Tuna tartare is a popular dish that originated in French cuisine, known for its fresh and delicate flavors. The dish gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as part of the emergence of raw fish preparations in Western cuisine. Renowned chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Nobu Matsuhisa helped popularize tuna tartare in their respective restaurants, showcasing the dish's versatility and appeal.
