🇫🇷 French ✖️ 🥩 Teppanyaki / 📍 Hiroo

📓 Visits: 1 (2021)

Menus are available in English and Japanese on their Website.  I went for lunch (served on weekends and holidays only) which was then priced at JPY 5,000.  Prices have gone up a little since my visit and the lunch course menu appears to contain one fewer course.  Starters and the fish course change from time to time but the main dish is always (unless you upgrade it) the hamburger steak with foie gras followed by curry rice.

Other than a couple of faults in temperatures, all of the starters were very good or excellent.  The hamburger steak, which should have been the highlight, was not as good as the dishes that preceded it.  The burger was an inferior pork/beef blend and the sauce wasn't properly reduced.  The final savoury dish of fried rice and curry was good.  Bread was fairly standard.  Dessert was a choice of chocolate mousse or creme brulee.  I went for the later.  It was rich and large but the kaki ice-cream on top got lost.

The restaurant is showing its age.  A counter seats 8 and there are several booths.  The restaurant was warm in autumn.  Dishes were introduced properly and the chef made some small talk.

Eight courses for 5k was great value but the hamburger steak didn't live up to expectations (perhaps it's better if you upgrade the main?) so I removed the restaurant from my re-visit list.
