How to book
Booking this restaurant requires advance planning. Typical lead time is one to three months — for the rarest seats, six months. Many restaurants of this difficulty release the next month's bookings on the first of the prior month; being in the queue the moment that window opens dramatically increases your chance of catching a difficult seat.
No English-language booking platform currently covers this restaurant; an international hotel concierge can place the reservation on your behalf. Flexibility on the date — especially weekday lunch — opens up substantially more options than a fixed Saturday-dinner request.
