01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Roast misuji is a dish to take your time over, especially with a glass of red wine. Some visitors say the tender meat and red-wine sauce made a lasting impression. Others report enjoying it with potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and aubergine ratatouille on the side. It is a main course that brings vegetables into the meal alongside the meat, bite by bite.

Start with small plates such as pickled cherry tomatoes or a quiche filled with meat sauce and cream cheese. One review describes the quiche as good value and notes that some people take it away. The menu also includes prosciutto-wrapped pear and horse mackerel carpaccio, making it easy to build a meal from a few light bites. Pasta options include a cream sauce with oysters and fresh aonori seaweed, and an oil sauce with sakura shrimp and rocket. Some diners have enjoyed the oyster and seaweed pasta; it could also make a satisfying finish after appetisers and wine.

The chicken thigh and mushroom cream stew with truffle flavour has also earned praise for its sauce—one diner said it was so good they wanted to finish with risotto. If you choose it as your main, there is plenty to enjoy at an unhurried pace. Visitors have mentioned a choice of wines by the glass, alongside wine and champagne. It is a good fit for ordering a few dishes to share as you linger over another glass.

Visitors report that service can take time when several orders come in at once, as one person handles the cooking. Consider placing your main orders together at the start, then settling in to enjoy the wine at leisure. Dinner reservations are available.
