I had about three hours between appointments, so I made a reservation at a renowned French restaurant nearby.This place, Belle Equipe, is a Tabelog Award 2026 Bronze winner.In the past, dining alone as an older gentleman made me feel like I was being mistaken for some kind of inspector, but recently, that tension has faded. Now, it feels like no one bats an eye at an older man simply enjoying French cuisine.It's conveniently located just off the Mizunami Interchange, with parking available.**Lunch Course**◯ Mentaiko Brûlée A gentle flavor.◯ Prosciutto with Tomato and Watermelon, Tomato Sauce The warm tomato sauce pairs perfectly with the prosciutto. The combination of tomato and watermelon is delightful.◯ Salad with Warm Sauce ◯ Bread The vegetables are delicious. The warm sauce and bread complement each other perfectly.◯ Sea Bream and Mussels Another dish with a gentle flavor. The bread is also tasty.◯ Corn Soup Warm, sweet, and rich with a pleasant aftertaste. This is delicious.◯ Roasted Lamb with Creamy Mustard Sauce ◯ Oolong Tea Bread This was a revelation; I’ve never tasted lamb this delicious before. It was incredible. I bit into the meat with my hands, and there was no gamey taste at all. It was unbelievably good. I was completely absorbed in it. The sauce and bread were also excellent. What a wonderful experience, even for an older gentleman like me.◯ Mango Dessert Refreshing and delicious.◯ Tea Sweets and Coffee I left feeling satisfied and full after the tea sweets and coffee.The gentle seasoning was comforting, but the main dish of roasted lamb was shockingly good. Just when I thought it was all gentle flavors, I was captivated by the wildness of the lamb.And it was incredibly affordable.I felt so lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant nearby.Well, I’ll definitely come back by car. It’s worth the drive.It was a great meal. Thank you!
