After an apprenticeship with Hans Zahner at the Royal Monceau and four years as sous chef for Thierry Marx, Mory Sacko, 28, signed up for Top Chef, became a household name and opened his first restaurant. African and Japanese inspirations produce dishes such as sole in banana leaf, turbot and plantain in Shito sauce, Yassa chicken, paradise pepper, creamed rice and yuzu followed by a warm chocolate ganache with smoked salt, or wasabi ice cream. Some dishes come with their own glass of saké.
