Petit fours wagon…
You can order as much as you like…
The kind of famous and prestigious “grand maison” that everyone knows. My first time here and I was really excited about it. But let me just say it first: the food is good, but it is not that mind-blowingly impressive. The lobster royale is the highlight of the whole meal for me. The dessert is a bit disappointing. The petit fours wagon is very exciting and fun but all the sweets taste cheap. ^^;;; Atmosphere is fantastic. So fantastic that we stayed for 4 hours…the staff are efficient and professional, not exactly warm and welcoming but they make you very comfortable. Strange though that there were 10 of us, but the butter and the candies were all in 4 sets. Also we wanted to take the leftover sweets home but they would only give us 3 paper bags…why so stingy??
My friend’s blog entry here. Much nicer pictures than mine.

L’OSIER
昔懐かしナポリタン、９００円。カキフライ（３個）、６００円。
Old fashioned “Spaghetti Naporitan”. Ingredients are bacon, ham, onion, bell pepper, mushroom. Sauce is tomato ketchup. I seldom order this even though every yoshoku place has it on the menu. But it is quite nice once in a while~. Fried oysters are very good too.
洋食 GOTOO
サモサ。マトンカレーとナン。
Samosa, mutton curry, naan. 1500yen. Samosa is good. The rest is okay. The naan is strong with butter. I only ordered naan but the cook said there was leftover rice so he just added it for free. He also said there was a leftover egg so he put into the mutton curry as well….other than the samosa everything tasted very “leftover” actually…^^;;;;
Bengal Cafe
カシューナッツと鶏肉炒め定食、７５０円。
