The story

Le Musée, Sapporo: French Cuisine by Chef Makoto Ishii, Gault&Millau 17

Le Musée is a French restaurant at Residence Miyanomori 1 Jo 14-3-20, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, rated 17 by Gault&Millau in 2026. Chef Makoto Ishii opened it in 2005.

Hokkaido as the motif

Ishii travelled alone through France, Italy and Spain in 1995, and the island's nature became the subject of his French cooking. Fields, forest, sea, morning frost and drift ice are drawn on the plate across the seasons. He calls the restaurant his atelier, a place where food and art live together. A 2020 renewal turned it into a space for painting, ceramics and cooking alike.

Two menus
