Hatori sur Beaune

27/05/2026: It is a small restaurant that makes you very curious because of a Japanese chef, so expectations are high. They are very accommodating regarding bringing small dogs, which gives a nice feeling. The menu was quite limited, contrary to the online photos (no maki rolls), but that is not a problem if everything is of high quality and very tasty. We are seasoned sushi eaters and therefore have our own standards. Here, we felt that (apart from the high temperatures outside) the chef was actually no longer functioning as he used to. Of course, fresh ingredients and prepared according to Japanese standards and values, but the restaurant is probably not what it used to be. With a bottle of wine costing at least €50, you now end up spending around €200 for two people. For this, we had a small but good sashimi (4 x 2 thin slices), 8 nigiri sushi with a variety of salmon, white fish, tuna, and "fatty" tuna, and salmon tataki which was very tasty. Unfortunately, a considerable amount was added for extra charges, and in our view, the "value menu" system of 1, 2, 3, or 4 starters and one or two main courses "for so much" no longer works with all the extra charges. All in all, we felt we had paid too much for well-prepared Japanese food, partly due to the €7 bottle of water...

27/05/2026: Small Japanese restaurant. Spent €200,- for 2p. on sushi, small portion of sashimi, salmon tataki, water, wine & ice cream. Portions minimal, taste very nice, water €7,-, wine under €40,- you won’t find…but up to €2.350,-. Travelled the world and experienced, but think this is extremely overpriced.
