About this Restaurant
L'API is an exquisite Italian restaurant located on a scenic hilltop in Iyo, offering stunning ocean and night views. Known for its completely reservation-based dining, it was selected as a Tabelog Italian WEST Top 100 restaurant in 2025. Chef Miyagawa masterfully utilizes seasonal and local Ehime ingredients, especially fresh seafood from Nanyo and citrus from Iyo, to create innovative and evolving Italian dishes. Guests frequently praise the beautiful atmosphere, the quality of the food (with mentions of unique dishes like sardine and tomato pasta or horse mackerel carpaccio), and the excellent wine and tea pairings. It's considered a hidden gem, perfect for a special and memorable dining experience, despite requiring car or taxi access.
