Visited the restaurant of French cuisine iron man, Hiroki Sakai. It's a French restaurant with a touch of Japanese flavor, making it unique. The taste of the ingredients is well brought out, and I really enjoyed the flavors. The stylish presentation was also lovely, making me happy every time a dish was served. Each dish was original and used plenty of vegetables, which was nice. The course menu had too much food, so I couldn't finish it all, which was a shame. Received a canelé as a gift on the way out. Didn't get to meet Chef Sakai, but I was very satisfied with the delicious food. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant offers a well-balanced combination of service, atmosphere, taste, and price, making it my favorite place in the past few years. I visited for lunch in the second half of Golden Week. The chef is from or resides in Kanagawa Prefecture, so many dishes feature ingredients from Kanagawa. Currently, they are having a Tottori Fair, but the main highlight is the Ashigara beef menu. Although there is no menu listing, the smoked burdock appetizer made a lasting impression with its delicious burdock sauce. Both the fish and meat dishes were consistently tasty and satisfying. For dessert, you can choose from a dessert cart, making it a hit with dessert lovers and women. Even though I usually have a separate stomach for sweets, I ended up feeling full after trying over 10 different desserts.

I visited the restaurant owned by Iron Chef French cuisine, Mr. Sakai. The service provided by the woman who answered the phone was excellent, and I had high expectations upon entering. It was amazing from start to finish. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

We visited for our wedding anniversary lunch. It seems like the menu has changed since November, so the speed at which the dishes came out felt a bit slow, but the food was delicious with a focus on ingredients from Hyogo prefecture. The dessert wagon that I was looking forward to was still delicious as ever. We ordered everything (lol). We would like to come back again for our special occasions.

There were a wide variety of wagon desserts available, allowing me to enjoy a little bit of each. The atmosphere was relaxed and luxurious, making me feel special. Even those who don't like salmon mousse could enjoy it because it was so delicious.

[Genre] French [Location] 1F, Tokyu Capitol Tower, Nagatacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Nearest station: Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, Tameike-Sanno Station, almost directly connected! You will need to go outside Capitol Tower once. I received a dinner meal ticket as a gift from RINVEL Catalog Gift, so I made a reservation and visited this place. This is the restaurant of French Iron Chef Sakai. He seems to be doing well even now, as there are photos on the restaurant's Facebook page. [Order] Dinner Course Upon entering, I gave my name and was guided to a spacious table. [Course] - Cheers with Champagne!

The appearance is beautiful, as expected of a chef from Iron Chef. In particular, it was my first time to have two desserts, Avant-dessert and Grand dessert. The Grand dessert, which consisted of Shine Muscat and apple julienned with a cream-based brulee, was an outstanding dessert. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to La Rochelle Yamao, a French restaurant located on the first floor of the same building as Tameike-Sanno, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu. La Rochelle Yamao is owned by the Iron Chef, Chef Sakai, with Chef Kusuno as the head chef. I made a reservation in advance and was smoothly guided to my table when I arrived. I was seated at a table by the wall. I ordered the Special Lunch Course which includes a total of 7 items to enjoy with two main dishes and desserts from the dessert cart. The course includes seasonal vegetable soup, bread, Chef's recommended appetizer, fish dish, meat dish, refreshment (a bite-sized fruit soup), Chef's special cake & fruit selection from the cart, petit fours, and coffee or tea. The warm soup was made of green peas and had a delightful aroma when served. The soup had a creamy texture and a refreshing taste. The homemade round bread was soft and had a good wheat flavor, complemented by the olive oil provided. The Chef's recommended appetizer was a combination of dishes on a round plate, including onion and clam sauce, simmered taro, bamboo shoot and sansho pepper sauce, marinated onion and snap pea, Spanish ham, Takano egg omelet, and potato mousse espuma. The fish dish was grilled sea bream and squid rice, which was flavorful with the addition of tomato and basil sauce and squid soy sauce. The meat dish was pork shoulder loin with cabbage and egg yolk, which was juicy and delicious when paired with the egg yolk. The mousse sauce was made with lentils for added texture. The New Summer Orange Soup was a refreshing drink-like soup. For dessert, I had the opportunity to choose from a variety of options from the dessert cart, and I tried them all. The desserts included plum jelly, sweet sake parfait, Nakayama egg roll cake, Kaga boucha blancmange, Madeleine, Noto daizu mille-feuille, Gorojima sweet potato Mont Blanc, Kawakita gata bokujo sorbet, cherry compote, and lemon macaron.

I reserved a 5800 yen lunch course at a French restaurant located on the first floor of a hotel directly connected to Tameike-Sanno Station. A separate 10% service charge will be added. Despite the area around the station being quiet on the weekend, the restaurant was fully booked. Due to the crowds, it took some time for the dishes to be served, but the staff apologized and engaged in conversation, creating a friendly atmosphere. Each dish was visually appealing and delicious. The menu changes every 2-3 months, and this time it featured ingredients from Ishikawa Prefecture. Not only was the food delicious, but the restaurant was also cozy and welcoming.

I made a reservation through Ikyu and had a lunch course with a drink included. They are currently using a lot of ingredients from Ishikawa Prefecture. The course included soup, appetizer, fish, meat, and dessert. For dessert, you can choose from a dessert cart, and it's okay to choose as many as you like. Many people choose all five types, but I chose five.

