Few days back I went to La Fete Hiramastsu for dinner that is a French Michelin Restaurant located on the 37 th floor of Nakanoshima Festival Tower building in Higobashi, Osaka. Chef Hiramatsu is the first Japanese chef to receive a michelin star and he runs a range of cafes and restaurants. The restaurant has a gorgeous decor and is very unlike restaurants in Japan that have very simple and minimal decor. The dishes served there are a contemporary take on traditional French cuisine.
The restaurant is huge and takes up the entire floor with several dining rooms and banquet rooms used for weddings. They serve the first few courses in the restaurant but for the last two courses of dessert and coffee they escorted us to to a separate lounge with huge and comfy sofas. The restaurant has large windows with a beautiful 360 degrees view of Osaka city and the ambience is very sleek and modern with a beautiful chandelier and flower arrangement that acts as the focal point.
I don’t eat fist so they had prepared a special menu without it on request. We started with champagne and strawberries cocktail which was sort of our welcome drink. Their food is a classful fusion of French and Italian. Each and every course was excellent and mouth watering. They even had a modern take on Takoyaki ( Octopus balls ) that is the speciality of Osaka. Their cheese trolley was the best I have ever seen. And there service was really nice and proper. I was so full by the end that I had to actually leave the petit cakes and macaroons that came with my coffee..sigh!!
Their menus range from 60 $ to 250 $ per person. Our meal for two with 8-9 courses set us back with approx 400 $, so may be I will go back again if I wanna celebrate a special occasion.
