Just had an amazing dinner at Cocon. This is a french/australian restaurant in Naka-meguro ran only by the chef himself and it’s amazing to see him in action. The restaurant is tucked away in the 4th floor of this small building and has great ambiance, with a huge counter where the chef also plates the dishes and where six guests comfortably sit.
Honestly every dish was a banger for me, so nice to see the combination of different techniques and ingredients in a creative and delicious way (like the grilled unagi with meat glace and mashed potatoes or the crab with onion cream and sakura leaves). I really think that chef found a sweet spot between inovation and creativity while still getting all that the ingredients may offer.
I would definitely go back when in Tokyo and would recommend this to friends as well as the pricing is quite reasonable. Booking was easy via Tabelog.
