To be able to have food like this at this price!? There were 4 of us, and we had the B course for 5500円. In a prix fixe format, each of us could choose an appetizer, (the fish was a fixed dish), a meat dish, cheese (several kinds each), and dessert. Even though the chef was working alone, everyone's freshly cooked dishes arrived at the same time, like magic. Each dish was like a work of art, more generous than expected, full of love down to every detail, and truly delicious. We happily enjoyed wine we'd brought ourselves (separate corkage fee of 1800円/1 bottle), and after-meal drinks were included too. It's great for bringing your parents, getting together with female friends, or celebrating an anniversary as a couple or married pair. We all loved it so much that we honestly wanted to keep it a secret! But with the sole wish that it continues unchanged for a long time, here's an honestly glowing review. The menu seems to change every few months too. I'd like to visit regularly.
View on GoogleA friend made a reservation for our meal together. We had the 2500円 lunch course, and I was completely satisfied with both its appearance and taste. The sauces suited each dish, bringing out the ingredients' flavors beautifully. It wasn't very elegant of me, but I mopped up every bit of sauce with bread. The dessert was also delicious, with an exquisite combination of ingredients. In terms of value, this is the best of all the restaurants where I've had meals with others.
View on GoogleYou can enjoy proper French cuisine at an astonishing price. The tableware is high quality too. Wonderful. Perhaps the price is possible because the chef runs almost everything alone? Even so, delicious, beautiful dishes appear one after another like magic. The interior feels old, but you can spend a relaxed time here.
View on GoogleSo this is what a hidden gem is◎Come with 1450円 clutched in your hand◎May this reach you Visited for lunch on a weekday Exploring around Tameike for somewhere to have lunch Wandering along the street with the famous tonkatsu restaurant まさむね As always, there's a line at まさむね It's common knowledge around here that you can roughly gauge Akasaka office workers' attendance from the length of the line at まさむね TODAY IS MONDAY It looked like lots of people were working remotely today This street has quite a good lunch selection 金子屋 with its queues, 鳥酎 with fantastic value, 烹月&白金屋 with delicious grilled fish—a whole lineup of popular lunch places, practically Cat Street While thinking I might be in the mood for Japanese food, I spotted a sign at the bottom of the stairs of a nearby building “French restaurant, lunch” Oh! French food is unusual around here! And it looks like I can go without a reservation Switching my lunch mood to French, rhyming like 韻踏合組合♩ With excitement on par with finding a street-level VISVIM store for the first time, I went up the stairs and entered Although the interior is classic, it also has a familiar atmosphere that puts me at ease in all sorts of ways You could probably just about get away with ウーフォス◎ The layout is rectangular, with table seating only Looking around while wondering how to draw a diagonal across the room, I saw it was about 7 tenths full There were a few solo diners, but some very high-context women's get-togethers were also underway An Asian female staff member showed me to my seat She seemed still unfamiliar with Japanese, but was trying hard, and personally it didn't bother me that much As someone who's shaky even in his native language, just seeing her working properly in a foreign country makes me want to give her 15 likes The menu lets you choose from プラドジュール or MenuA or MenuB プラドジュール means “today's recommended dish,” so I chose that Always grateful to my parents and Larry Page Here's what I ordered this time⬇️ ⬛︎ プラドジュール 1450円 (amuse-gueule + main dish + coffee) Wait, the main dish for プラドジュール is a prix fixe choice from the following: ・Black sea bream poêlé ・Cocotte-roasted 大山鶏 thigh ・Beef bavette steak Isn't 1450円 for this an absolute bargain?!?! You usually expect steak to have a surcharge, right?? I normally always eat chicken in situations like this, but this time I'm Judas the betrayer I converted and ordered the beef bavette steak After ordering, I wondered, what is bavette? I Larry Paged it, and apparently it's kainomi Wait, a rare cut? Are their ingredient costs okay?? Back to the subject First came a mousse as the amuse-gueule Even the plate was stylish, and perhaps its blue color matched the cold appetizer; looking at it calmed my heart rate too I forgot to ask the dish's name, but judging by other people's reviews, it seems to be shrimp and carrot mousse For a moment I thought the mousse might be uni, and went, “Shrimp and uni!? Luxurious! Delicious!!” but it was carrot. Thank you very much indeed But it wasn't just a placebo effect, it was smooth and pleasant on the tongue, and delicious together with the shrimp's texture The flavor is strong despite its refreshing appearance. a.k.a. a cabbage-roll-type guy Next came the main, the bavette steak Whoa!? It looks insane already... Even ケイニー would be surprised, and it looked about 250 grams, so there was plenty of it Just this once, I wanted Masato Sakai's ability in ヴィヴィアン The sides were mashed potatoes and grilled bamboo shoots The meat was topped with arugula and herb salt too, with excellent balance As mentioned earlier, it's apparently kainomi, so cutting it with a knife takes a little force That means it has quite a chewy texture, but the sauce has soaked in and combines with the meat juices, making it juicy And properly delicious The meat quality isn't bad either, but the sauce is particularly delicious With some expensive places delivering the opposite, I feel very positively about this type of restaurant Honestly, for steak up to 2000円, this level of flavor seems unmatched in Akasaka If there is somewhere, sorry, please tell me (crying) A small freshly baked bread roll comes on the side too There's butter on a little plate, but it looks like candy, so don't eat it on its own⚠️ Finally, hot coffee was served, and I finished everything Wow~, that was a highly satisfying lunch I think plenty of people who pass through this area overlook this restaurant, but I recommend it Also, it seems they accept cashless payment even at lunch I'm increasingly baffled by how this price is possible, but I'll count it as one of Akasaka's seven mysteries and someday ask ナイトスクープ to investigate♩ ムカチャス has passed through♩
View on GoogleMy parents-in-law brought me here. I was a little apprehensive because it was French, but the homely atmosphere really won me over. The food was also very delicious. The value is almost too good. We had the chef's recommended S course. The appetizer, main, and dessert were all incredibly delicious and excellent. This time I came with family, but I'd like to use it for business entertaining or group meals.
