I made a reservation in advance and ordered the Neem course for 2100 yen for lunch. The restaurant had a casual atmosphere, with a group of moms having a lively lunch gathering. The Neem course included appetizers, soup, a choice of meat or fish main dish, focaccia, dessert, and a drink. I chose the roasted pork shoulder (with red wine sauce) as my main dish. The appetizer, which was supposed to be abundant in seasonal vegetables, was a bit disappointing as it only had a small amount of vegetables and a few pieces of salmon and sea urchin. The focaccia was delicious and paired well with the orange-flavored olive oil. The soup was described as saffron soup by one server and carrot soup by another, and it was just okay. The main dish, roasted pork shoulder, was cooked perfectly and juicy, but the red wine sauce lacked flavor. The dessert was a selection of six small cakes, which looked and tasted like something you would find in a small, inexpensive cake shop. I wish there were more elaborate and beautiful desserts instead. The rose hip tea I chose did not pair well with the cakes. Overall, I was disappointed as I was expecting a special lunch experience, but the food and service did not meet my expectations. The parking lot in front of the restaurant had limited space and may be challenging for those who are not confident in parking or have larger vehicles. I would not visit this restaurant again.

Located in Sakurazaka, this restaurant has parking space for about 7 cars, and the Olive Course Lunch for 1800 yen is quite a good deal. The staff members are very friendly, with a warm and attentive attitude. The restaurant has large windows, creating a bright and open atmosphere.

The atmosphere, the food, everything was wonderful! We use this restaurant for our workplace farewell parties every year. I would love to treat myself to the lunch course someday.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant is located a short walk down Hanamizuki Street from Sakurazaka Station. It is surrounded by greenery and has a spacious layout. The entrance with greenery is impressive, and there is parking space for about four cars. I visited on a weekday lunchtime and was surprised to see mostly local moms as customers. The menu includes weekday lunch specials like curry lunch for 1000 yen, onion gratin soup lunch for 1200 yen, and salad lunch for 1200 yen. We ordered the Olive Course for 1800 yen, which included a colorful vegetable and fruit salad, seasonal vegetable potage soup, roasted Itojima pork with wasabi sauce, pistachio crème brûlée for dessert, and coffee. The food was delicious and the portion size was generous, making it a great value for the price. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and I would love to try their Coq au Vin dish next time. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

I visited for lunch. The greenery was refreshing, and I chose a lunch set where you can choose your main dish. It cost 1800 yen including tax. The set drink options included alcohol, which made me a bit envious since I'm pregnant and can't drink. The salad had a decent portion size, and the cold corn soup was delicious! The focaccia with salt and rosemary was to my liking, although my friend found it a bit salty. The beef main dish was also delicious, although it could have been a bit more tender. I think they cooked it a bit longer for me since I'm pregnant. I appreciated that they confirmed the cooking preference in advance. I really enjoyed the dessert - the pistachio cream was rich, and the lemon sorbet was refreshing. The coffee was also delicious. The staff's service was pleasant, and I've decided to become a repeat customer at this restaurant!

The place is in Chuo-ku, Sakurazaka, where "Maison de Yoshida" closed down and was replaced by a casual French restaurant. On weekends and holidays, prices are slightly higher compared to weekdays, but in return, dessert becomes a buffet. On weekends and holidays, there is only one lunch course for 2500 yen. I visited on a Sunday and there were a decent number of customers. 1. Salad with 10 types of vegetables and seasonal fruits, lemon-flavored dressing with persimmons, apples, and pink grapefruits. The salad had very little dressing, almost none, and I found it lacking in flavor. The bread with rock salt was good. 2. Warm cauliflower potage soup with black pepper as an accent, just as I imagined. 3. Pan-fried mackerel with anchovy-flavored cream sauce. The mackerel was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and tender inside. The cream sauce with anchovy was delicious. Under the fish, there were sautéed root vegetables and bacon cooked in white wine, which was also tasty. 4. Charcoal-grilled French duck breast with red wine sauce. The duck breast was overcooked and tough, which was disappointing. The charcoal flavor was good. Under the duck meat, there were lentils and mushrooms as sides. 5. Dessert buffet had a good variety of options, and all of them were delicious. Finally, we had coffee, and my girlfriend ordered a recommended coffee for an extra 150 yen. Comparing the two, my regular coffee had a slightly bitter taste. Overall rating: Taste 33/50, Cost performance 12/20, Atmosphere 13/20, Service 6/10. When combined, the total score is 64/100. Foodlog rating: 1F, Sakurazaka, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture. Phone: 092-716-1678.

