(Temporarily closed for refurbishment) The name Koy Shunka translates as “intense seasonal aromas”, and with it comes something much more than just a working philosophy. In this Japanese restaurant which has adapted its cuisine to modern aesthetic tastes, its loyalty to the gastronomic traditions of its homeland is clearly evident, as is its view that the skill of a chef is an art form, with some dishes eliciting an emotional response! In this resolutely contemporary space, choose between the impressive wooden bar counter from where guests can view activity in the kitchen, or more conventional tables for those preferring a more intimate dining experience. The cuisine of chef Hideki Matsuhisa, which brings together Japanese techniques and Mediterranean ingredients, always focuses on well-conceived pairings and a hint of creativity. One dish of particular note is the mouth-watering Tataki of A5 Wagyu, with caramelised soy sauce, creamy morel mushroom rice, Wagyu fat and veal jus.
