グアヤキル、￥５５６。 タルト・オ・ショコラ、￥４７２。
Guayaquil(bitter chocolate cake). Tarte aux chocolat(bitter chocolate tart).
This branch is inside Tokyo Midtown which was very busy on a Saturday and we waited for more than half an hour for the seats.
Menu here.
ショコラ フランボワーズ、￥６３０。
ロンシャン ショコラ ノワール（軽いメレンゲとショコラムースをアーモンド入り ビターチョコレートでコーティング）、￥６３０。
Chocolat framboise - Chocolate cake with raspberry.
Longchamps Chocolat Noir - Light meringue and chocolate mousse cake with almond and bitter chocolate coating.
This branch is inside Isetan Shinjuku. About 20 mins of queuing for seats on a Saturday.
I like all the cakes except Guayaquil and Tarte aux chocolat which I wish had richer chocolate taste. The Earl Grey tea costs 945yen a pot but it is very diluted, and the house blend tea tasted weird… Was planning to buy the marron confit to take home but the queue for take-out(separate queue for take-out and eat-in) is very long so I just tried one piece inside the cafe.
Menu: 1, 2.
I also bought Seigle auvergnat (orange) from Be and it is absolutely delicious! It has stores in Midtown and Isetan Shinjuku, both are on the same floor as Jean-Paul Hévin.
A small pizza place with only 12 counter seats and a small table for 2.
オリーブ。タコのじゃがいものサラダ。
Olive(525yen). Octopus and potato salad(840yen).
蜂の巣のトマト煮込み。ロール白菜のサルッシッチャ 鶏のブイヨン仕立て。
Trippa simmered with tomato(1050yen). Cabbage Salsiccia in chicken bouillon(945yen).
マルゲリータ（モッツァレッラ・バジリコ）。 マリナーラ（ニンニク・オレガノ）。
Margherita(Mozzarella and basil). Marinara(Garlic and oregano). Both are 1575yen.
There are only two kinds of pizza available even at dinner time, but the lack of optons doesn’t matter because the pizzas are just amazingly good. I am happy to just eat the wonderfully soft crust on its own. My friends prefer Margherita so we ordered a second of that but I love Marinara just as much.
On the other hand, from the prices of the appetizers, I just couldn’t believe how small the portions turned out to be. Even though they tasted good but they are still totally overpriced. The pizzas are reasonable in price though.
The espresso(with sugar already added) was recommended by the staff who said that it is “creamy”(without cream or milk added) and people who normally don’t like coffee will like it - it is probably good espresso but it is so disgustingly sweet that I gave up after one sip. They don’t have caffe latte or cappuccino, otherwise I would have asked for a cup of hot milk to dilute the “espresso syrup”.
3 of us shared all the food(we ordered 3 pizzas) plus drinks(about 2 glasses each), the bill was 4000yen per person. I will go back for the delicious pizzas but I will remember not to order too many appetizers. They do pizza lunch too so that is probably a good deal.
Menu: 1, 2.

あつあつ！内臓と野菜のココット焼きスープ。
From the 4200yen lunch course which includes amuse-bouche, two appetizers, main dish, dessert and coffee.
The giblets and vegetables soup is my friend’s appetizer.
本日のジビエ（蝦夷鹿・ホロホロ鳥・フォアグラ）のパテ・アン・クルート。
フォアグラのステーキ、ブルーチーズのリゾット添え（＋５２５円）。
My two appetizers. Pate en Croute with venison, guinea fowl and foie gras.
Foie gras steak with blue cheese risotto - this really hit the spot~~XD
茨城チェリーポークの天火焼き、マスタードソース。
Ibaraki cherry pork in mustard sauce. The pork is very soft with thin layers of fat streaked with the meat(marbling) so that each bite is juicy with well-balanced amount of meat and fat. Dessert is pear sorbet and honey ice-cream.
This place is all for meat-lovers! A bit on the salty side but it is okay with me. The chef used to be a boxer apparently(and he does look like one - very friendly guy though!), which explains the meat-centric menu. He was telling us that he always feel sad when female customers can’t finish all the food on their plates(what a waste!) so he was glad that we finished everything. ^^;;;
Only opens for lunch on Saturday; lunch menu is basically the same as dinner menu but only slightly smaller in portions(not small at all). The cheaper lunch course is 2940yen consisting of one appetizer instead of two, but the portion for each dish is a bit bigger. The restaurant is about 10mins walk from Roppongi station. It was just us, and another table of two on the Saturday we went, which got me a bit worried at first. Turned out the food was good!

Egg Benedict. I have been wanting to try the Egg Benedict in this place for so long but somehow never got around to it. The quality doesn’t disappoint at all! The best I have eaten so far(not that I’ve tried that many).
