How to book Sézanne

Sézanne is a French restaurant on the seventh floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi. It opened in July 2021 with British chef Daniel Calvert in charge¹, and it is named after a town in Champagne². Under Calvert it was ranked No. 1 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2024 and No. 7 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants in 2025³, and the Michelin Guide gave it three stars in its 2025 Tokyo selection⁴.

Calvert left at the end of March 2026. The kitchen is now run by Stephen Lancaster, another British chef, who has cooked at Midsummer House in Cambridge and Oaxen Krog in Stockholm and opened Poise in Singapore^5,6. The hotel says he reworks French classics with modern technique, uses fermentation, ageing and pickling to build flavour, and keeps to Japanese seasonal produce⁵. Nicolas Maugard leads the pastry team⁶. After the change of chef, Michelin removed the stars and listed the restaurant again in May 2026 without a distinction until its next Tokyo selection⁷.

The food is served as tasting menus that change with the seasons and use ingredients from across Japan, and the restaurant says it cannot cater for strict dietary requirements⁸. In 2026 the 50 Best guide described a 12-course menu that mixes French cooking with nods to Asian food cultures¹. Hong Kong designer André Fu did the interiors. The main dining room looks into the open kitchen, with a champagne salon next to it⁹, and the 50 Best guide notes the night view over the city¹. Guests can also book a private Chef's Table room¹⁰.
