Located just a 6-minute walk from Nishi 28-chome Station on the Tozai Line (Sapporo City Subway), this French restaurant is a renowned establishment in a quiet area near Maruyama Park. As of June 2026, it boasts a Tabelog score of 4.26 and has been selected as one of Tabelog's "100 Best Restaurants 2025." According to the staff, reservations should be made at least two months in advance. One of the main purposes of my trip to Hokkaido was to revisit this restaurant.The lunch menu offers three options: JPY 7200, JPY 9600, and JPY 14800 (a 10% service charge is added). I reserved the JPY 7200 course, but there are no choices for the main dish, so it's essential to inform them in advance if you have any allergies. (I have no food dislikes, so it was not an issue for me.)Lunch Course JPY 7200 (10% service charge added)Although a service charge is included, the friendly yet professional service makes it feel completely justified. The course includes soup, fritters, seasonal vegetables, appetizers, pear tea, meat dish, potatoes, and dessert. This is an example of the JPY 7200 menu listed on their website.**Soup** The presentation was outstanding (I won’t spoil it here). But beyond the presentation, the dish was truly complete. It was gazpacho, a masterpiece that allowed me to savor the essence of the vegetables.**Fritters** These were fava bean fritters. Once in my mouth, the deliciousness of the fava beans spread throughout. The timing of the dish's arrival was perfect.**Seasonal Vegetables** This felt like a high-end salad. The salad was beautifully plated, but I was instructed to mix it three times before eating. It was a salad that captured the essence of early summer in Hokkaido, reminding me of the French restaurant "Michel Bras" in Toya that I had visited before.**Appetizer** The main ingredient was asparagus, sourced from their affiliated auberge "Makkarina." It was accompanied by meringue, cheese, and eggs. At one point, they surprised us by bringing out white asparagus, saying, "This is on the house!" This was a delightful surprise for all guests.**Lemon and Tea Sorbet** After taking a bite, they poured brandy over it. This brandy, with an alcohol content of 40%, transformed the dish into an adult flavor.**Meat Dish** This was a duck dish, grilled over charcoal. It might have been the best duck I’ve ever had. It was served with Hachijo miso and kanzuri, adding a wonderful "Japanese" touch. Additionally, they served their signature potato gratin, which was absolutely delicious.**Dessert** This was a milk gelato topped with olive oil. The sweetness was subtle, and it was sprinkled with pepper.Then came the fried donuts, lemon jelly, and coffee. The fried donuts were a delightful indulgence (laughs). They were, of course, elegantly made and delicious.Reservations can only be made by phone; online reservations are not accepted. Although prices have increased compared to before, they are still quite reasonable compared to those in Tokyo. The quality of service is also noteworthy. The staff is friendly yet attentive, and the timing of the dishes is truly remarkable.It might be worth visiting Sapporo just to dine at this restaurant. If I had to mention one thing, I prefer my baguette to be baked a bit more. However, it came with plenty of butter, making it irresistible. Also, since I was traveling, I opted for non-alcoholic wine this time, but I should have gone for the real thing.Additionally, the complimentary water and the very Japanese-style service are great aspects of this restaurant. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
