◆Visit Rating 4.07 Michelin ★ 5th in Osaka French Cuisine 67th in National French Cuisine ◆About the Restaurant This is a charming house restaurant that offers beautifully crafted modern French courses, incorporating seasonal ingredients and the essence of Japan's four seasons. The chef trained at restaurants like Calendrier and Rabe, and opened his own place at a relatively young age. Reservations for the next day can be made after 9:30 AM the previous month. Please check for any changes as they may occur. At the time of my visit, they were accepting only one group of one person. ◆Impressions I made a reservation through Ikkyu. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is dimly lit and very stylish. It’s the ideal space where I would love to enjoy a meal. The service was attentive and excellent. The dishes were creative and innovative from start to finish, and they were all exceptionally delicious. Given the price range of the course, I personally felt that a more luxurious main dish would have made it perfect. This is undoubtedly one of my top choices for French lunch in Osaka. ◆Meal Cost (Tax Included) JPY 13,000 + Service 10% ◆Dishes Ordered (Food Only, Tax Included) ✔︎✔︎✔︎ Hokkaido Senpochi Oysters Mallow, Myoga, White Wine Sauce, Caviar, Nagaimo, Olive Oil Incredibly creamy and delicious oysters, cut into small pieces for easy enjoyment.
