Ryota Kappou Modern: restaurant review

Michelin-starred Ryota Kappou Modern makes a strong case for the prevailing trend of Japanese-French fusion, with head chef Ryota Kanesawa marrying Japanese ingredients and European techniques to stunning effect. The culinary creativity of the ex-Zuma chef is on full display in a border-defying menu, with dishes rotating to keep regulars engaged.

Relaxed decor keeps any formality at bay – think designer furniture in shades of mustard and sea green, natural wood, and pops of foliage evoking a chic living room.

Savour signatures such as the Wagyu sukiyaki or uni “bowl of wonders” for lunch, or book at the tasting counter for the full kappo experience.
