La Cime

Dining at La Cime was truly a meal to remember. The food was exceptional, offering a variety of new and interesting dishes, each one beautifully presented and packed with umami flavor. Every plate was a work of art, showcasing the chef's creativity and mastery. The restaurant itself is intimate, creating the perfect setting for a special meal. We enjoyed pairing our dishes with Japanese wine, which added an extra layer of uniqueness to the experience. The only downside was a slight language barrier that made it difficult to fully understand the details of what we were eating. However, that didn’t take away from the overall excellence of the meal. It was a memorable dining experience, and we’d gladly return.

This dinner was the greatest disappointment of our trip to Japan. We were so looking forward to celebrating our special occasion and perhaps we hyped it up too much but we were honestly completely turned off to the experience and will never recommend it to anyone. First, I’ll say, the service was great and this is not a reflection of the service at all. They were very kind, respectful, and attentive. The meal itself was a massive disappointment and we honestly couldn’t believe we spent that much money for the meal. The vibe of many of the dishes was deconstructing certain vegetables but it just missed the mark. The first amuse was flavorless, the onion soup with hops did not work as a combination, the grilled asparagus had me questioning why we were paying an obscene amount for this meal, we could go on. The meal had cool elements but overall lacked flavor. Some dishes were good, such as the squid. But in the 9ish amuse bouche and 7ish courses there was 1 fish we loved, a few we liked, the rest were ok, and there were about 3 dishes my partner straight up hated. Like, couldn’t finish it at all. We also got the wine pairings and it’s worth noting that they were all whites / 1 bubbly / 1 rose except 1 glass of red which just reflects the food was mostly vegetables and some fish except for 1 duck course. Wine pours were also a bit inconsistent. Last, we were told to budget 3-3.5 hours for the meal and the meal lasted 4 hours. In addition, the room was so incredibly hot. My partner ran to the restroom to splash water on his face, that’s how warm it was. We’ve done several fine dining / Michelin star dinners and we’ve never had such a horrendous experience. We flip back and forth between being angry, disappointed, and in disbelief on how much we spent for a dinner we hated. But one things for sure, we will never return.

Had a great dinner with my wife here, the service from arrival until leaving was so impeccable. The foods were delicately prepared and served with the most authentic care. The staff were explaining the food so clearly and highlighting the ingredients from many areas around Japan. Wine pairing also worth for the dinner, complimenting the dishes well.

A beautiful evening at the beginning of March, Sakura trees just about to bloom in Osaka. My wife and I had the incredibly good fortune to dine at La Cime. The staff: Whisper quiet, attentive but unafraid to share a smile as you appreciate the meal. As our first Michelin star experience in Japan we were floored to be greeted by the head chef at the end of the evening. The food: Attending La Cime truly requires an open mind and a hearty stomach. Any and every ingredient is fair game. From blood sausage croquettes, to elegant sashimi, to beautiful duck, every dish built upon the next to offer a totally cohesive tasting menu. The play between rich and hearty to light and clarifying was evident and highly appreciated. Despite the 13+ tastings and nigh 100 different ingredients, rarely was there a misstep in execution. A scintillating event for the creative foodie with a touch of groundedness. Presentation: The stark black walls are artfully framed by rich dark wooden accents. The tables drawn taut with black fabric and illuminated as if the food are about to take centre stage. The gentle woosh of the service door as the staff glide to and from the service counter to the dining room. An atmosphere that gently invites you to participate in a carefully orchestrated ensemble of fine dining. To be clear, we thoroughly enjoyed our time and tastes at La Cime. We offer the highest praise to the chef, his staff and the creations put forward. All current and future accolades are well deserved.

amazing experience with family ,nice food professional service, especially we got a taiwanese waiter, very clear and smooth to translate all the ingredients to mandarin ,bravo team .

Exquisite experience The dining room had just three tables and they were set simply in a way that creates the impression of a blank canvas. Each course was beautiful and delicate, playing in the space between French and Japanese cuisine Compared with some other experiences the kitchen felt far away, behind two glass walls, but the chef was nice enough to come greet us at the end of the meal and say goodbye

Always wanted to visit this restaurant. So glad I did!! Food was very creative and clean. Server were all very professional.

Wife and I had a great time. Definitely one of the better/?best Michelin star restaurants we have been to. Everything was bursting with flavor and it wasn't heavy. Highly recommend a trip