This is a review of a restaurant that opened after Maison de Yoshida Cafe. I visited this place after being recommended by a staff at a related store that I visited recently. The interior of the restaurant is almost the same as the previous one. They sell "olive oil" here. On weekdays, they have lunch starting from around 1000 yen, but on weekends, they only offer a course menu for 2300 yen (tax included). - Appetizers: 10 kinds of green salad, Parmesan-flavored pork rillettes, and pumpkin salad. Various vegetables are served along with the rillettes, which have a smooth and delicious taste. The dressing was quite tangy. - Focaccia: It's delicious. The salt on top is just right, and the dough has a nice chewy texture. - Onion soup: You can taste the sweetness of the onions, and it's delicious with plenty of cream. - Pan-seared Norwegian salmon with tomato sauce: The salmon, with its fatty texture, is delicious. The tomatoes are dried, so they are not too acidic. The basil sauce served with it complements the salmon well. - Beef babette (hanger steak) steak with red wine sauce and seasonal vegetables: The meat is average, but the sauce is rich and to my liking. - You can choose from several drink options. I had coffee, which came in a surprisingly large cup. It was the size of a soup cup, and I couldn't finish it. - Dessert: This was also large. Those with a sweet tooth will be pleased. It's a raspberry mousse with a nice hint of acidity. It's delicious, but I don't like sweet things, so I only had half. The portion size was satisfying, and overall, it was a fulfilling lunch. For 2300 yen including tax, this meal offers good value.

I have used this restaurant for lunch several times. The interior is quite small, with an open kitchen where the food is prepared in a limited space. The atmosphere is nice as you can enjoy your meal while looking at the outside view, especially on sunny days. The focaccia here has a unique taste that you can't find elsewhere. I was impressed when I first tried it. The menu consists of course meals, so even if you order a lunch menu, you can enjoy appetizers to desserts. My personal recommendation is the Onion Gratin Lunch. The main dish is onion gratin, which is quite delicious. I thought it might not be enough, but the appetizers and desserts are also substantial, so I was very satisfied. The most reasonable menu can be enjoyed for around 2000 yen. For those who want a more elaborate course, there are higher courses available. The taste is delicious, but it seems like there is a lack of service staff. There were times when the beer I ordered was left on the counter for a long time and didn't reach my table, or when the order was misunderstood and a different menu arrived. They didn't offer to remake it or apologize, which was very disappointing. It was a young staff member, so I ate what was brought to me, but it was really disappointing. Since then, I haven't gone back... However, they do accommodate surprise celebrations even during lunch, so that's a good point.

I visited a dessert buffet that was being held for a limited time. The visit data and menu photos are included in this article. The buffet included options such as pudding, hyuganatsu tart, strawberry fromage blanc, chocolate banana pound cake, Mont Blanc, cookies, financiers, and cheesecake. Upon arriving at the opening time with a reservation, I was seated and given a brief explanation of the rules. I opted for the dessert buffet only, and was informed that I could choose my dessert from the showcase. I was asked if I wanted all the options brought to my table, which I agreed to. The desserts were flavorful and high-quality, with items like a rich pudding, a refreshing strawberry fromage blanc, a firm chocolate banana pound cake, a boozy Mont Blanc, an aromatic cookie, and a creamy cheesecake. Despite the limited variety, the high quality and affordable price made it a satisfying experience. The restaurant was about 30% full during my visit, and I left feeling like I got good value for my money.
