Incredibile good fish dishes with a great Japanese inspiration. (Wasabi root grated on sharkskin, anyone?)
We had the non-alcoholic drinks to match and were blown away by the tastes (bell pepper and mandarin juice?!)
The price isn't cheap but honest. The young staff is super friendly and welcoming. I know I'm going back.

If you are looking for sophistication, this is surelly the place to be.

We got the tasting menu with 4 matching wines. Food was just fantastic; we loved the asian influence and we do appreciate the level of research that must have gone into each of the dishes; it was surelly a nice and tasty experience.

I am not a wine expert, but I've subjectively found some of the matchings a little too adventurous.

Service has been great throughout the night; I communicated to them that it was our 10th year wedding anniversary, and even though I was pleased to have found an hand written card on the table, I expected a bit more effort...

The restaurant ambient felt very warm and cosy. It has been a pleasant night, so I would definitively recommend it.

Rizoom is one of the rare places I have to look beyond what I like, and judge it 5/5.
This restaurant puts forward a minimalistic and subtle menu, clearly doused in expertise and eye for detail.
What makes it the perfect place is the combination of carefully perfected elements:
Service is skilled and trained, as here, for the first time in a long time, I actually listened to their explanation of what was in front of me and how it was prepared. More often than not I drift away during these types of explanations, that are often drilled into the staff. Not so at Rizoom, every person approaching the table seemed to have grasped the dishes and their reasons perfectly.
Same goes for the sommelier, who had a fun fact or insight to tell about every single wine or farm the wine originated from. Never once sounding rehearsed or droning on.
Water was refilled in the spot, napkins replaced whenever necessary, all needs were seen to. When I made the slightest move to ask for attention, someone would pop up straight away without feeling stiff of stand-off ish.
I think they have nailed this kind of establishment, perfected it.
Now, as for my tastes, it wasn’t completely my thing. The dishes are exquisite and super subtle, the ingredients seem very pure, it just lacked the (maybe more crude) punch I like in food. Maybe it is the profound Japanese background the cuisine is based upon that maybe isn’t my thing, but when the dishes did pack intense flavours -as some did-, they didn’t sit well with me.
However, I feel that is my “fault”, and it does not reflect on the amazing skill and experience the people at Rizoom display.
