Hakuba

Absolutely loved Hakuba. We went there for my birthday and the service was impeccable and extremely welcoming. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and every course was a wow moment. It truly felt like travelling back to Japan. Worth every bite so we will definitely come back !

My partner and I had great time here. It met our expectations of high quality Japanese kaiseki cuisine. The whole team delivered top notch service. A big shout out to sommelier Matisse who created a wonderful pairing for the set. Great sake (even better than their already perfect wine pick). Also want to give a shoutout to Thomas who served our table very well! Btw we really love their desserts and also the gift of the matcha cake :)

We were impressed by a few dishes, such as the iwashi, otoro, and unagi. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the chef prepare the food right in front of us. The ‘Signature Temaki Caviar’ was just okay and not a must-try. However, service here needs improvement; they didn’t refill our tea unless we reminded them to. Overall it was a pleasant dining experience, we would consider revisiting.

Hakuba is a place where silence becomes part of the experience, allowing attention to settle before the first course arrives. The omakase unfolds with remarkable composure and precision. The cooking honours Japanese tradition while quietly drawing on exceptional produce from French and Atlantic coasts. Each sequence feels deliberate, never showy. At the counter, nigiri arrives with calm authority, and the progression has real rhythm, moving from purity to depth without losing clarity. The room reinforces this focus. Dark walnut, minimal gesture, discreet lighting that seems to pause on each plate. You feel held in a contained space, despite being inside a palace. Service is exemplary in its discretion. Attentive, informed and impeccably timed, it supports the experience without commentary. Pairings, especially sake, are handled with confidence and cultural fluency. This is not a table for haste or spectacle. It suits moments of intention, when you want craft at the highest level. A table that stays with you, and one I would return to when seeking clarity rather than performance. Ici, tout est dans la justesse.

One of my best experiences, in Paris highly recommended food service. Everything was on point. The staff is extremely nice and professional the chefs are extremely talented one of the best Japanese restaurants in Paris I love it so much. will definitely go back here again

A typical kaiseki restaurant with only counter seating. The ambiance is cozy and warm, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. The Yume menu is harmonious from start to finish, with excellent flavor, beautiful presentation, and the highest quality. The accompanying Byakuren option is excellent. Both the wine and sake selections are fantastic and perfectly round off the dining experience. The service is extremely polite, always attentive, and courteous, making you feel completely at ease. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Omakase experience in Hakuba. Everything was wonderful.Soon will be Michelin Star restaurant . Thank you chef Takuya Waranabe and his whom team for this incredible dinner. Yume san and her husband are thrilled to be here ☺️

New Omakase at Cheval Blanc worth the visit. Collaboration between 3 chefs delivers a great experience with perfect rice, outstanding fish and subtle tastes. Certain to make noise in the already excelente Parisian japanese scene!!
