Chez Inno: Michelin-Recommended French Cuisine in Tokyo's Kyobashi

Tradition and Warmth at Chez Inno

In Tokyo's Kyobashi district, steps from the Ginza Line and a short walk from Tokyo Station, Chez Inno has been a quiet presence for French cuisine lovers. The restaurant's approach is grounded in a simple idea: every guest who arrives deserves gratitude. This philosophy, articulated by president Kenji Ito, shapes the entire experience—from the welcome to the final goodbye.

A Legacy of French Dining

Chez Inno carries forward the vision of founder Asahi Inoue, a chef who spent his career exploring the future of French cuisine while honoring its roots. Today, executive chef KOGA continues that pursuit, working with carefully selected ingredients to create dishes that balance tradition with a sense of freshness. The restaurant's motto—"the history of Chez Inno is made together with our guests"—reflects a deep respect for the people who dine here. The team believes that some things should change with the times, but the core values of quality and care must remain.

Recognition Rooted in Service

The restaurant's dedication to hospitality has earned notable recognition. In 2026, Chez Inno received the Best Service Hospitality award from Gault&Millau and was also listed as Michelin Recommended. These honors speak to the team's daily effort to ensure that every guest leaves feeling that their visit was worthwhile. The wine list, described as interesting and well-curated, is a natural partner to the French menu.

An Atmosphere of Care

The dining room is arranged with ample space between tables, and ozone air purifiers run continuously—a sign of the restaurant's attention to comfort and safety. Service is attentive without being intrusive. Guests are invited to dress smartly; the restaurant requests no T-shirts, ripped jeans, or sandals. Lunch and dinner are served in a setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. Private parties can also be arranged.

The Smile That Defines the House

The team at Chez Inno lives by what they call the three S's: the desire to see smiles, to share smiles, and to bring smiles to those yet to come. They aim to make every day the best it can be—"daily is the ultimate." It is this spirit, combined with a deep respect for French culinary tradition, that makes Chez Inno a place worth returning to.
