La Maison de Graciani Kobe Kitano

A French restaurant housed in the elegant two-story wooden Former Graciani Residence, built in 1909. Known as the “White Mansion,” the pure white exterior combines the refined style of its original construction with a modern touch, creating a soothing atmosphere. Within this classical setting, guests can enjoy innovative French cuisine that respects tradition while embracing creativity.

Both lunch and dinner are served exclusively as courses. Ingredients are carefully selected, with a focus on the rich bounty of Hyogo Prefecture, complemented by the finest produce from across Japan. The chef transforms these meticulously chosen ingredients into exquisite dishes, drawing on refined skills and a keen sense of artistry. The wine list is equally impressive, featuring nearly ten varieties of wine by the glass at any given time, and staff can propose a tailored wine pairing course on the spot.

The restaurant is also praised for its welcoming and attentive service, characteristic of a fine dining establishment. Designated and protected as a traditional cultural property, this modern Ijinkan offers a truly extraordinary dining experience in an atmospheric historic setting.
