Oft-overlooked Osaka should truly not be missed. With big-city excitement and small-town warmth, we love it more and more every time we go.
The vibe is so warm, whether this is due to its dimly-lit open space, or for it's ever-so welcoming waiters. This bistro is the perfect spot to pop in for a drink alone, or come with the family for a dinner. Try the signature quiche (it's flaky, oh so buttery pastry has us hooked) alongside a good glass of vino!
Though the interiors are paired back, minimalist, and ever-so-simple, the food is anything but. In an experience where cameras are forbidden, Hajime is a restaurant as iconic as it gets. Perhaps best renown for the dish 'Planet Earth', this place is beyond sensational. Save it for that special occasion.
With only eight seats and two sittings, KAHALA is intimate and so world-renowned it's essential to book well in advance. Chef Yoshifumi Mori iconically blends Japanese tradition with an ode to French cuisine; the flavours are unimaginable, the presentation just phenomenal. A man of many talents, even the crockery you dine on is handcrafted by Mori.
The space is excellent. The food even more so. Chef Yusuke Takada serves up food that is nothing but exquisite, and almost too pretty to eat! Fusing together French cuisine with Japanese style and ingredients, a trip to La Cime is certainly going to be special.
