At Izariya the chef’s task is not only to cook in the kitchen. When serving the meals our chefs should communicate with their guests. Preparing meals is not a mechanical process. We serve our guests wholeheartedly meals that will delight them. At the counter two of our chefs attend our guests directly, and another stays at the dining hall also.


We would love you to enjoy staying at our restaurant, or to enjoy just coming to Izariya, in addition to enjoying our cuisine. We would be very happy to serve you to create through a cuisine a place that delights you. “Taste and Smile”: That is the Izariya’s style.
