[3/7-6/8] DINNER MENU 2025 Dominique Bouchet Kyoto "Le RESTAURANT" (French)
"Monet's Water Lilies" Collaboration Course ~ The dining table of the gourmet Monet's beloved Villa Giverny ~
Giverny is a small, picturesque village located near a tributary of the Seine, an hour by train from Paris, and is home to a mansion and water garden brimming with Japanese atmosphere that Monet himself discovered, planned and created.
Monet loved gardening, so the dishes made with the vegetables and herbs he had painstakingly grown were prepared in a blue kitchen reminiscent of hydrangeas, and served to a small dining table in a yellow dining room reminiscent of a mimosa in full bloom. These sunny, happiness-filled dishes, which would have been the driving force behind the completion of his masterpiece Water Lilies in his later years, are arranged in Dominique Bouchet's style and served to you. Enjoy colorful dishes as colorful as the palettes of impressionist painters.

Scallop mousse with lotus motif and lobster jelly
Water lilies float gracefully in the clear blue pond of the Giverny garden. Chef Sako was fascinated and inspired by the water lilies, which are painted in such a way that you can almost feel their breath, and this creation is by Chef Sako. The mirror-like water surface is expressed with lobster jelly, Chef Dominique's specialty, and the water lilies are made to bloom with scallop mousse, onion, and lily root. The gold leaf gently placed on the water lilies creates a dish that evokes the soft sunlight and gentle breeze of spring in Giverny.
Garlic soup
A recipe book discovered in the kitchen of Monet's Giverny estate contained many recipes for soup, and it is said that Monet was particularly fond of nutritious garlic soup. This recipe uses simple ingredients such as garlic, eggs, croutons, and parsley, but has been modified by adding tomatoes. One sip of this soup will warm you up, and it's exciting to think that it was a dish that supported Monet's creative energy.
Sole Normandy style
Normandy was a region loved by Monet, who lived his whole life by the Seine. This dish expresses the region's rich food culture and the bounty of the sea. Fresh sole is carefully steamed and finished with a creamy sauce made with a generous amount of cider and Calvados, Normandy's representative specialties, and is accompanied by mussels, clams, and langoustines. Enjoy this dish with a strong salty aroma, as if you were eating at a seaside restaurant.
Gateau Vert Vert
This is a typical Monet sweet, created in the changing light and air outdoors, skillfully depicting the vitality of plants. Vert is French for "green". Vert Vert means "all green", and uses pistachios and spinach to express a garden filled with fresh greenery. This sweet, whose appearance and taste change drastically depending on the amount of each ingredient, was born after repeated trial and error.
Petit Sale 3 kinds including mushroom gratin
Roast chicken with chasseur sauce and farm-style carrots
