Les Chanterelles — Restaurant in Tokyo

An absolute delight in every sense of the word. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, there is some real mushroom magic happening in here! The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, you feel as though you’ve been welcomed into the home of the head chef himself (who, by the way, is friendly and cheery as he introduces himself and the courses). Sitting at the bar, you get to witness the action firsthand as a seemingly endless flurry of activity takes place in the open kitchen— the meals prepared and assembled fresh by Chef Yusuke Nakada and his dutiful 3 sous chefs.

We had the chance to have dinner here, and what an amazing and unique experience. We decided to come here because of our love for mushrooms, French cuisine and Japanese cuisine, and it really didn't disappoint. The chef is charming, funny and attentive to your needs (the menu can be adjusted on demand). He served us varied dishes very deep in flavor, accompanied with excellent wine. We really feel like we found a gem of a restaurant in Tokyo, and we'll definitely be...
