A temple to French fine dining at the luxurious Palace Hotel Tokyo, founded in partnership with Ducasse Paris, where Japan’s terroir is presented alongside haute cuisine techniques

Directly connected to Otemachi Station, Esterre is located on the 6th floor of Palace Hotel Tokyo and welcomes international clientele.

This French fine dining establishment utilizes the terroir (land and sea) of Japan to bring out the best of its seasonal ingredients. The restaurant was founded in partnership with Ducasse Paris, established by world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse. The luxurious dining room offers a commanding view of the Imperial Palace gardens and moats. Each table has a different view, and as the city lights up in the evening, Tokyo Tower glitters in the distance, as well as the lights of skyscrapers and buildings nearby.

The restaurant opened its doors in November 2019 to tell the story of the encounter of land and sea. Esterre welcomes Kei Kojima as new Chef de Cuisine, and Normand Jubin as new Chef Pâtissier from January 2023. Chef Kei is said to be the Japanese chef who understands and carries out Alain Ducasse's culinary philosophies better than any other chef in the world. Chef Kei has been the Executive Chef of "Beige Alain Ducasse Tokyo" since 2010. Chef Normand previously worked as a Chef Pâtissier at Pelagos at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens from 2010. Chef Normand delivers desserts with a sense of art and passion with abundant experience despite his young age. The new duo aims to produce an elevated level of French dining that showcases Japan’s unique terroir.

Chef Kei selects fresh vegetables by himself from Kamakura whrere he grew up, and make the most out of them to his cuisine. As for the wine list, an impressive collection of 600 bottles are available, from Champagne to red, rosé, white and dessert wines; there are about 17 varieties available by the glass and non-alcoholic sparkling wines on the menu.

Meaning ‘mother earth’ in the Occitan dialect spoken in the south west of France where Ducasse was born, guests are welcomed at the restaurant’s entrance by an impressive wooden sculpture symbolizing the blessings of the earth. Stylish black corridors, elegant wooden interiors and brushed metal fittings create a sense of warmth and luxury. The balance of cuisine and space created by a fusion of traditional Japanese and French crafts is designed to enhance the dining room’s sense of relaxation. Plates are made not only in France but also in Japan, and the hospitality that accompanies each meal is as much of a draw as the food itself.

The restaurent is fully equipped with well-appointed private rooms, and is suitable for business gatherings and receptions, not to mention for families, as children over 10 are welcomed.
