A limited-time dinner course where you can savor black truffles, also known as the "black diamond"

To fully enjoy their noble fragrance and seasonal flavor, we have prepared a limited-time dinner course in which five of the six dishes use black truffles.

What is Tour d'Argent?


A history that began like a fairy tale. Approximately 400 years ago, an inn located on the Île Saint-Louis on the Seine River in the heart of Paris named its inn "Tour d'Argent" (Silver Tower) after the glittering silver mica-adorned Château de Tournelle, which could be seen from the inn's location. This is the origin of Tour d'Argent, a restaurant that has remained in the history of French culinary culture, frequented by King Henri III and many aristocrats. Why not enjoy a dinner filled with the captivating aroma of black truffles at Tour d'Argent Tokyo, the only branch in the world where this long history lives on?
