Chef Kunihisa Goto grew up in Japan, and trained in Japan and France. His restaurant has one…read moreMichelin Star and three toques from the Gault & Millau. We enjoyed the creativeness of the cuisine, which is a mélange of French and Japanese traditions. The staff are very attentive and their presentation of the course superior. The meal often reminded me of Kaiseki (懐石) cuisine in Japan. This is a series of small dishes delicately presented. This sensibility is blended with the French Mise en Bouche. Great detailed is paid to the bread, butter, plates, and other details. The plating uses plates with a Japanese feeling, but still have hints of Western sensibility. The presentation on the plate is also an amazing combination of Japanese and French traditions. The colors and placement are beautiful. Of course, it comes down to the taste of the food. We took the green tasting menu. I started with the Carpaccio of Scallops (the other choice is Foie Gras). The scallops were wrapped in Endive. The next course was a trout with a similar feeling to both sushi and ceviche. Then followed by pigeon presented two ways; on a plate and with a leg in a bowl with lentils. Then for dessert we had a Lemon dessert with a banana sauce. Avocado was added to the lemon mouse, which tasted great, added color, and was a bold move. There were many small mise en bouche in between courses that highlighted the meal. I did not take notes to keep track of all of them.

Not really a review for L'axel, but rather for its patisserie, l'A patisserie. This patisserie is…read moreapparently focused on Japanese-French fusion pastries, and are quite haute - each will set you back 7-8 EUR. We were a group of 8 and ordered a bunch of pastries to share - we got the Sultane (a biscuit with citrus and fig jam, topped with fresh figs and whipped cream dollops), the Or Vert (a pistachio roll filled with pistachio cream and raspberry jam), the Tonka (a soft vanilla cream and chocolate mousse on top of a soft chocolate biscuit, enrobed in a thin casing of chocolate), the Williams (a vanilla mousse with pear compote on a nut biscuit), and then some pain au chocolate praline (pain au chocolate with both chocolate and praline filling, also topped with chocolate). Given my Asian tooth, I prefer desserts that are not as sweet. The Sultane was therefore perfect; the figs and candied citrus added a nice sweetness, balanced by the base (which resembled a graham biscuit). Second favourite is the pain au chocolate - at 2.20 EUR, it isn't much pricier than a classic version, but is far more indulgent! The other desserts were just okay for me - all were super sweet. The Or Vert wasn't too sugary, but I didn't really enjoy the pairing. The Tonka was okay if I just ate the casing and the base, and the Williams was just a sugar bomb. Overall, this patisserie is a good place to splurge, but be ready for some sweet pastries!