I celebrated at the restaurant of Chef Hiroyuki Sakai, well-known from Iron Chef, which I had been curious about for a while. The food was not overly heavy French style, but instead had flavors that matched my preferences and was very delicious. I was very satisfied. In the end, Chef Sakai made an appearance, looking stylish and full of energy, which was very impressive. The other staff members were also very attentive. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

Delicious dishes that I have never tried before keep coming out one after another. They are not necessarily made with expensive ingredients, yet they are delicious. The sazae in the galette was surprisingly good with a new texture. Above all, the service of having the recommended wine by the 33-year sommelier, Mr. Yamane, come out one by one is wonderful. Hearing stories also enhances the value of the dishes. The olive oil to dip the bread in also has a lemon scent and tastes delicious. I wonder if I should buy some to take home.

I keep coming back to La Rochelle for lunch. It had been a while since my last visit, and this time, the Christmas-themed desserts were especially cute ❤️ The lunch may be a bit pricey, but the portion size and quality are worth it. The meal includes appetizers, amuse-bouche, plenty of vegetables, fish, and meat, with a different menu each time, all delicious. The presentation is beautiful and enjoyable to look at. And the best part is the dessert cart at the end - it's amazing. Lunch-exclusive desserts are available, and if you have room in your stomach, you can have them all! I always end up too full to try them all, but each dessert is delicious, and the quality is incredible. It really boosts my mood ❤️ La Rochelle's lunch is the best!

I made a reservation for lunch and visited the restaurant. The place was almost full. I thought I had ordered the course under 3000 yen as listed on Tabelog, but it turned out to be a 3500 yen course. With tax and service charge, the total came out to over 4000 yen. The dishes were beautifully presented, although the main dish, the braised beef, was a bit dry. The flavors were not particularly outstanding, but the service was good and the overall value was decent, so I think it would be a good place for business meetings. Thank you for the meal.

I used it at a family member's wedding party. From the welcome food to the dessert, everything was meticulously made and the quality was evident. The dishes were created with a French complexity that enhances the taste of the ingredients. The temperature was also carefully managed and served. The quality of the food, the beauty of the presentation, the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the customer service were all amazing. It was truly delicious...!! It's a wonderful restaurant that you can say that about.

La Rochelle Yamawo in Nagatacho is a French restaurant where everything is carefully made, and I was impressed. The appetizers using onions in various cooking methods were interesting. ⭐️5⭐️I want to visit again. I love it so much that I don't want to tell anyone. ⭐️4⭐️I would recommend this restaurant if asked. I would like to go again if I have the chance. ⭐️3⭐️I might go again. ⭐️2⭐️Hmm, I would prefer to try a different restaurant if possible. ⭐️1⭐️I don't want to go. Personally, I do not recommend it.

I went to have lunch with my senior colleague again♀️ It had been 2 months since my last visit, but the restaurant was bustling with almost full seating! I was excited to see the dessert cart. The lunch menu had changed with seasonal vegetables and more! The spring vegetables, fish, and meat were all delicious. The appetizers and vegetables were irresistible. The soup was extremely hot, so be careful❗️ The fish was refreshing, the meat seemed rare but melted in my mouth. It was sirloin but surprisingly not heavy at all! The dessert cart had almost everything, and I tried a lot but ended up feeling like I might throw up. Haha, got carried away. But I always enjoy a wonderful lunch here. Thank you as always.

This is a restaurant located on the first floor of The Capitol Hotel Tokyu, with the entrance facing the outside of the building. On a holiday afternoon, we made a reservation for four people. The restaurant is owned by the French Iron Chef, Hiroyuki Sakai, whom I used to watch on TV in the 1990s. Two of us had white wine, while the other two had sparkling soft drinks to cheers. The lunch French course started with a piping hot onion gratin soup that burnt the tongue, followed by beautiful bite-sized appetizers (incorporating Japanese ingredients) as the amuse-bouche, which were incredibly delicious. I sipped on my white wine until the fish main course arrived, and then switched to red wine when the meat main course, accompanied by risotto finished in a lump of cheese, was served. The highlight of the course was the dessert. A tray with a variety of desserts was brought to the table, and we all ordered every single one. One person had coffee, while the rest of us, including myself, had tea. Sweet treats really do have a separate stomach, as we all happily devoured them. The women especially looked delighted as they ate. It was a wonderful restaurant with amazing flavors, service, and atmosphere. I would love to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for the second time during lunchtime! I was excited to see the dessert wagon♡ The restaurant was busy on a Saturday and I couldn't wait to try the lunch dishes. The meal included a soup, mini appetizers, a cute vegetable soup, a tart, a fish dish, a main dish of pie stew, and a choice of desserts. The quality of the food was amazing, everything was delicious! The desserts were small but incredibly tasty and high quality! It was beyond just a regular lunch, it was amazing! I was so happy, it was like a luxurious brunch experience!

I went to enjoy JCB's special course. It was my first time seeing Chef Sakai since meeting him at the Toho Life Building in Shibuya, so I had high expectations. And it did not disappoint! The flavors were delicious from start to finish. The meat was especially tasty! I wanted more of the dessert! Time flew by because I was enjoying myself so much. Somehow, I overheard the conversation at the next table about having a mistress (laughs). I decided to take some dessert home as a souvenir since I was already there.

I went with my companion and it cost a little over 35,000 yen including drinks. I have visited multiple times, but the taste seems to be getting a bit sloppy. Even the balance of flavors in a single sauce is inconsistent, and it seems like the chef's sensibility has become more mainstream. I won't go into detail about each dish, but if I had to mention something, the French bread served as a side was the most delicious. The service, including the way dishes were placed on the table, is sloppy overall, and the service manners are deteriorating. It's disappointing to leave feeling let down after looking forward to the visit. I will post a photo from the most disappointing visit a few times ago. I hope for improvement in both service manners and taste.
