Yoshi at the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo: Joel Robuchon’s First Japanese Restaurant

Yoshi Restaurant at Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo At the end of 2008 there was a lot of buzz in the foodie world about the new restaurant from Joël Robuchon, the world’s most starred chef with a total of 18 stars in the Michelin 2008 guide. Yoshi at the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo is the super-chef’s first ever Japanese resto. With some six French restaurants in Japan, Robuchon has developed a great passion for the country over the past 30 years, so Yoshi is billed as his “contemporary and poetic vision of Japan.” Japanese Chef Takéo Yamazaki, under the helm of Joël Robuchon and Executive Chef Christophe Cussac, heads the kitchen brigade. On the menu: a selection of Sushi, Sashimi and Maki as well as à la carte dishes such as Ebi No Soup (langoustine with Kombu consommé) and Zeitaku Wakame (seafood in jelly)– accompanied by a selection of sakés, Japanese green teas and international wines. With the addition of this restaurant, the Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo has become quite the gourmet destination. Already on offer: the Joël Robuchon Restaurant, boasting two Michelin stars.
