Sushi, broths and a composed meal
The meal combines Japanese kaiseki-sushi traditions with seafood from the French and Atlantic coasts. The operator describes dashi and broths alongside fish such as sea bream, squid and bluefin tuna, with sake and tea among the drinks.
Watanabe’s sushi, Donckele’s sauces and Frédéric’s desserts make this a composed gastronomic meal. The setting uses dark walnut and other woods, with a stone-and-bamboo fountain at the entrance.

Dinner, children and arrival time
Hakuba opens for dinner Tuesday to Saturday. The reservation page describes an experience of approximately three hours and booking four months in advance. Children are welcome on the same menu as their accompanying adults; pets are excluded.
The restaurant page says arrivals after the reserved time are not accepted. The booking page instead says a delay over 15 minutes prevents service of the complete menu. Plan to arrive by the reservation time and settle any exception directly with the restaurant.
