Most of the above are cheap lunch sets available from Mon to Sat, but some are from holiday lunch menu. I think the food is nice in general - there were days when the food wasn’t that great but it’s cheap and the staff are friendly. My favouritess from the weekday menu are: Hainan Chicken Rice(deep fried version), Fried chicken in Special Chilli sauce, Lontong, Fried Hokkian Mee, Singapore Curry Noodles, Laksa Prawn Beancurd. Favourites from the holiday lunch menu are: Seafood soy sauce fried noodles, Laksa Fried Rice, Char Kway Teow, Singapore Mee Goreng, Black Pepper Fried Rice. For dessert, Durian Ice-cream is the best. Yam ice-cream is good too.

Menu: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.

The photos are from two amazing dinner I had in this bistro specialised in “gibier”(game meat). I’ll write the details later but the wild boar(”inoshishi”) is a must get. For me, gibier cuisine has been expensive and hit-and-miss experiences so far, but everything I had in this bistro was fantastic and it was inexpensive and every yen worth it.

I’m quite impressed by this place! Honestly I wasn’t expecting high for this place because it’s located on the top floor of a department store(Daimaru Tokyo) and we could easily get a table for a weekend lunch even though we only booked the night before….but I was surprised by how high the quality of the food was. Appetizer, main, dessert….everything was so well prepared and delicious. Plus we got a table next to the window and had a nice view over the streets. All of that for about Y4000(including a glass of champagne which was reasonably priced). Incredible value!

Menu 1, 2.

Brasserie Paul Bocuse Tokyo Daimaru

All the above are from the 4000 yen dinner course which includes 2 appetizers, 1 main dish and dessert.

Went on a Sunday evening and we were the only customer throughout the whole night. I read from some food blogs beforehand that it’ll get quite expensive if you order from the a la carte, and the set course is of better value. So even though the waiter was a little overly eager to recommend us the a la carte and even said that “the set course might be a bit small in portion”, we ordered the set course anyway. And he was not lying, the portion was a little small. The taste was not bad in general, considering the price, but the service was kinda spotty - there weren’t that many options to choose from the set course and not all of us could choose what we wanted because they could only provide limited portions for each choice. After some compromising among us and we had decided our choices, they told us that they had mistaken the number of available portions, and such confusion happened not just once but twice….

Le Cafe Plus A

Menu here.

神田きくかわ

食事　 秋鮭いくら御飯・ふり柚子
菓子　 本日のデザート
The “meal” course: Rice with autumn salmon and salmon roe. Soup is not included.
Dessert: Mont blanc

Everything above is included in the Y3800 dinner course. The food is nothing too fancy but tastes good. At first I thought Y3800 was unbelievably cheap for a full course but the portion turned out to be a bit small(even in Japanese standard). The staff did ask us if we wanted additional order from the a la carte menu before bringing us the rice course but we said no. We ended up going to “nemo cafe” which was nearby and had pastry and dessert and coffee.

The course menu can be found in the restaurant’s homepage and I found out too late that you can pre-order the store-made chiffon cake for special occasions.

As I said before I tend to stay away from chain/franchise food joints so I never tried this Japanese style cafe even though I walked past its branch in Ochanomizu many times. But one day I gave its parfait a try and…..I loved it!! ^^;;; I’ve been going back again and again in the past few months and tried many items from the sweet/food/drink menu; “Black sesame seed gateau chocolat parfait” and “Kakuni and hotspring-egg donburi”(the two pics above) are my favourite sweet and food item respectively. For the rest, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

I love the black sesame seed ice-cream the most(more than green tea ice-cream or red bean ice-cream) and the sweet red bean paste is black sesame flavour too and is very good.
