After a long time, I had lunch at Bonjour Shokudo in Ohashi. I arrived around the opening time of 11:30 and at that time, there were empty seats but they quickly filled up and became full. Each of us ordered our favorite menu. I usually order the rib steak (beef) but this time, I was curious about what my friend always orders, so I tried ordering the roast chicken. The surface was crisply grilled and had a great texture. The juicy oil overflowing from the chicken was delicious, and even dipping bread in it was amazing! Although it was only half a chicken, the volume for 1,320 yen was very satisfying! Just being in the stylish atmosphere of the restaurant makes you feel happy, it's a wonderful place.

I visited for dinner. It was a course with appetizer, main dish, and dessert. The shrimp ajillo was very hot and the shrimp was very large and voluminous. The taste was a bit strong but delicious. For the main dish, I ordered duck roast. The sauce was a slightly sweet red wine sauce, and it was accompanied by mashed potatoes. The duck was voluminous and the more you chewed, the more you could taste the umami. It was even more delicious when eaten together with the sauce, side dish, and meat. For dessert, I ordered pudding. It was a bit loose, but the taste was delicious.

This is a popular restaurant on the bridge, and I have visited it several times as it is one of my favorites. Sometimes it is full during lunchtime on weekends, so I couldn't get in. For lunch, they offer a daily special (usually some kind of chicken), pork steak, and beef sirloin steak, as well as one type of sandwich. I have only tried the daily special, but it seems like the sirloin steak is the most popular. The interior is small, with red gingham tablecloths and posters on the walls creating a nice atmosphere. French radio seems to be playing in the background. It's casual but has a sense of something special, which I really like. I hope to visit for drinks one evening, as I have only been there for lunch so far.

I visited this place about 10 years ago, but this is my first time posting a review. I had some business at the ward office and decided to have lunch before heading home, so I stopped by here since it was right near the office. They opened at 11:30, so I went in shortly after one other customer. I sanitized my hands and chose a seat. I sat in a corner where I could see the whole restaurant. The tablecloth had a nostalgic and cute retro feel to it. The water was served in a cute bottle that matched the atmosphere of the restaurant. They had several lunch options, and I went with the daily special for 990 yen, which came with bread. The special of the day was a chicken stew in Thai style. The chicken was tender and delicious. It came with potatoes, carrots, and green beans, so it was quite filling. While I was eating, three more groups of customers came in and ordered lamb chops and cassoulet, which looked really tasty with the potatoes served with them. I thought I would like to try those dishes next time.

This is a pioneering old-fashioned bistro in Fukuoka that is said to evoke the image of a working-class eatery in the backstreets of Paris. It has been featured in gourmet magazines in the past, and I have been curious about it for some time. Inside the restaurant, French music is played. For lunch, I had the Rump Steak (1045 yen), which was served with a simple presentation of plenty of French fries and lettuce dressed with dressing. The taste was simple with salt and pepper, and the meat had a bit of chewiness with a good umami flavor when bitten. However, the knife provided was not very sharp, so it would be easier to eat if the meat was sliced before serving. The bread was served warm. I also ordered an Orange Juice (130 yen) as an additional drink, which was reasonably priced. The meat tasted good, but some improvements in presentation could make the dish even better. Presentation is important in cooking. The restaurant seemed popular as customers kept coming in one after another.

After the state of emergency was lifted, my partner and I were wondering where to go first. We decided that having some drinks and food at a restaurant would be nice. We ordered our usual dishes, Hina Tori and Country-style Pate. The restaurant was full and the staff seemed very busy. Looking around, not many people were drinking alcohol since it was still early in the day. It seems like people are still being cautious. So, we also drank alcohol in moderation. After a Heartland beer, we each had a glass of wine and then finished our meal. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It's been a while since I visited Bonjour Shokudo. Despite the strong wind, the weather was decent, so I took the train to get there. When I arrived around 11:30, there was only one other group of customers. I ordered the roasted Hinadori chicken and the Rom steak, but unfortunately, the Rom steak was no longer on the menu. I was a bit disappointed, but I decided to go with the roasted Hinadori chicken and the country-style pate from the appetizer menu instead. I started with a beer and then ordered sparkling wine. The staff kindly went to a nearby store to get it for me, apologizing for the inconvenience during the busy lunch hour. By the time I finished my meal, the restaurant was almost full. The roasted Hinadori chicken was still delicious as always. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited for lunch. It had been over 10 years since my last visit! I was first impressed by the tartar sauce at this restaurant. I remember there being more vegetables in the dish, but it was still good. Since I was with children, we were seated on the terrace. It was nice that the kids didn't get bored watching all the cars passing by in front. There is only one table on the terrace. The roasted chicken had a strong mustard flavor, so I removed the sauce for the kids. It felt like a lovely lunch that made me feel like I was on a trip.

