L'Osier is a restaurant full of refinement. When you arrive the establishment, the doorman opens the door for you which lead to a cozy circular lobby. You then proceed to the spiral of happiness by walking down the staircase to the main dining hall. With white, gold color in warm tones, the atmopshere is elegant and at the same time very comfortable to spend time in.
Food is what you would expect from a top tier French restaurant: delicate flavors effortlessly wrapped up together in harmony.
Dublin Bay Prawn: A lot of flavors from seafood, mushroom and vegetables are going on, all well held together by champagne sauce enhanced by saffron. The ravioli has excellent texture.
Amadai from Yamaguchi: Amadai as a popular ingredient for seafood courses needs no more introduction. The truffle coating and sea urchin sauce bring out the maximum of the fish.
Megumi Gamo Duck from Aichi: tender, flavorful duck with subtle smoky note, paired by citrus fruit and alicante sauce. Absolutely brilliant!
The sommelier is very knowledgeable and does a great job in wine pairing. Three glasses of red wine for the main course is a playful experience by showing progression of flavors. My only small compliant is that they could add some Japanese wine to the list to showcase local winemaking, just as how brilliantly they are utilizing local ingredients.
The dessert which is made of apple in different forms is very interesting. A glass of Chateau d'Yquem marks the perfect finish to this outstanding dining experience.
