Le Beurre Noisette, the well-known "Neo Bistro" in Paris opened its new and the first branch in Tokyo on September 2010.
"Neo Bistro" is, as per the restaurant's information, different from traditional bistro consisdered casual eating place but it is the place where fine cuisines inherited from Grandes maisons (luxury grand restaurants) are served at reasonable prices. sLe Beurre Noisette, whose chef had work experiences at a few of Michelin 3star restaurants, is one of the most popular among those Neo Bistros.
The unit in Tokyo is situated on the 12th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi (銀座三越) department store.In the heart of Ginza, inside of the restaurant is decorated to bring atomosphere of
bistro in Paris".
Ginza Mitsukoshi recently completed a big renovation project is crowded with domestic and international tourists as well as local people especially during the weekend.
Luckly we could get a table infront of wine rakcs and next to the kitchen with glass window.
Our lunch was started with a glass of "Beaujolais nouveau 2010" and bread with noisette.
For me, this is the first time to taste the new wine made in 2010 since it is on sale last Thurseday. Uhhh it smell sweet flavour like strawberry jam, not too fresh.
This is the plate as my friend ordered as starter.
Remoulade of beets and smoke salmon. What a surprising color!
Pied de cochon (hand of pork) carpaccio, lentil with vinegar
My starter dish is not so beautiful in color.
It is tasty and deserves the name of "our specialty".
I believe the taste characteritic is close to Japanese one rather than typical French.
It must be loved by Japanese...
Pinapple pork from Okinawa cooked for 24hours
Very soft enough to swing...
Millefeuille with autumn fruites (apple, pear and pineapple) and vanilla ice cream
Caramel flavour cream is also nice...
It is a French restaurant surely but the plates can be liked by Japanese, as the taste is subtly close to Japanese traditional flavour such as soja sauce.
