The story
Inside the Conrad Rabat Arzana, 99 Sushi Bar anchors its presence on Plage Val d'Or with a commitment to contemporary Japanese cooking that balances precision with seasonal innovation. The kitchen delivers a rigorous yet approachable interpretation of Japanese cuisine, earning a 13.5 from Gault & Millau for its mastery of texture and flavor harmony. Diners encounter precise makis where textures align perfectly, alongside sashimi selections presented on crushed ice to highlight the purity of the catch. Seasonal ingredients drive the menu, allowing rare elements like white truffle and fresh sea urchin to appear when their quality peaks.
Signature creations reveal a flair for complex pairings without losing clarity. The black cod au gratin features two layers of red miso, creating a savory depth that complements the fish's richness. A filet of beef grilled on volcanic rock arrives with a béarnaise infused with ponzu, bridging Japanese flavors with classic technique. For those seeking raw elegance, the scallops grilled with mentaiko and ume sauce offer a bright counterpoint.
Large openings frame the Atlantic Ocean, reinforcing a sense of escape within a space defined by sober materials and integrated vegetation. The design draws on Japanese aesthetics to create a serene environment where comfort meets refinement. Service operates with fluid attention, guiding guests through the extensive wine list of over 300 references. Every element supports a dining experience focused on calm appreciation of the food.
