On my third visit, I once again had a fantastic experience at the restaurant, having already developed considerable trust from the previous two visits. I started with a glass of Krug champagne, which set the tone perfectly. The first course, thinly sliced truffles reminiscent of bonito flakes, had a delightful aroma and was incredibly delicious. Following that, the tuna and caviar dish, scallops with cauliflower, sea urchin pasta, pan-fried sea bream, main course of Ezo venison, risotto, soup pasta – each dish was a delight that brought happiness with every bite. The desserts, three varieties in total, were light and refreshing, leaving a gentle sensation in the stomach. Although I was a bit surprised by the higher-than-expected bill, perhaps due to a price increase, the quantity and quality of the food, the hospitality, and the atmosphere made it a place where I could visit with confidence. Being a restaurant associated with a luxury brand, the service is particularly attentive. I will definitely visit again.

I used a private room in a business setting, and the ambiance, service, and food were all perfect. The course meal was quite substantial, and by the time the chocolate treat was served at the end, I was already stuffed, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. As I left, they kindly gave me chocolate as a souvenir.

I finally managed to secure a reservation at the main dining restaurant of the newly opened Bulgari Hotel, which has been on my radar since it opened on April 4th this year! Stepping into the hotel felt like entering a different world. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant were simply stunning. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me forget I was in Tokyo. I was thoroughly satisfied with the top-notch hospitality, exquisite setting, and outstanding cuisine. Each dish was meticulously crafted and almost too beautiful to eat. One dish that left a lasting impression was the soup made entirely from vegetable extracts without any water. Despite its simple appearance, it was incredibly rich and packed with flavor. This restaurant, exceeding my already high expectations due to its Bulgari name, was absolutely fantastic. You can find more on Instagram @minatoku-torisetsu.

The combination of prosciutto and melon on the grissini for the appetizer was fantastic. You can add a main dish to go with the Genovese, but just having pasta at a ladies' lunch fills you up. For dessert, I chose the American cherry tart, which had the perfect sweetness with the chocolate, cream, and buttery tart crust.

Second visit to afternoon tea. I was able to spend a relaxing time here, and this time too, I had a leisurely and comfortable experience. Since I ran out of drinks when I chose coffee last time, I opted for tea this time. It was a good choice because they provide a large pot and refills, making the tea experience enjoyable. The soup, mini burgers, arancini, quiche... The savory items were freshly made and delicious, and even though the sandwiches were small, they were tasty. Of course, the sweet treats were delicious too. The chocolate tart was rich and the tart crust was crisp. The maritozzo had jam on top. The mini tart with American cherries was also delicious, making me feel like it's June. It's a perfect place for a girls' gathering.

