What you should know about Restaurant Tracé.
Restaurant Tracé is best known for Chef Clément Vergeat, who opened the restaurant in 2021 after serving as Executive Chef of Shinjuku Kappo Nakajima, the MICHELIN-starred Tokyo restaurant celebrated for holding a star for more than 14 consecutive years, earning his own MICHELIN Star in just two years by uniting Japanese precision with contemporary French gastronomy through an ever-evolving seasonal tasting menu.
Years spent mastering exacting Japanese techniques remain evident in every meticulously composed course as pristine seafood, beautifully aged meats, peak-season vegetables, delicate broths, and refined sauces reveal extraordinary restraint and precision. Immaculate knife work, carefully judged cooking, subtle fermentation, and elegant plating allow every ingredient to express its fullest character without unnecessary embellishment, while thoughtfully paired wines enhance the progression from the first amuse-bouche through the final dessert. Every plate reflects a philosophy where technical excellence, seasonality, and quiet creativity converge into a physical experience that feels both deeply personal and unmistakably world-class.
