Hyperlocal Tokyo

This was my first time visiting. I was looking for a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere where I could enjoy delicious wine and food for a birthday dinner, and I found this place. All the food was incredibly delicious, and I was completely satisfied. The staff was also very attentive, offering suggestions when I was unsure about the wine and anticipating my needs with just a glance. I was very happy with their thoughtful service. The restaurant was full, but the tables were spaced comfortably, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere. I left wanting to try more of their dishes and wines. I definitely plan to visit again.

I often go there for lunch, but I especially recommend it for dinner on weekends. The food is delicious, of course, but they also have a wide selection of wines at reasonable prices. I don't drink alcohol myself, but they happily welcome guests who don't (which is obvious, but still...). They also have a good selection of mineral water and soft drinks. The bistro's lights, which appear out of nowhere in the dark office district on weekends, create a nice atmosphere.

I arrived about 3 minutes after they opened, and most of the seats were already taken. The menu only had the lunch menu featured on Instagram. Although it was right after opening, I had to wait a bit. The salad, soup, main course, and dessert were all included for 1300 yen, which is great value for money. The meat stew that day was tender, the rice was firm, and it was delicious.

On May 24, 2023, I visited this restaurant for the first time with a friend at 6:30 PM. The menu was extensive, and we were overwhelmed with choices. The staff suggested that 3-4 dishes would be sufficient for two people, as the portions were generous. We started with a celebratory glass of champagne and ordered the Black Angus Beef Pâté de Campagne, Shrimp, Squid, and Mussel Ajillo, Lyonnaise Salad with Gizzards, Bacon, and Croutons, and a Bouillabaisse with Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Head-on Prawns, Mussels, and Scallops. Every dish was absolutely delicious! We finished with a Cassis Soda and left completely satisfied. The restaurant was filled with women, which was a pleasant surprise.

I went with my colleagues. The atmosphere of the restaurant, the wine, and the food were all excellent. It seems to be a popular place, as it was fully booked even on a weekday. Thanks to my colleague for making the reservation! I heard their lunch is also highly recommended, so I'd love to try it sometime. Thank you!
