"This is the sister restaurant of chef Julien Lemarié's MICHELIN-starred Japanese-style restaurant (IMA). At lunchtime, in a relaxed atmosphere, you can enjoy a variety of Japanese donburi – a bowl of rice with toppings that vary according to the season or inspiration. In the evening, French dishes are skilfully revisited with a Japanese touch, such as leeks with miso and katsuobushi vinaigrette. The service comes with a smile!" - Michelin Inspector

"“Cooking has always been a means of travel for me”, explains chef Julien Lemarié, who has plied his trade in London, Tokyo and Singapore. At his restaurant, Ima, which means “now” in Japanese, this talented culinary technician conjures up instinctive cuisine showcased on tasting menus that combine subtlety with regional and Asian influences. Lemarié enhances his dishes with broths, infusions, spices, aromatic plants and algae. And for those keen to enjoy the full Japanese experience, make sure you take a seat at the bar. It's now your turn to travel!" - Michelin Inspector

We enjoyed a lot our 5 course lunch at IMA, all dishes were beautiful and very delicious. The wine list is a nice selection of modern and classics, there are easy going wines as well as more special ones. We opted for red from Jura and it was beautifully matching with all the dishes. In the end we asked for sake and it was also very refined. The team is highly professional and friendly. The owner is very cool too, he came to the table in the end of the lunch and we had a nice chat. Looking forward to come back to IMA again! Absolutely recommend!

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great meal with friends or family, this restaurant truly delivers. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious dishes!

Disappointing experience. The meal was disappointing throughout, the restaurant was unwelcoming and gave the impression you should be privileged to eat there. The head chef was not happy about having to accommodate to dietary requirements and came over personally to ask why they needed to be made, he made us feel completely unwelcome and we debated leaving. The remainder of the meal didn’t get much better as nearly all of the courses were an odd mixture of average food, presented nicely.

Food and wine pairing was fantastic. Service was seamless and despite being seated next to a client with visible signs of Covid, the team handled our request to move very elegantly and provided an excellent solution. Special mention to Georgia who was fantastic.

I recently visited IMA Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with their expertise in cooking with ginger, galangal, and other Asian spices. The flavors of their dishes were simply divine, and I could taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. It's no surprise that they have been awarded a Michelin star and "étoile verte" for their commitment to sustainability. Apart from the food, I was also taken aback by the restaurant's ambiance and location. It was a perfect blend of contemporary design and traditional Asian elements, which made for a delightful dining experience. The restaurant's location in Rennes was also a great plus, as it was easy to find and accessible. Overall, I highly recommend IMA Restaurant for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Rennes. From the exquisite dishes to the fantastic ambiance and location, IMA Restaurant truly deserves its Michelin star and "étoile verte" recognition."

I really enjoyed my food here, it was a excellent value, and great service. The dishes had very unique flavors that I’ve never tried before. I would recommend dining here. I got the pause menu and I’m sure the larger course meals are great. 5 courses was enough food for me.

A truly must-try gastronomic experience. This small, charming place hosted us for a quick lunch in the midst of August. There were only a few tables, and the service was relaxed yet attentive. They offered a limited selection of carefully chosen dishes on the menu, which costs just 22 euros for lunch. The standout dish was a bowl with crispy yet tender pork over rice, and it was amazing. The dessert included a variety of well-crafted gelato flavors, and it was equally fantastic. Big shoutout to the ladies who made this unexpected taste adventure possible with their know-how.

What an incredible experience IMA is. I was able to sit at the bar and enjoyed dinner service while seeing the plating happening right in front of me. The chef spoke English well so I was able to ask questions and was treated with the utmost respect. The food was some of the best I have ever had in France. Astonishing attention to detail, original and creative flavors, and plates prettier than a polished pearl made this dinner unforgettable. Authentic Japanese flavors intertwined with the flavors of Brittany were very fun to experience. Not to mention, the service was near-impeccable. As a bleached-hair 20-year-old dude who spoke little French and ate by himself, my time in France was met with many weird looks and unfriendly experiences; however, the staff at IMA were friendly for every moment I was there. The sommelier was happy to teach me about wine and how it worked with the dishes. The waitresses were so attentive when it came to refilling water, taking finished plates, or sensing that I had a question to ask. They even taught me some French! All the staff would let me pass when walking through the restaurant, which made me feel like royalty and was incredible consistency across the board. The reviews can only explain so much about what you will experience here. If you are in Rennes and have the time and money, make sure you go here.
