Our addresses in Fontainebleau, opened by the chef Kunihisa Goto
L’Axel can be found at 43 Rue de France. You’ll find L’A Pâtisserie KG next door, at 41 Rue de France, and Fuumi at 39 Rue de France; all three were opened by Kunihisa Goto and Vanessa Blondeau, long-standing partners.
A culinary journey to the land of the Rising Sun
The charmingly named Fuumi, which means “sense of flavour” in Japanese, is a Japanese brasserie which is inspired by enduring respect for the archipelago’s recipes and ingredients. Diners will be fascinated by the traditional teppanyaki which takes centre stage in the restaurant’s dining room. Behind this impressive grill, the chef creates delicious Asian dishes, including okonomyaki, tori no, kamo to onsen and Wagyu beef.
Diners can also try traditional gyoza and ramen, eaten with chopsticks. Let us take you on a delicious journey which is sure to stimulate your senses. With a wide-ranging selection of incredible Japanese whisky, saké and sochu and the famous Kirin draught beer, you’re sure to be transported.
Savour traditional Japanese dishes with an authentic French twist and enjoy an exotic dining experience in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
A pâtisserie which shares L’Axel’s concept
The latest addition to the addresses managed by Vanessa Blondeau and Kunihisa Goto, L’A Pâtisserie KG has become a firm favourite with locals in Fontainebleau for its delicious pastries. Although it might not be obvious to all, just like L’Axel, this pâtisserie revisits traditional French recipes by adding subtle touches of Japanese flavours. Deliciously inventive desserts are produced in its culinary laboratory, including the Paris-Tokyo, an original and surprising take on the traditional Paris-Brest pastry. Masterclasses on the art of dessert-making are held here because the chef is a firm believer in the importance of passing on knowledge.
“When I think of my pastries, I think of joy and smiling faces” Kunihisa Goto.
