I read the review from the reviewer Emon★Sweet Hunter and decided to visit this place because of the friendly and smart Border Collie. The location is not somewhere you would just happen to pass by. From Daikanyama Station, it's a 2-3 minute walk if you go through the address alley next to Fukushoan (soba restaurant) after exiting the north exit gate. Coming from Sarugakucho, you can go up the red stairs before the parking lot, turn right following the arrow, and you will reach the place. When I entered, the Border Collie named Sabu-chan came down the stairs making a clicking sound with his nails, but he seemed tired with his tail down and quickly went upstairs. I was guided to my preferred seat, which was at the counter facing the wall with Gloomy and sheep drawings. I ordered the following items: - Chocolat et Grand Marnier Sucré 700 yen - Café au lait 600 yen The Sucré had a not too sweet dough, probably made with the same galette dough as for meals. It had two types of chocolate, tablet and shaved, both on the bitter side with restrained sweetness. I wished the Grand Marnier flavor was stronger. The Café au lait was served in a bowl with fluffy foamed milk on top, making it smooth and delicious. When I was leaving, the owner said "Thank you!" and Sabu-chan came down again to see me off. He seemed tired and yawned... I thought "Sabu" was such a Japanese-style name for a boy! But maybe it was Sabrina? I hope to see a lively Sabu-chan next time. Sabu-chan contributed to the high rating. The illustration of a woman and a dog in Emon★Sweet Hunter's photo is not Sabu-chan, but the dog in the photo in front of the door from 2011. Perhaps the first Sabu-chan...

This is truly a "hidden gem cafe". While there are many places called "hidden gems" in the world, there are few that truly deserve the title like the crepe specialty store "L'Esadbee" in Daikanyama. The location is really hard to find. I mean, it's so hard to find that you might think, "How am I supposed to find this place?" You have to cross the Aoyama-dori street, head towards Daikanyama, but it's not facing the street, it's tucked away down a narrow side street. And there's no big sign on the side street. It looks like private property, so you might get scolded if you enter without knowing it's a shop. It's a location where no customer would accidentally stumble upon. It's amazing that they decided to do business in such a place. As a result, there are only 2 reviews on Tabelog (as of December 2018). I wanted to explore it, so I went there. As expected, I got quite lost... well, I mean, I got really lost, but I managed to arrive. Please refer to the photos for directions. It's really hard to explain in words. The shop looks like a renovated private house. The entrance looks like a regular household entrance. Inside, there was a woman... and a Border Collie dog. Yes, the biggest feature of this shop is this dog. The Border Collie dog greets you and runs around inside the shop. It's incredibly friendly. It doesn't bark at all, it's calm, and very smart. It doesn't mind being touched, it even comes to you. You can touch and pet it as much as you want. Its fur is fluffy. This is heaven for dog lovers. Below is what I ate: - Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms & Various Mushrooms Crepe: A crepe cooked very thinly. The folded part is crispy, with a light saltiness. In the center, there is a mushroom paste with chicken and shiitake mushrooms. The shiitake mushrooms are super thick! The overflowing mushroom juice from inside is amazing. The mushroom paste is also creamy. It's light and easy to eat. The dog doesn't come near while you're eating. It's really smart. It approaches you again after you finish eating. It even sees you off when you leave. Dog lovers must visit this place. Thank you for the meal!

I encountered a hidden gem cafe in Daikanyama, Creperie et Cafe L.C.d.B. To enter, you take a side street off El Se de Bey Street and walk down a narrow alley. A dog is the landmark, warmly welcoming you without barking or jumping, just happily coming to your side. They offer ice tea and herbal tea, as well as savory and sweet crepes. From the sweet options, I tried Cinnamon & Brown Sugar for 600 yen and Syrup (ginger honey) & Fermented Butter for 700 yen. The crepes were soft and had a nice aroma of buckwheat flour. The syrup was delicious, so I even took a small bottle home. They said if you put it in milk tea, it becomes like chai, which made me curious to try it as I love chai. It's a small, quiet, cozy cafe where even the dog takes a nap during the day. The well-behaved Border Collie doesn't beg for food when it's served. But when I left, it said goodbye properly. It was a lovely meal. Check out my blog for more details. Please stop by: http://ameblo.jp/springlshower7032/entry-11808820360.html

I wanted to eat a real galette, so I went to "L.C.d.B" (El Cédébé). The restaurant is located in a place where it is impossible to visit freely, which made me realize that it must be a very authentic place! Even before tasting the food, the charm of the restaurant was clearly evident, with a Border Collie named Sabu-chan freely roaming around the place (laughs). So, I would not recommend it to those who dislike dogs, but on the contrary, it is highly recommended for dog lovers! First, I tried the cider. La Bouche en Cull (700 yen). Since it is a specialty store, it is not served in a glass. Is this cider quite popular among others? I have seen it at Caldi before. Next, I tried the Complé (1,200 yen), which is a galette made with buckwheat flour, Jambon Blanc (ham), Gruyère cheese, and egg. It was really authentic and different from a certain famous store (laughs). The dough was amazing. The buckwheat flavor was rich, perfectly baked, fluffy, and didn't have any burnt taste. The ham had a fragrant aroma, rich flavor, and paired perfectly with Emmental cheese. The quality of the accompanying vegetables was also high, and you could feel the attention to detail in all the ingredients. I also tried the Spring Cabbage and Anchovy Galette (1,000 yen, visited in March). The quality of the ingredients and the level of cooking were high, so it was naturally delicious. For dessert, I had the Sucré, which was made with fermented butter and brown sugar (500 yen). To be able to eat such quality for only 500 yen is truly a blessing. The butter was made by Echire? Or Bordier? (Bordier is currently banned for export, so it can no longer be eaten in Japan). Lastly, I had the Baked Apple and Mascarpone Galette. Just by looking at the picture and the name, do I really need to describe the taste? Well, in any case, with so much attention to detail, it was really delicious... but I might not recommend it to everyone. Especially since the dough was on a completely different level compared to other stores, when I shared my feedback with the chef, he said, "I've never had a delicious galette dough even in Paris." Galettes are a dish meant to make unappetizing buckwheat flour taste delicious, so the dough is secondary. We had some geeky conversations, maybe that's why the chef said, "I don't get much positive feedback from customers about the taste." Well, that's obvious! But I answered properly, "Not many people can understand this level of quality, it's too high!" In the end, if you want to increase the number of customers, it might be better to improve the location (advertising) rather than the taste.
