Remy Grenard, is Fukuokaβs first foreign yatai owner serving dishes youβd likely find in a French bistro β the escargots (snail) are said to be popular there. Remy has been living in Japan for 18 years and in this time had also previously owned a restaurant and bakery in Fukuoka.
Yatai became such a popular tourist attraction that in 2016 a competition was held to award new yatai licenses for the first time in two decades. 108 applications were received and Remy miraculously made it through! His energetic personality has made him a popular local figure and attracts both Japanese and non-Japanese visitors.
Chez Remy particularly excels in the vegetarian department – you will find that many yatai tend to have lackluster vegetarian offerings, which limits the yatai experience for those who do not eat meat.
