Âpé Yakitori Bar attempts to provide authenticity to a standardised, early 2000’s tenancy shell, a prevalent and often challenging typology that today dominates our cities.

Yakitori, literally translated as grilled bird, remains one of the most traditional and efficient practices of cooking. Each individual part of the chicken, or animal, or vegetable (in its modern interpretation) is utilised, from the heart to the thigh, liver and neck. It is the act of deconstruction to base constituent parts without wastage.
