For one night only, ring in 2024 with Tokyo's top invite-only and World's 50 Best recognized French-Japanese restaurant with l'abeille in the heart of Tribeca!
To celebrate 2024, l'abeille invites chef Yosuke Suga of Tokyo's coveted, invite-only SUGALABO and his team of ten chefs to New York. SUGALABO is consistently ranked as a top 10 restaurant in Japan and only 20 lucky diners who have been introduced by regulars are able to dine at SUGALABO each night. The next available reservation at SUGALABO Tokyo is now in 2025!
SUGALABO, or "Suga's Lab", is chef Suga's venue to introduce his meticulous, produce-driven, and technically advanced dishes to diners. As a long-time Robuchon protégé - who our very own executive chef Mitsunobu Nagae trained with - and a one-time New Yorker as opening executive chef at L'Atelier at Four Seasons New York, chef Suga's cuisine is worldly and cosmopolitan, yet retains undeniable Japanese roots and heavily utilizes French techniques.
Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy a 13-course menu with chef Suga's signature dishes, including his famous curry rice (only served during the second seating) made with rice specially grown for SUGALABO, alongside chef Mitsu's favorites this New Year's Eve.
