Sourire

Opened in 2011, this masterful Nakameguro spot sure succeeds in bringing a sourire (smile) to our faces every time. Chef Takahiro Yuzawa makes the trip to Tsukiji daily, returning with superb seafood and produce that forms the basis for his uncomplicated, Japanese-inspired French cooking. His ethos of simplicity and gradual fusion is on full display in the eel and foie gras terrine, an exquisite combo that's become something of a Yuzawa signature. At dinner, the Menu Sourire (¥7,500 plus tax and service) is an excellent choice that'll get you all the flavours of the season without breaking the bank, while the Menu Bonheur (¥15,000) is recommended for those who really want to challenge the chef. Lunch sets start from ¥3,000, so first-timers might want to visit during the day to get their bearings.
