Yoshi

Yoshi at the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo holds a Michelin star and occupies an elegant position within the hotel s grounds, where the dining room opens onto a Japanese-inspired garden that provides a moment of quietude at the heart of Monte-Carlo. The restaurant offers one of the most accomplished Japanese dining experiences on the French Riviera, with chef Takeo Yamazaki leading a kitchen that balances the precision of traditional technique with an awareness of the international palate. The menu encompasses nigiri, maki and sashimi prepared with premium-grade fish alongside teppanyaki dishes, tempura, and seasonal Japanese ingredients, all composed to highlight the quality of the produce rather than overwhelm it. A carefully selected sake list of more than twenty references provides pairings that guide guests through a range of flavour profiles from delicate and floral to rich and complex. The room itself is designed with restraint and attention to detail, incorporating natural materials and understated Japanese aesthetic principles that create a calm and considered atmosphere. Yoshi appeals equally to guests who know Japanese cuisine well and to those who are exploring it for the first time, with service that is informed, welcoming, and thoughtfully paced.