Hello! Oh, wait, Buongiorno!! I am "Gourmet Star," your humble servant of food, catering to the refined palates of all you intellectual gourmets out there. Lately, I've been serving as the loyal attendant to your travel plans in France, Italy, and Switzerland, as evidenced by the LINE messages I've been receiving from you all. You really know how to make the most of my abilities... (ToT) I've just returned home and I'm still struggling with jet lag... I can't sleep... I can't seem to adjust to Japanese time... I've already binge-watched all of "Yellowstone" season 3 on U-NEXT... Time seems to be melting away from me (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾ Anyway, my senior colleague remarked, "You've been away for quite a while this time, two months in Switzerland and Italy, huh?" And I responded, "I do enjoy extended stays when traveling. I also spent about 10 days in France this time. Sorry for the late reply, I've been caught up." The senior colleague then said, "You didn't update your food blog at all this time. We were looking forward to it, you know, even just to make sure you were safe." And I replied, "I'm sorry, but every time I got into the groove of updating my reviews on the food app, the screen suddenly closed, and all the reviews I had written vanished into thin air. It happened five times in a row, and I got so frustrated with my own foolishness that I just gave up (cries)." The senior colleague responded, "Well, okay, but you know, people who go on European trips and then immediately crave Japanese food upon returning home are simply evidence that they didn't eat delicious local cuisine while abroad! You once passionately argued that those who immerse themselves in the culinary delights of Italy, France, or Switzerland will continue to crave the local cuisine even after returning to Japan, right? So today, I made sure we had Italian!" And I said, "Huh? Did I really say something so self-important? Well, I've always been brutally honest, so it's fine! (By the way, tomorrow will be French cuisine lol)" Oh, is that the Bulgari building in Ginza? It's lovely, isn't it? I look forward to the Bulgari "Serpenti" illuminations every year. Since 2011, BVLGARI has been under the umbrella of the LHMV Group. I've been away from Japan for about eight months from last year to this spring, and it seems like the era of affordable long-haul economy class flights has come to an end with the arrival of a prolonged period of yen depreciation. That feeling of freedom in economy class with a row of three seats all to yourself, being pampered by various flight attendants who kindly engage in conversation and the frequent complimentary upgrades to business class, as well as the complimentary upgrades to better rooms at any good hotel... those dreamy moments have come to an end with the easing of COVID restrictions this spring. To experience the same joy again, one would have to fly business class, but even then, on popular routes, it's already too crowded. Personally, I'm fine with economy class (aisle seat) as long as I'm traveling alone since I prefer to spend on local wines and cuisine. Business class vs. economy class + dinner at a three-star restaurant and fine wine? Definitely the latter, right? That's how I see it. But my senior colleague is such a thoughtful gourmet, isn't he? Despite what you might think, my intellectually refined followers, I actually quite like restaurants run by luxury brands in the city center. The reason is simple: Gone are the days of the dark ages when luxury brands flooded the market with poor-quality logo-centric designs around 1990. Nowadays, luxury brands know what "top quality" means. They tirelessly strive for the perfect fusion of design and quality, so you can rest assured of consistently excellent cuisine at their establishments. Now, after indulging in meats and fish to my heart's content in Italy and Switzerland, I feel like giving my stomach a break today. So, for today's lunch, I opted for the simplest pasta course: appetizer → pasta → dessert + post-meal beverage. It's within the 6,000 yen (tax included) range, and with the ambiance, it's quite popular among sophisticated adult women.

I had a late lunch at 2:00 PM because it was the only available time. Although it was a lunch setting, I ended up in the cafe on the 10th floor instead of the restaurant on the 9th floor. There's an open space, and you can see part of the 9th floor. The food is stylish and chic, but without photos, I had to imagine while choosing. The staff are all good-looking, as if they were hired to match the brand image. The desserts were delicious too.

Long time no visit. It had been so long that I almost forgot the taste. For this New Year's meal, we chose a proper place and ended up here. First of all... I was impressed. Evolution is... It's definitely tastier than before. It seems like it's not such a sweet world where customers come just because of brand power. The chef is Italian (apparently). The fact that an Italian can bring out such delicate flavors must be a result of extensive research. The appetizers had a good texture, the delicacy of the squid ink risotto, the tenderness of the meat... I can still recall the various textures. The service was also courteous, making me truly appreciate Bulgari's excellence. (It wasn't so... I wasn't this impressed before) It's truly wonderful. Thank you for the feast!

It was a very important dinner with someone special, celebrating with a luxurious meal. I don't usually go to such fancy restaurants, so I was feeling nervous. I was so focused on our conversation that I didn't remember the names of the dishes. For appetizers, there was a salad with persimmons and chicken, and a pasta dish with pumpkin. Then we had gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce, a fish dish that seemed like a white fish meunière, and a meat dish with cheese and potato fries. For dessert, there was Mont Blanc. Everything was delicious, including the champagne and white wine. The salad was probably the best part! 😄

I visited the collaborative dinner between Kyoto's Yoshikawa and BVLGARI! It was a rare opportunity to enjoy a meal with a large group around a long table, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Initially, I found the combination of Japanese and Italian cuisine curious, but dishes like grilled squid were surprisingly delicious. It was also a great chance to chat with people sitting nearby. I would love to visit again if there's another opportunity.

I used a voucher from Bulgari for lunch. I could choose from three appetizers and pastas. The salad looked like a piece of art, so beautifully presented. The taste was outstanding. The pasta, although a classic, had impeccable seasoning and was delicious. However, it felt a bit too ordinary, lacking excitement, so I give it 3 stars. (I feel sorry for the invitation, but that's my honest opinion.)

