain to the chef but I didn't recognize him until he said goodbye at the door. He came out to clear the table once and looked like a waiter. I should have some doubt about the quality of this restaurant as it charges 18000 JPY per person while other best 50 Asian restaurants' prices starts at 32000 JYP and are fully...

Came here for dinner with a reservation. It is an omakase course where the staffs will explain each dish as it is being served. The menu consist of amuse bouche, appetizers, freshly baked bread, a pasta and a vegetable dish, signature foie gras parfait, a fish and a meat dish and desserts. Everything was delicious, the appetizers were unique, especially the taco with fish and fig which was surprisingly very tasty. The ravioli, tilefish and venison were cooked perfectly. The signature foie gras parfait was beautifully plated and formed into a rose with petals made of beetroot crisps which adds a contrasting texture to the smooth foie gras; it was pretty good at first but was too rich half way through. Desserts including the petit four were all great, not too sweet. Overall it was a quality meal for the price, pacing of the course was good and the staffs were friendly...

A Michelin star truly well-deserved. We visited for lunch and spent about 2.5 hours enjoying the full set menu, including their signature dishes like “The Rose” foie gras terrine (a beautifully sculpted rose-shaped chip atop foie gras) and Hokkaido deer venison (very tender and flavorful, fire-grilled for a delicately smoky taste, and thoughtfully paired with sweet, earthy, and peppery elements presented with a branch of an old rosemary tree). Every course was beautifully presented, making the experience as visually stunning as it was delicious. The staff were attentive to our dietary restrictions and sensitivities (like gluten) and provided excellent alternatives. The atmosphere is very cozy, classic, and stylish, with clean lines and uncluttered décor The entire experience was outstanding and offered great value for the price. We’ll definitely return on our next...
