Blancharu’s new head chef Masahiko Yomoda is one of the hottest culinary characters on the block. His 2008 appearance on celebrated cook-off Iron Chef made him a cult figure amongst foodies while his tenure as head chef at Restaurant Arbace garnered him the accolades of the establishment when he was awarded a coveted Michelin Star. His career has seen him wave his whisk in leading restaurants across France and Japan, where he perfected the artistry of those nation’s iconic cuisines.

In his new role as head chef of Blancharu, Masahiko Yomoda has finally taken the opportunity to pursue his dream of creating a singular fusion of French and Japanese, a synthesis of flavours that is bound to become this chef’s legacy.

 I love Blancharu. The atmosphere and the food is fantastic. It's chic, elegant and relaxed and I could not fault the dishes at all.