At the Bulgari Building, 9th floor restaurant in Ginza 2-chome intersection, amidst upscale brands, I had dinner tonight. Before entering, I glanced around the area and noticed that the most popular Louis Vuitton had entry restrictions, with chauffeur-driven luxury cars lined up in front of the store. Tonight, there was a collaborative event featuring our restaurant's chef, Luca Fanten, and Kyoto's Yoshikawa Toko-san, along with the founding president of Ca' del Bosco Franciacorta. I made a reservation through a Facebook notification. Interestingly, many of the customers seemed familiar, perhaps from the culinary world. Despite initial concerns about the prices, I simply wanted to enjoy the vintage Ca' del Bosco. They served not only sparkling but also still wines. The Chardonnay 2009 was rich with buttery nuances, and the red was excellent too! Toko-san personally prepared the dishes, adding finishing touches with sauces right at the table. The quality of ingredients and flavors surpassed the price.

I stopped by in the early evening on a weekday. There were still a few popular breads left, but I decided to try something different this time. It's considered one of the top Tokyo bakeries despite its small size and high prices, but with more bakeries popping up, it's getting harder to stand out. It's still delicious, but I'm starting to question if it's really worth the price.

I've been going there for years because I like it. It's not the best value for money (lol). Hotel restaurants are more reasonable. But the desserts are truly BVLGARI-esque. There are so many varieties of olives for the baguette. They have dishes with a Japanese touch, like Japanese-style plates.

I had a great time at the BVLGARI restaurant! The prawn and sea urchin pasta was superb, and the chocolate three-tiered box dessert was amazing. It was a delightful experience with the option to choose olive oil. I also received chocolate as a souvenir. ✨✨

Despite the unfortunate rain, I enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks, and I'm satisfied. The staff's service was attentive, but I felt it was a bit awkward to spread the bill on the table so that the amount was visible to everyone, including the lady, during payment. It was a place frequented by someone I admire, so I'm finally happy to have visited. Thank you very much!

I have purchased the strawberry dessert box several times at Bulgari Il Ristorante, but this was my first time dining at the restaurant! I checked in from behind the Bulgari store, and took an elevator to the upper floor. The space was incredibly luxurious and beautiful. I had the pasta lunch course, where you can choose your favorite items for appetizers, pasta, and dessert. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures, but the meal included a stylish box of assorted bread with olive oil. The salad, broccoli and tomato pasta, and an assortment of ice cream were delightful. The bread with leftover tomato sauce was surprisingly satisfying. The dessert, an assortment of ice cream, was surprisingly delicious! I think it had hazelnuts, and it was rich but not overwhelming, a unique and pleasant experience. Bulgari truly excels in sweets. I also want to come back for their delicious chocolates. This is a recommended place for a little luxurious lunch experience! ☺️

Bulgari's restaurant is like Chanel; you enter from the side and take a dedicated elevator to the upper floor. No reservation is needed for the higher-tier afternoon tea. The interior is narrow, not very dazzling, with Cartier and Chanel in sight. We started with a toast with champagne, and the squid ink pasta was surprisingly delicious. All dishes have a light and tasty flavor, with just the right amount of saltiness. The last assortment of small sweets was a nice touch. The drink menu is on an iPad. During this season, there is a Valentine's plate with chocolate as a souvenir. Thank you for the feast!

I visited a course priced at 13,000 yen alone! There were about three other groups of customers, but I was the only one dining alone. I ordered a 5-course meal with an additional request for cheese. The wine list had glasses priced at 3,000 yen and above, truly fitting for Bulgari. As a result, I enjoyed 5 glasses, including Château Margaux, and the bill turned out to be outrageous, but everything was delicious. Next time, I'll try the bar on the upper floor.

I visited BVLGARI Il Ristorante LUCA FANTIN, which is ranked 71st out of 100 in the 2021 Italian Tokyo Top 100 on Tabelog. It's located on the 9th floor of the Bulgari Tower in Ginza, and the exterior of the restaurant stands out prominently in Ginza. The interior is particularly impressive, with high ceilings and a luxurious atmosphere. For lunch, they offer two courses with a wide variety of dishes. Not only are the dishes beautifully presented, but the entire restaurant exudes a sense of luxury. From the breadsticks to the warm pumpkin soup, marinated prawns with cauliflower, homemade bread with three types of olive oil, scallops with root celery and consommé, spaghetti with sea urchin, fish dish with flounder and fennel, beef fillet with Jerusalem artichoke, to the dessert of mandarin orange, marinated persimmon with ice cream, and European sweets with espresso coffee, each dish showcases seasonal ingredients, Japanese vegetables, seafood, beef, authentic Italian cheese, and truffles. It's a stunning fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisines, complemented perfectly by the luxury and ambiance of Bulgari. Overall, it's an exceptional dining experience.
