LATURE

First time. The “hunting menu” is exceptional every dish a miniature, beautifully presented, and great invention. The wine pairing is excellent and inventive too…but I would suggest an option with increased servings as the liquid volume is minimal. An evening to remember. And great value for money

Lature is a Michelin 1-star French restaurant in Tokyo which also has a green star. Online reservation is straightforward. According to the building directory, Lature occupies both the basement and 2/F, but there is no clear sign for the entrance(s). The 2/F dining room has a high ceiling. It is... minimally decorated and well-ventilated. Tables are set with much space in between. The 5-course set lunch Menu LATURE (JPY 8,096/person) is aesthetically plated, but food quality is rather inconsistent. The seafood dishes are the most unimpressive. While the Marinated Red Shell and Ground Cherry lack the natural freshness and sweetness, the Poired Saint Pierre Squid Ink Sauce is rough and tough. Highlights of the meal are the crispy Deer’s Blood Cookie and the juicy Roasted Venison with Seasonal Vegetables. The high rating online doesn’t reflect the poor service! Staff is green, inefficient, and unwelcoming! While they experienced difficulty in printing out the menu, their food introduction sounded like tape recordings. One of the servers actually dropped a knife next to my cousin’s leg; luckily no one was hurt.

Despite its Michelin 1-star rating and a 4.2 out of 5 on Tabelog, my visit left much to be desired. The overall dining experience fell short of expectations. The dishes at LATURE ranged from overly bland to excessively strong in taste, lacking the balance and finesse one would expect from a highly ...regarded establishment. It was disappointing that the kitchen seemed indifferent to how diners felt about their dishes. Whether it was a matter of personal preference or a genuine issue with the execution, the lack of attentiveness to customer satisfaction was disheartening. While it's true that taste preferences vary, it's essential for a restaurant of this caliber to prioritize customer feedback and adapt accordingly. It's regrettable that this level of attention to detail was not evident during my visit. Given the reputation and accolades, I had hoped for a more exceptional culinary experience. Unfortunately, LATURE did not meet those expectations, leaving a lasting impression of mediocrity. I believe there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of flavors, customer engagement, and overall execution.

Excellent! Creative, delicious, amazing. We selected venison main dish and meal was harmonized around venison and game. Very well done on every level.

This restaurant specialises in game dishes. The fixed chef's menu comprises many small courses, most of them including some form of game (on my first visit one of them was bear from Hokkaido). The cooking and presentation are exquisite. The atmosphere is refined but also friendly. The wine list ...is very good and the sommelier provides excellent advice.
