The room is an un-
pretentious little
basement with a long
counter and six tiny
tables, but the food
is simply superb -
creative, light-
hearted French cui-
sine prepared by a
master. The foie
gras on daikon appe-
tizer features large
slabs of foie gras
and lightly stewed
daikon, perfectly
balanced in flavor.
There's also an
outstanding foie
gras and duck confit
main course served
in a bed of mashed
potatoes and leeks,
and rather amazing
lamb chops in mus-
tard sauce. Some of
the desserts, like
the banana flambee,
are a major theatri-
cal production. The
best deal is Y3500
for a three-course
dinner that you'd
expect to pay much
more for. Wines
start at Y2500 and
reach very high
levels. Lunches
start at Y1000.
