The Yoshi is situated in the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo. It opened in December 2008 and serves contemporary Japanese food, reinterpreted by Joël ROBUCHON, the chef with the most Michelin stars in the world – he now has 26 stars in the Michelin Guide. The interior was designed by Didier Gomez and reflects Joël ROBUCHON’s poetic, modern view of Japan.

“I’m very happy to share this success with everyone at Yoshi and with the team at the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo,” stated Joël ROBUCHON. “I am proud of the work they have done in the past fifteen months. They have achieved the extremely high standards that I set when we first started working together.”

In 2006, Christophe CUSSAC, Executive Chef of the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo and his team were rewarded with a first star for the Restaurant Joël ROBUCHON Monte-Carlo, followed by a second in 2007. This luxury Monegasque hotel therefore has a total of three stars in the Guide Michelin (France) for its cuisine, which is entirely conceived by Joël ROBUCHON.

Under the aegis of Christophe CUSSAC, Japanese chef Takeo Yamazaki creates typically Japanese dishes with a modern twist. His inventive menu is based on traditional ingredients and brings out the subtle flavors of his native Japan.

Takeo Yamazaki studied with Joël ROBUCHON for 14 years in Robuchon’s first restaurant in Japan, the Château Robuchon in Tokyo. After a year in Monaco, Chef Yamazaki rejoined Joël ROBUCHON in the Japanese capital for the opening of L'Atelier.

He has been in charge of the team at Yoshi since it opened.

The dining area of the restaurant is very intimate, with 35 covers. It opens onto a Japanese-style garden, which was designed by landscape designer Jacques MESSIN. Messin worked closely with Didier Gomez to create a transitional area between the interior and the exterior, which contrasts harmoniously with the urban environment around it.

Joël ROBUCHON was hailed as the “Cook of the Century” by Gault Millau in 1990. His first Parisian restaurant was elected “Best Restaurant in the World” by the International Herald Tribune in 1994. He is now head of 17 restaurants world-wide, for example in Hong Kong, Las Vegas, London, Macao, Monaco, New York, Tokyo and Taipei. In 2003, Joël ROBUCHON launched the concept of L’Atelier (the Workshop), which was so successful that he went on to open branches internationally.

Yoshi is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 12.15 pm to 2 pm for lunch and from 7.30 pm to 10.30 pm for dinner. Chef Takeo Yamazaki offers a selection of “Bento” menus at lunchtime from 29€, as well as an à la carte menu and taster menus.

Joel Robuchon is a man of fashion. And the fashion of the moment is called Japanese food. Yoshi is the first Joel Robuchon’s Japanese restaurant in the world. It was opened in Metropole hotel in Monaco where there is one Robuchon’s restaurant already. The chef in the kitchen is 39 nine year old chef from Japan Takeo Yamazaki, while Joel Robuchon does the guidance.

Robuchon creates innovative, delicious cooking and spotless perfection. He also sets high standard and has strong values. There is no toro in Yoshi, Robuchon believes strongly in support of Monaco’s ban on the endangered blue-fin tuna from its shops and restaurants which is a good thing of course. The standard of the quality of sashimi at Yoshi is very high, undoubtedly, some of the best quality raw fish in France.

Polyphony’s Gran Turismo games tread the line between fantasy and reality with the balance of a trapeze artist. Not only are the games themselves a close approximation of reality, but once in a while, reality jumps out of the digital world and into the tangible.

A couple of years ago the game’s creators worked with the French automaker to give birth to the GTbyCitroën – a supercar designed specifically for the game. But then they made it into a concept car and put it on display. And while it never came to be, they even considered a limited production run.

The latest collaboration brought the recently-crowned world champion Red Bull Racing team on board for the X1 prototype. Again, an extreme high-performance vehicle designed specifically for the game – this time a vision of what an F1 car could be if not for all the pesky regulations. Initial reports that the car is powered by a turbine engine are now being corrected to an F1-derived, direct-injection, twin-turbo V6. Fortunately, the 1483-horsepower output remains.

Actually building the X1 into a functioning track car would be a little pointless and undoubtedly extremely expensive, but they have made a full-size mock-up that will be unveiled during the game’s launch party, scheduled (don’t hold your breath) for Madrid in a few weeks’ time. Here’s hoping GT5 can follow that same fantasy-to-reality trajectory and land in our hands on (the revised and revised again) schedule.

The Cosmo Sport (110S) – the world’s first dual-rotor rotary engine production car – was officially launched on May 30th of 1967.

This particular 1967 Cosmo Sport 110S L-110A model is owned by Mazda North American Operations, based in Irvine, California. Records show only two 1967 Cosmos were exported to the United States, this one being registered to Curtiss-Wright Corporation, the North American rights-holder of the Wankel rotary engine, until February 1984 (Mazda was the Asian rights-holder for the use of the engine in motor vehicles). It subsequently changed hands three more times before coming back ‘home’ to Mazda. The odometer reading is original and correct at a little over 11,000 km.

Mercedes Benz showed off its new Fascination concept car at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It was a fastback or shooting brake styled coupe with the roofline staying high like an estate giving very generous space in the back of the car.

In reality the Fascination concept previewed the forthcoming new e-class range, having the identical front end to the production cars, and rear styling close to that of the estate, and in being a coupe itself also hinted that Mercedes would release a new E-class coupe too, which they inevitably did.

The concept car used a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder diesel engine with twin turbochargers to push power to 204 horsepower whilst keeping very low emissions.
