Situated in the heart of Petite France with its attractive half-timbered houses, this restaurant combines flavours from near and far. Its name suggests as much: umami is the fifth flavour in Japanese cuisine, alongside sweet, sour, bitter and salty. Chef René Fieger’s travels have had a major influence on his cuisine, which is solidly rooted in classic traditions. This mouth-watering experience is all the more remarkable when you know that the chef is entirely alone in the kitchen, conjuring up dishes to delight his 16 guests. Highlights include slices of Black Angus beef accompanied by a potato pancake, shiitake mushrooms spiced with garlic, superb glazed sand carrots, and a creamy, powerful miso sauce with an almost coffee-like aroma. Unanimous approval for Umami!
