The story
At ESTERRE by Alain Ducasse, the celebrated chef’s vision comes to life in Tokyo’s Palace Hotel. The restaurant brings a refined French sensibility to the heart of Marunouchi, offering a dining experience that balances precision with warmth. Its Michelin One Star recognition speaks to the consistent high quality of the cooking.
Located on the sixth floor of the Palace Hotel Tokyo, ESTERRE occupies a space designed for quiet elegance. The interior reflects the hotel’s brand concept of “the finest Japan” — understated, sophisticated, and welcoming. Guests can expect a seamless fusion of French culinary technique and Japanese attention to detail.
While the website offers no specific menu details, the cuisine here is classic French, prepared with the rigor and creativity expected of a Ducasse establishment. The restaurant is part of a larger hotel dining collection that includes Japanese, tempura, teppanyaki, and Chinese options, but ESTERRE stands out for its Gallic identity. Whether for a business lunch or a celebratory dinner, it delivers a polished, memorable meal.
