The menu is seasonal. Before making plans around a particular dish, check the latest menu and speak with our team. The examples below reflect the menu displayed on our website on 20 October 2026.
Reading the experience through the menu
Akaiito Beef Tartare is listed with potato gratin and yuzu emulsion. It brings together beef tartare, the layered richness of potato gratin and a yuzu emulsion.
Further through the current menu, Patagonian Toothfish is paired with white zucchini, diamond clams and beurre blanc. Beef Pithivier appears with mushroom duxelles, silver spinach, jus and cream. These dishes help describe Akaiito in concrete terms: the menu connects Japanese ingredients and flavours with recognisable French preparations.
