A classic French restaurant located in Yotsuya, Shinjuku.Opened in 1990, it is a renowned establishment of authentic classic French cuisine.The owner is Chef Motoyuki Kitajima, a legend in the Japanese French culinary scene.The charm of this place lies in its ability to offer delicious French dishes in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to enjoy a hearty meal.∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ♡ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞This was my first visit in about 7 years and 8 months.The location is about a 5-minute walk from Yotsuya Station.The yellow facade is a notable landmark.The interior has a warm and calming ambiance.The menu features two options: a "3-Dish Select Course (JPY 15,400)" and a "4-Dish Select Course (JPY 16,500)."I was tempted by the additional dish for just JPY 1,100, but since this restaurant is also famous for its generous portions, I ultimately decided to go with the 3-dish course.For drinks, I chose a wine pairing with three glasses.== 3-Dish Select Course ==◆【Amuse Bouche ①】 ~ Tarte Flambée ~ A crispy pastry topped with eggplant, zucchini, and tomato, resembling a pizza. It was delicious from the start, raising my expectations for the upcoming dishes.◆【Amuse Bouche ②】 ~ Soup de Poisson ~ First, enjoy the seafood flavors by sipping it straight, then add the toast spread with aioli for a flavor change. Both were incredibly delicious.◆【Cold Appetizer】 (+JPY 550) ~ Hokkaido Fresh Sea Urchin Consommé Jelly with Cauliflower Cream ~ A specialty of Chef Kitajima. A mousse of cauliflower topped with consommé jelly and fresh sea urchin from Nemuro. The portion was generous, and the taste was outstanding.◆【Bread】 Served with butter.◆【Hot Appetizer】 ~ German White Asparagus with Hollandaise Sauce ~ Two large, thick white asparagus spears, simply boiled in salted water and served with hollandaise sauce. The white asparagus was sweet and very tasty.◆【Main Dish】 ~ Ibaraki Prefecture Black Wagyu Top Sirloin Steak ~ Perfectly cooked, tender, and rich in flavor. Served with chicken liver pâté and mushrooms, along with a curry sauce made with shallots.◆【Granité】 A refreshing icy dessert to cleanse the palate.◆【Dessert】 ~ Crème Caramel with Vanilla Ice Cream ~◆【Coffee】 Herbal tea.◆【Mignardises】 Four types of baked sweets. I was quite full, so I had them wrapped up for take away.== Drinks ==Wine pairing with three glasses. ★ Henriot Brut Souverain ★ Josmeyer Pinot Blanc "Mise du Printemps" ★ Marsannay Mogot Monopole
