I heard a much-talked-about French restaurant had opened in Kyoto, so I went to check it out.

The entrance

They’ve converted an old, traditional-looking house.

The menu

Decent value for money.

Nibbles

The service and the interior were lovely too.

Amuse-bouche

Butter

Bread

Foie gras

Scallop

Pan-seared sea bass

Roast veal

Shichimi ice cream

Pomegranate

Crab apple

Tea

Petits fours

It’s been a while since this meal so my memory is hazy, but I do remember the vegetables served with the veal being seriously good. The rest was so-so… in Japan, a meal at this level is just par for the course.
