Astrance takes reservations and closes Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Book Tuesday-Friday for guaranteed availability.
Only tasting menus are offered—no à la carte. The surprise menu format means you don't choose dishes; the chef does based on market quality that day.
For one-star Michelin, Astrance is reasonably priced compared to higher-starred alternatives. The seasonal, market-driven approach keeps quality high and value good.
Visit in spring (April-June) or summer (July-August) when produce variety is widest. Winter menus are still excellent but more focused due to limited market options.
