Esterre is a French fine dining establishment located on the 6th floor of the luxurious Palace Hotel Tokyo, directly connected to Otemachi Station. The restaurant was founded in partnership with Ducasse Paris, a world-renowned chef in the gastronomic world. Esterre utilizes the terroir of Japan to bring out the best in seasonal ingredients while applying French culinary techniques to their preparation. The restaurant offers a commanding view of the Imperial Palace gardens and moats, with each table having a different view.
The restaurant opened in November 2019 and is a one-star restaurant in the 'Michelin Guide Tokyo 2023.' The cuisine is a fusion of French and Japanese, with the accent on seafood and Kamakura vegetables. The chef, Kei Kojima, studied under Ducasse and creates a healthful, aesthetically pleasing fusion of these two cuisines. The restaurant uses local sourcing, in line with Ducasse's philosophy of uncovering high-quality ingredients in a given destination and applying French culinary techniques to their preparation.
Esterre's dining room offers a sense of warmth and luxury with stylish black corridors, elegant wooden interiors, and brushed metal fittings. Each plate is made not only in France but also in Japan, and the hospitality that accompanies each meal is just as important as the food itself. The restaurant is fully equipped with well-appointed private rooms, making it suitable for business gatherings and receptions, and is also welcoming to families with children over 10.
