💡 Tips before you go
- Reservations are mandatory and open only 1-2 months ahead via the official website or authorized agents.
- Dress conservatively and politely as this is a formal fine-dining establishment where casual attire may be frowned upon.
- The tasting menu is fixed, so arrive exactly at your reservation time to ensure you receive your full course selection.