This is my second visit. It's great to be able to enjoy a leisurely brunch on a day off, isn't it? I arrived a little before the 11:30 opening time. The weather is really nice, so we were considering sitting on the terrace, but because it's along a road with moderate traffic, we decided to sit inside to avoid the exhaust fumes. A young female server, different from the one I encountered last time, directed us to a table at the back. Even though there were other empty tables, we were seated very close to another couple, so we asked to be moved to a two-person table by the entrance. We started with a toast with Heartland beer, which was delicious! We ordered the lamb steak and the weekend/holiday limited roast hinadori chicken. The hinadori chicken would be served around noon, so we thought the lamb steak would come first, but they arrived together. They were served a little after noon, and they were both delicious! We had been eagerly waiting, and it was worth it. Unfortunately, the bread basket never came. It was being served at other tables, so they must have forgotten about us. We also asked for water, but it never came. Despite these small issues, the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Bonjour Shokudo, a long-established Western-style restaurant in Ohashi! Located next to Kyushu Chuo Hospital in Ohashi, this Western-style restaurant, Bonjour Shokudo, always seems to have a lot of customers. We arrived a bit later to avoid the crowds. Bonjour! The menu offers reasonably priced French dishes. I decided to go with a beer, Heartland, instead of wine. My companion ordered the lamb steak for 950 yen, which was juicy and delicious. It came with bread as well. I opted for the daily chicken couscous for 900 yen, which was served on a lovely plate. The couscous, sauce, and chicken were perfectly balanced. The chicken was tender and flavorful, especially with added spiciness. I would have loved to enjoy a leisurely glass of wine, but lunchtime was bustling. Overall, a great dining experience at Bonjour Shokudo.

Located within a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Ohashi Station in Fukuoka's Minami Ward, this restaurant is highly rated for its casual French cuisine. With a French bistro-like atmosphere, it is popular among locals for lunch. The menu features dishes like "Romsteak" topped with ginger and balsamic sauce. The thick slices of pork are boiled and then sautéed to a crispy finish, with a generous drizzle of balsamic sauce. While the presentation is simple and rustic, the flavors may be on the lighter side. Next time, I'll try the Romsteak, roast young chicken, or cassoulet. Bon appétit! Enjoy Gourmet Life☆

First time visiting this restaurant. It's the second day of the long weekend and my partner brought me here because they had a good experience before. We arrived a little after 11:30 am and there were 2 other groups of customers already there. We chose to sit inside instead of the open terrace. We ordered the weekend special, roast young chicken and rum steak from the lunch menu, and since the rosé brut on the menu was out of stock, we got a different French rosé brut instead. We also ordered the country-style pate as an appetizer, which was perfect for snacking! It went really well with the wine. After a while, the eagerly awaited roast young chicken and rum steak arrived. The young chicken, steamed slowly, was amazing! It was so tender and delicious! The rum steak was also tender and we finished it in no time. We were full and the bill came out to be 7040 yen, which was quite reasonable. If there's a restaurant like this near my place, I would want to visit every week! Thank you for the feast!

This is the time when I often feel like I want to spend a leisurely lunch on my day off. Especially if the atmosphere of the restaurant is like that, I tend to feel that way even more. The restaurant I want to introduce this time is "Bonjour Shokudo", which is popular and crowded with customers one after another, so you can't really relax, but there is a space that makes you feel that way. As the name suggests, they serve French cuisine, and the interior of the restaurant evokes a cafe in a French town, allowing you to indulge in a slow holiday mood while nibbling on popular lunch menus. The location of the restaurant is in Shiohara, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City. It is located along Nisseki Street, right near Ohashi. Therefore, the access to the restaurant is very convenient as it is just a short walk from Ohashi Station on the Nishitetsu train line. Since there is no parking lot, if you come by car, use a coin parking lot. When you walk along Nisseki Street, you will see a large green sign and a cafe-like exterior. The name of the restaurant, "Bonjour Shokudo," is also written prominently. So you will find it easily. There is also an old menu blackboard at the entrance of the restaurant. Since it's this time of year, there are also take-out menu items available. Although it's a bit hard to see, there is also a terrace seat behind the blackboard. There are posters and flyers all over the walls when you enter the restaurant, giving you the feeling of being in a foreign eatery. The seat spacing inside is narrow, but the tables are covered with cute red checkered tablecloths, creating a charming atmosphere. The BGM playing in the restaurant is a French radio broadcast, making you feel like you're dining in a French cafe. The lunch menu was on the blackboard as mentioned earlier, and also on the table. There is a daily special (chicken couscous) and other items like Cassoulet, roast young chicken, and actually, there was also a rump steak behind the daily special, but since it was hidden as a daily special, I didn't order it. (If I had known, I might have ordered it...) There are also additional dessert and drink sets available for an extra charge. Also, being a French restaurant, they offer alcohol as well. There is a wide selection of wines. Although it's a bit hard to see, there is also a dinner menu. What I ordered this time was the chicken couscous for lunch with a drink set. (900 yen + 110 yen) By the way, couscous is a type of pasta and is said to be the smallest pasta in the world. When I ordered, the first thing that was brought was water. The water is served in a bottle, which adds to the stylish feel. And then, the lunch was served. It was generously filled with vegetables, and the vegetables stand out more than the chicken. The flavor is tomato-based, and the couscous has a texture more like rice than pasta, similar to risotto. Since there are many vegetables, it gives a healthy impression. This is the chili pepper with a hint of shiso-like flavor that came with it. My wife ordered the popular Cassoulet for lunch. The Cassoulet is a baguette sandwich as written on the menu, and it looks delicious. I also had a bit, and the baguette was delicious, and the white fish fry was crispy and good. Truly a popular item. The potatoes that came with it were also great! The saltiness was just right and it was delicious. Finally, the espresso drink. I don't usually drink this, but it was delicious in this kind of place with this atmosphere. My wife ordered the dessert set, banana tart. The amount was just right, and I didn't feel overly full, but it was nice to be able to eat slowly in this kind of place with this atmosphere. Truly a feeling of a holiday lunch, and that's what I was looking for, so it was a popular restaurant with customers coming one after another. Dinner seems to be popular too, so I would like to visit for dinner someday and enjoy a leisurely meal with a glass of wine.

