L'Artemis Petillante (ラルテミス・ペティアント)

5250yen 4-course dinner has the choice of either: 2 appetizers+main+dessert, or appetizer+fish+meat+dessert. I had the later. There is also a 3990yen course which is the basic 3-course meal: 1 appetizer, 1 main and 1 dessert. The portion for each dish is slightly bigger for the 3 course dinner compared to the 4-course one.

フォアグラのポワレといちじくのロースト（＋６３０円）。

Foie gras and roasted fig(+630yen).

本日の魚のポワレ（カレイ） 丸ナスの厚切りローストとシェリーヴィネガーとケッパーのソースで。
フランス産 小鴨のヘーゼルナッツ焼き（＋６３０円）。
Pan-fried "karei" flat fish, roasted aubergine, sherry vinegar and caper sauce.
Grilled baby duck with hazelnut(+630yen).

本日のスフレ（洋ナシ）。
Pear Souffle and pear sorbet.

The food are not impressive but not bad in general. The roasted fig is really nice though the duck is a bit normal. Many of the tempting choices in the menu have additional charges, like the foie gras and the duck. But the boring-sounding options without additional charges actually look good too so maybe it is best to stick to the basic options for better value. Tax is included and the service charge is 7%. Unfortunately the service is far from great - try to get the manager to explain the menu cos the waitress is not so helpful. Glass wine is less 800~900yen. Location is a bit inconvenient - about 10 mins from Harajuku station if you don't get lost.

Menu(J): 1, 2, 3, 4.
