La Cantine du Midi in Shirokane-Takanawa

I went to Shirokane to meet a friend. I really do end up in this neighborhood a lot. We had lunch together at a small French bistro near my friend’s place.

Daniel Dumont, the wine of the day

It was a holiday, so I happily had a glass of champagne.

Bread and butter

Pretty good. There was a Le Cordon Bleu diploma hanging on the wall, and seeing how many locals come here somehow put me at ease even before the food arrived.

There were round rolls too ^_^

Oyster gratin and chicken braised with honey

Since it’s lunch, it comes simply as a one-plate meal. It being winter, I ordered the oyster gratin and the recommended braised chicken. The chicken had a light sweetness from the honey soaked into it, and it was delicious. The oyster gratin was top-notch too; the oysters were big and nicely cooked. It went well with the champagne, and as a holiday lunch I was very satisfied.

Grilled fish and braised chicken

This was the fish of the day, and the portion was generous. Cooked just right, too..

Business card

Overall, a decent neighborhood French bistro. I heard the main branch is near Akihabara, so if I’m ever around there I’d like to drop by.