Bonjour Shokudo in Ohashi, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City, is a casual French restaurant. It is located about a 3-minute walk from Nishitetsu Ohashi Station, near the Minami Ward Office. I visited during lunchtime on a Sunday. The restaurant has 11 two-person tables with cute tablecloths. I ordered the daily lunch special, the Cassoulet (pictured) for 900 yen including tax. The Cassoulet arrived, with a white fish fry sandwiched between baguette slices and topped with plenty of tartar sauce. I took a big bite (apologies for my lack of manners) and it was delicious. The tanginess of the tartar sauce was refreshing and soothing for my tired body in the heat. The side dishes of French fries and salad were also generous in portion. I finished everything and left satisfied. Bonjour Shokudo has become quite a longstanding establishment. I wonder how many years they have been in business. On this day, there were young couples, elderly couples, a single elderly man, and a single elderly woman dining at the restaurant. Bonjour Shokudo, a casual French restaurant loved by locals, I will definitely visit again!

On the way back from the South Ward Office, I discovered a quaint little shop that looked like it could be in the French countryside. It was lunchtime, so I decided to go in. Inside the shop, French radio was playing, and there were posters of movies and paintings all over the walls, all French. I ordered the daily recommended dish, roast chicken with whole grain mustard sauce. My companion ordered the cassoulet. The roast chicken came with roasted chicken, potatoes, green beans, and carrots mixed with whole grain mustard sauce, along with French bread. The cassoulet consisted of two fried white fish sandwiches with tartar sauce on baked French bread, served with fries and salad on one plate. Unfortunately, the flavors were not as impressive as I had imagined, but overall, I was satisfied with the experience, including the ambiance of the shop. Next time, I would like to try the steak.

Finally made it!! French bistro, I've been wanting to go for a long time and I finally went. As soon as I entered, the waiter muttered "please seat yourself" without even saying welcome. I quickly sat down and placed my order, but the food took a long time to come out. When the highly anticipated dish finally arrived, it did not suit my taste at all. It was disappointing. I will not be visiting again.

I had the fried white fish and tartar sauce casoulet. It was delicious as always. The French fries were also very generous in portion. By 11:30, there were already about 4 groups waiting. It was a good decision to go early while it was still available. Other options included pork and bell pepper stew, the usual steak, and weekend special young chicken. The pork casoulet is available on weekdays, but the young chicken is only on weekends. The stew and young chicken are available until around 11:50, so make sure to arrive in time. The neighboring restaurant, Le Puy, also opens at 12. Keep in mind that small, independently-owned restaurants may have such limitations. They are also active on Twitter.

It had been a while since I tried to have lunch nearby, and this time I was able to get in without waiting. However, the daily special was sold out, so I decided to try the chicken confit plate instead. It was a rare daily special and it was lighter than the pork confit, but still enjoyable. This popular old-fashioned French restaurant, which has been supported by chefs for a long time, is still evolving!

It was a long time since my last visit, and to be honest, I was disappointed. The table was wobbly and I couldn't cut my steak properly. Serving a dish meant to be eaten with a fork and knife on such a table is a fatal flaw. I couldn't enjoy my meal properly. The restaurant, which was supposed to be a lovely place to enjoy French cuisine in a casual atmosphere, was disappointing in its lack of sophistication. I was also surprised to see the server with a large stone decoration on their nail. I was worried about what would happen if it fell onto the plate. The taste was still delicious, so I hope they make an effort to improve. There are other small restaurants that are well-managed with a good atmosphere and cost performance, so I hope they consider changing their mindset.

Unpretentious French cuisine. It was delicious but we had to wait quite a bit.
