0322 028.jpgランチメニューではフレンチっぽいものがなく、焼き魚ランチ(目鯛)のソースは何ですかって聞いたら、和風っていうんで、がっかりしたけど、出た時はすごくハッピー!でも、ソースはしょうゆよりバターの味がするんだけど。(^^;)カブなど茹でた野菜とポテトグラタンで結構ボリュームがあるのに、ライスも付くし、でかいサラダ(チーズ入り!)も付くし、コーヒーといちごが最後に、全部で1000円!安い!わたしでもお腹いっぱい~~
クスクス
How strange it has a French and an Italian flag hanging outside at the same time. The lunch menu is like beef stew, omelette rice, curry, pasta, and grilled fish, which I ordered. It came with rice as well - gosh I was stuffed. I was the only customer cos it was past 1pm already, but the chef just hid inside the kitchen and only came out to bring me food so I could eat quite comfortably, reading, and not really reading, a magazine while eating, pretending to be a local, haha.

Yeah exactly! Hate expensive pretentious stingy-portion restaurants. Maybe people who care more about trend and style than taste of food will like them, or maybe it is weight-watching, which I don't care. ^^;;;;

Actually when I saw the menu I was disappointed how boring the food sounded, I asked the chef what was the sauce for "grilled fish", he said "Japanese", I asked, "Is there anything more French?" He was all puzzled and said "No". I expected really Japanese styled grilled fish with soybean sauce, but it turned out completely different. It is so often that fancy names turn out to be really common nothing-special food, it is nice that in little family-owned bistro it is the opposite.

Very family cooking feel, that's the feeling I got (and the big portion comfy food). I like that, especially after too many disappointing pretentious slick trendy restaurant (which you rarely go) ^^;;;

Very cheap indeed! But big chunks of potato gratin + big plate of rice + grilled sweet potato in one lunch meal was just too much starch~~~~~^^;;

It was very dark inside with orangy lighting but I sat near the window with a little of light coming in but since it was raining so the light was kinda grey/blue...hence the purple maybe.
