"This is the gourmet’s choice, with its French Ciel Bleu restaurant having two Michelin stars, the Yamazato with one Michelin star and also the Teppanyaki restaurant Sazanka, where food is grilled at your table"

"The recently renovated Yamazato restaurant is the only traditional Japanese kaiseki restaurant in Europe to have a Michelin star; the other offers a teppanyaki table and sushi bar with a Michelin star of its own"
