noura （ノウラ）

Tucked quietly behind Hommage, a Michelin two-starred restaurant renowned for its consistent excellence, stands the bistro noura. The name "noura" carries the meaning of “reverse” or “hidden,” and as its name suggests, it offers a humble and approachable contrast to the refined artistry of Hommage. Chef Yoshio Matsumoto, a seasoned talent, honed his skills in some of France’s most celebrated kitchens—including two-starred establishments such as Michel Trama and Jacques Chibois, as well as Auberge du Claux des Cimes (now led by Régis and Jacques Marcon), and the one-starred Jacques Decoret.

In contrast to the creative and expressive cuisine of Hommage, noura focuses on faithfully prepared, heartwarming dishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort. Guests can enjoy a variety of authentic French bistro fare crafted with precision and care—from classic onion gratin soup and fish quenelles to duck confit and the beloved national favorite, steak frites. Each dish celebrates the traditional flavors of regional French cooking.

Seasonal ingredients are used generously, with great care taken to highlight their natural character. While grounded in the fundamentals of classical French technique, Chef Matsumoto weaves in the subtle sensibilities of Japanese aesthetics to create plates that offer fresh discoveries and delight with every bite.

We invite you to relax and enjoy a meal that feels both familiar and special. Let noura bring the essence of everyday French dining into a moment of quiet joy.
