Being a French restaurant, I wanted to try either the galette or the red wine beef tongue stew. The other lunches were more Japanese, such as the pork katsu, chicken teppan yaki, or the fish fry; however they did have a twist such as the cheese, garlic and tomato sauces respectively accompanying the main. I went with the galette lunch (all lunches are 850円 with drink bar, and include either a salad and soup, or miso soup and rice). I was especially happy to be able to order a half glass of wine for an extra 150円) just to make my meal seem more French! The salad was lightly dressed with a mild flavored vegetable oil and a bit of vinegar and salt. None of which we're overpowering so it was a nice side to the main. The soup was also well controlled in the sodium level, the bits of bacon infused its flavor nicely.
The galette had a good crispness and toastiness. The seafood cream, with shimeji, shrimps and scallops was thick but not heavy in flavour which was actually a good thing because I could still taste the galette's toasty char.
The Jay-z and Justin Timberlake playing in the background was a bit confusing but gave the restaurant a modern and young appeal.
