l'abeille à côté is Michelin starred l'abeille’s casual sibling restaurant serving a playful version of chef Mitsunobu Nagae's elegant French-Japanese fare. Shareable bites like Kyung’s Fried Chicken and Iberico Jamon Serrano with grilled eggplant ice cream as well as heartier selections such as Wagyu beef teriyaki burger and European seabass in a crispy “taiyaki” shell are a few menu delights. Desserts include a creative take on the classic mille feuille with charcoal grilled vanilla as well as an homage to one of chef Mitsu’s hometown favorites: soufflé cheesecake from Osaka, Japan. The wine list is a world tour of adventurous and classic wines featuring ten bottles each of sparkling, red and white wine selections from ten different countries.
