The Crescent (クレッセント)
An old French restaurant which has been around for ages. The "cheapest" lunch course was 8000yen. (N.B. This place has stopped doing lunch now)
フォワグラのムース。
Foie gras mousse. Rich-tasting.
Bread is warm and so delicious that I had three.
オマール海老のサラダ仕立て。
カブのクリームスープ。
Lobster salad. Very fresh lobster.
Turnip soup.
アンコウのポワレ パルサミックのグラッサージュ。
温かいチョコレートケーキ。
Pan-fried Anko(angler fish) with balsamico vinegar sauce.
Warm chocolate cake and vanilla ice-cream. Warm chocolate sauce at the centre.
プティフール。
Petit fours. The sugar-coated little tomatoes are very nice. Madeleine are warmed.
A cute box for us to take home the little sweets that we couldn't finish. So cute!
Overall the food is not bad, but you basically get your money's worth from the classic interior and nice atmosphere.

Decades ago when French restaurants were not common at all, this place must have been popular? Nowadays you can get pretty cheap and good quality French food easily, it is amazing that this place still survive!

Haha this place seems to epitomize the regal, beautiful & elegant FRENCH stereotypical Japanese has. The sweets are oldschool and classic feel too (not the fancy mousse cake from the 90s French boom). The lobster salad looks good. But yeah other than that, the menu seems a little too 'classic'.
