l’abeille, under the helm of Executive Chef Mitsunobu Nagae and located in Tribeca, holds a Michelin star and is celebrated for its fusion of traditional Japanese dishes with a global French fine dining influence. The restaurant’s focus on select ingredients delivers an intimate and sophisticated tasting menu. Adding to this blend, Chef Yosuke Suga from Sugalabo introduces his unique approach, incorporating rare ingredients into dishes that captivate the palates of those fortunate enough to experience this hidden gem in Tokyo.
“It is an honour to come together with these chefs and bring a new dining experience directly to guests visiting our vibrant city and staying at Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown,” says Chef Mistunobu Nagae, Executive Chef and Owner, l’abeille. “The menu we are bringing to guests is a seamless blend of each of our backgrounds and techniques – comforting and sophisticated. I am proud to bring the exclusive l’abeille x Sugalabo experience in-room to guests.”
Chef Maria Tampakis, alongside these distinguished chefs, will reinterpret three iconic dishes, offering hotel guests the luxury of savoring these culinary masterpieces from the comfort of their elegant rooms. The menu features crispy scallops with sunchoke velouté, a wagyu teriyaki burger, and a dessert of fresh fish and pistachio beignets served with tartar sauce.
