What you should know about Solstice.
Solstice is best known for being led by Meilleur Ouvrier de France Éric Trochon, among France's most respected culinary educators, whose intimate restaurant earned a MICHELIN Star through tasting menus that unite classical French technique with Japanese precision, while offering a bespoke eight-course Omakase experience rarely found in Parisian haute cuisine.
Meticulous technique transforms exceptional seasonal ingredients into dishes defined by extraordinary clarity, from ikejime line-caught fish and pristine shellfish to beautifully aged meats finished with delicate sauces that enhance. Binchotan charcoal imparts subtle depth, while painstaking knife work, exact cooking temperatures, and restrained seasoning allow every ingredient to express its fullest character. Signature creations such as truffle layered celery millefeuille, refined seafood preparations, and exquisitely balanced desserts unfold through a sequence of textures, aromas, and flavors that reward careful attention from the first amuse-bouche through the final petit four. Every course reflects the discipline and refinement expected of a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, creating a dining experience where technical mastery becomes unmistakably delicious.
