What you should know about Yoshinori.
Yoshinori is best known for being opened by Japanese chef Yoshinori Morié in October 2017 after his tenure at Le Petit Verdot, Encore, and L'Auberge du 15, earning his first MICHELIN Star in 2019, retaining the distinction through 2025 and 2026, and expressing what he describes as a “Japanese soul” through refined French gastronomy rooted in meticulous technique, exceptional seasonal ingredients, visual precision, and harmonious balance.
Seasonal tasting menus transform that philosophy into beautifully restrained compositions where Corrèze veal tartare, cockles, cauliflower, monkfish, lotus root, mushrooms, pigeon ballotines, porcini, dates, carrots, combava, pristine scallops, delicate trout, shellfish, and energetic vegetables reveal extraordinary control of texture, temperature, acidity, and aroma. Carefully layered broths, luminous sauces, and impeccably judged seasoning allow every ingredient to retain its individual character while contributing to a seamless sequence of flavors. Desserts conclude the experience with the same precision, reinforcing a style of cooking where elegance emerges through restraint. The result is a deeply immersive meal that demonstrates how Japanese discipline and French culinary tradition can coexist in remarkable harmony.
