"HUGE, a French restaurant, has opened on the 1st and 2nd floors of the luxury condominium "Park Court Jingumae Kitasando The Tower," located right near Kitasando Station. The atmosphere is great with a lovely space. (By the way, a friend of mine has purchased a unit in this condominium, and the average price is over 200 million yen (there are no units below 100 million), which is out of reach for salaried workers...) For lunch, they offer salad, pasta, risotto, and grilled dishes. The lunch set includes salad, bread, and a drink. I opted for the Salad Niçoise, which comes with soup instead of salad. I was worried about getting full, but the portion was quite generous and I was satisfied. Money spent: 1,980 yen Rating: 3 points 5 points: Would definitely revisit! 4 points: Would revisit if given the chance! 3 points: Would consider revisiting. 2 points: Once is enough. 1 point: No need to go."

I visited this place for lunch for the first time, and the set menu included pasta, a drink, and salad. The cream pasta was delicious! The staff's hospitality was great, and I had a lovely lunchtime. I recommend this place for those looking to have a stylish lunch around here.

A bistro that is just right in terms of usability. It feels more like a hotel bistro. It's slightly elegant, suitable for dates or entertaining, but also seems good for a casual brunch. The taste is not too unique, likely to be well-received by everyone, with a sense of having eaten something a bit special. I prefer places that are a bit more diverse, but overall, this place is just right.

The spacious interior with natural light streaming in through large windows creates a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for even a solo female diner to feel comfortable stopping by. The lunch menu offers a variety of options ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 yen, including pasta, meat, fish, and risotto. Each lunch set comes with a main dish, salad, bread, and a drink. I chose the pan-fried red snapper with sautéed girolle mushrooms in a Dugléré-style sauce. The fish had a crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh with excellent seasoning and sauce. I ordered an iced coffee, which was made with black sugar syrup, giving it a taste reminiscent of a black sugar café latte. I look forward to returning with someone special next time...

LE BISTRO, a French bistro that opened on North Omotesando, aims to be a restaurant that you can enjoy casually without any formalities. It opened on August 29, 2023, at Park Court Jingumae Kitasando The Tower. The wine list, curated by corporate sommelier Hiroshi Ishida, is focused exclusively on the Burgundy region. The operation is managed by HUGE Co., Ltd., which operates 34 restaurants in Japan, including RIGOLETTO and Hacienda del cielo. This is HUGE's first bistro, and they also opened a wine shop called "LA GALERIE." The hospitality is excellent, and it's my first favorite bistro from HUGE. Finally, I was able to visit. It was a bit challenging to make a reservation at first, as there was no phone number available, but it seems that has been resolved now. The weekday lunch menu includes a Dejeuner with a main dish, mini salad, bread, and a drink, as well as a Complere with a main dish, assorted appetizers, mini soup, bread, drink, and dessert. The mains include Salad Nicoise, Mushroom Risotto with Truffle Flavor, Pan-Fried Sea Bream, Weekly Pasta Special, and Daily Grill Special. On weekends, only a la carte menu is available. I ordered the soup and main dish, along with a Nicoise salad and a drink. The salad was Salad Nicoise, featuring boiled eggs, green beans, potatoes, black olives, sweet tomatoes, leafy greens, and low-temperature cooked tuna with a mild vinaigrette dressing. The vegetables were sweet and flavorful, sourced from Aoki Farm in Miura. The bread was a round, fluffy, and chewy bread from Shibuiichi Bakery in Shibuya, with Echire butter on the side. The soup was French Onion Soup, with caramelized onions, baguette soaked in the soup, topped with plenty of cheese, and baked until golden brown. It had a rich flavor with the sweetness of caramelized onions and melted cheese. I ended the meal with an iced coffee. The bistro is conveniently located near the station, with good food and atmosphere, making it suitable for any occasion. The exceptional hospitality further enhances the overall satisfaction.

A wonderful wine bistro has opened on Kita-Sando! Located on the first floor of the trendy Park Court Kita-Sando tower mansion, this bistro is beautifully designed by Mr. Yasumichi Morita, offering a luxurious and modern interior. The restaurant mainly features Burgundy wines, all of which are reasonably priced. With a wine shop attached, you can also bring in wines other than Burgundy to enjoy with your meal. The dishes are all delicious, and the service is impeccable, making it a must-visit spot in the area. #LEBISTRO #bistro #french #winebar #KitaSando #KitaSandoGourmet #TokyoGourmet #Burgundylover #winelover #foodie #Frenchcuisine

On August 29, 2023, I had lunch at LE BISTRO, which opened on Kitamichi-dori. I made a reservation for a late time, 13:30, so it wasn't too crowded. The lunch options were a course with a mini salad, bread, and a drink for ¥1,800 to ¥2,400, or a course with the above plus soup and dessert for ¥3,300. I chose the former and had this week's special, the ribeye steak for ¥2,400. My friend had the pasta with chicken cream sauce for ¥1,800. The lunch was reasonably priced, and I found the overall experience of the restaurant, including the atmosphere, service, and taste, to be excellent. The terrace seating was lovely, and I would love to visit again when it gets a bit cooler to enjoy the terrace seating.

A large tower apartment was built on Kitasando, and I was wondering what would be on the first floor. To my surprise, it turned out to be a wine shop and a French restaurant. I visited the place the day after it opened. Located on the corner facing a busy intersection near Kitasando Station, it is easily accessible from Yoyogi Station and Sendagaya Station. I wandered around for a bit trying to figure out where the entrance was, and eventually found it near the entrance that led to a long, narrow space with tables lined up. After confirming if a reservation was needed, I was seated towards the back. The place faces Meiji Street, so there is a lot of traffic, but there are plenty of trees outside the windows, creating a refreshing green view. I ordered the weekly pasta lunch menu. While waiting, I was served a salad with a French-flavored dressing, which was light and refreshing. The freshly baked bread was so hot that I had to let it cool down before spreading butter on it. The aroma of the wheat was delightful, and it paired well with the rich butter. I enjoyed it so much that I asked for seconds, and they brought out more piping hot bread. The pasta was generously topped with cheese and green leaves. The unique flavor of the leaves complemented the rich cheese, creating a delicious combination. It took me a while to realize that the leaves were celery, which I'm not particularly fond of. However, the unique flavor of celery mixed with the rich cheese turned out to be surprisingly tasty. I also had an original blend of tea, which had a herbal taste. Overall, it was a delightful meal.

Just opened, the interior, atmosphere, and view from the window are all lovely. Surrounded by greenery, it feels like a resort. The risotto was delicious! It's a place I want to visit again soon.
