A new concept from decorated restaurateur Yasushi Karato, a pioneer of vegetable-focused French cuisine, Le Chef du Mois serves as a showcase for some of the city’s most in-demand culinary minds. A different guest chef helms the kitchen every month, putting their distinctive spin on the only food menu item available.
That offering is a three-course meal (¥2,000) composed of soup, a meaty main dish and a vegetable-forward platter that diners can customise by picking their favourites from the eight kinds of fresh, seasonal produce available at the counter. The kitchen serves only 100 meals per day, so you’d best get there before the greens run out. Psst: Le Chef du Mois also does three kinds of veggie smoothies, which are available in two sizes: 130ml (¥500) and 270ml (¥990).
