I wanted to have a special lunch, so I made a reservation at this restaurant. Surprisingly, I was able to get a reservation even the day before, possibly due to the impact of the coronavirus. When I arrived at the reserved time, the restaurant was almost full. I was glad I made a reservation. I ordered the Daniel course, which is a full course meal including meat and fish. There were about 5 options to choose from for each category. I chose the seafood crepe gratin for fish and the lamb for meat. The terrine for the appetizer was very satisfying. The lamb I ordered had a slightly unique smell, but it was very tender and delicious. Of course, the dessert was also satisfying. My stomach and heart were both full, and I felt that the price was justified for the quality. It's popular for a reason. The back semi-private room space was calming, so it may be a good idea to communicate your preference when making a reservation.

I went for lunch on July 28th. This place is really delicious. Every time I come, there are new discoveries and excitement. It is ranked as the number one French restaurant in Izumisano. It is a hidden gem that is also considered one of the "Big Four Izuminan French" restaurants. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the prices are reasonable compared to other places. I have also dined at the Riga Royal Hotel, but this place is much cheaper and tastier. Other people are also amazed and impressed when they try the food here. I never get tired of coming here, even twice a week. The luxurious appetizers and the sweet vegetable potage are a delight. The cold soup that starts in the second half of July is so delicious that it makes me want to come back just for that. The chef can turn any vegetable into a soup. Many regular customers come here for the pasta, and the recommended dishes are the "cold pasta" (amazingly delicious!) and the "squid mentaiko" and "shrimp tomato cream". The ranking of fish and meat dishes are as follows: Fish - (1) Oysters (only available in winter) (2) Scallops (3) Risotto (4) Crepe gratin (5) Abalone (6) Flatfish Meat - (1) Lamb (by far the best) (2) Beef fillet (3) Pork with blue cheese (4) Hamburger steak (5) Pork piccata (6) Beef tongue Overall, the dishes have a rich flavor, and the sweet and salty sauces bring out the sweetness of the vegetables. The three chicken dishes (confit, diable, tomato stew) are all light and flavorful. The highlight is the 2-3 changing and satisfying desserts. Currently, they have coconut mousse and mango ice cream, which are heavenly. In the past, they had amazing desserts like black honey pudding, creme brulee, and peach mousse, all of which melted in the mouth. If the "seasonal fish mille-feuille" and "beef cheek meat" become even more delicious, then there would be nothing left to say.

I went to have lunch. Even though I had made a reservation, the parking lot was full, so the staff instructed me to park sideways in front of the store. The lunch course was really worth it. I had the cheek meat, which was tender and delicious.

Lunch. Beef course, meat. Three-layer pork with blue cheese sauce. The sauce is delicious. Three desserts as well. Good value for money. 2200 yen.

This was my second visit to this restaurant. I had a great memory of the delicious lunch I had last time, so this time I went for dinner! I think it's a place where you can enjoy French cuisine without any pretentiousness. Personally, I was happy to be served hot oolong tea. I chose a set menu with two appetizers, soup, fish dish, meat dish, dessert, bread, and a choice of black tea or coffee.

"Completely Non-Smoking" This is a well-known French restaurant in the area that has been proudly displaying the French flag for quite some time. Many people may think, "French cuisine? Isn't it high-end?" and as a result, many locals are familiar with the restaurant but have never actually been inside. The French restaurant "French Workshop Daniel" is popular for its creative French cuisine, with a focus on locally sourced vegetables, locally caught fish, and high-quality meat. The three-appetizer platter is especially popular. Both lunch and dinner offer a variety of course options, with a choice of fish or meat, at reasonable prices. The homemade dessert platter that comes with the course is also extremely popular. I decided to visit this restaurant based on a review from a respected reviewer who mainly focuses on South Osaka. When I made a reservation, I requested a quiet table, and they kindly accommodated my request. The parking lot has expanded since my last visit, which is convenient for those who mainly travel by car in South Osaka. The interior of the restaurant, with its blue and white color scheme, has a nice atmosphere. Lunch offers a range of courses, from affordable options that include pasta to authentic French cuisine. Dinner focuses on authentic French dishes. The seating options include casual tables for those looking to enjoy a casual meal, as well as formal courses for those seeking a more elegant dining experience. The restaurant has a mix of families and couples, creating a stylish atmosphere for those looking to enjoy French cuisine. We were seated at a table at the back of the restaurant, which had a slightly private feel, making it perfect for a small celebration. The paintings on the walls added a nice touch to the blue and white color scheme of the interior. It seems like the restaurant is run by a husband and wife team. The husband appears to be in charge of the kitchen, while the wife manages the floor. Despite my initial concerns about the limited seating, the timing of the food delivery was excellent. Lunch has a more casual feel, with cutlery placed on the table. The cutlery is arranged neatly when serving and is presented in a basket for selection. The restaurant proudly displays a "Tabelog" sticker (a popular restaurant review website in Japan). It seems that they do not have a website, blog, or Twitter account, and rely solely on word-of-mouth for attracting customers, which is quite impressive. Daniel Course: Appetizer (2 varieties), Soup, Bread, Fish, Meat, Dessert, Coffee or Tea Appetizers: Avocado dip with shrimp, Cream cheese with red pepper jelly, Consomme with paprika Soup: Sweet potato soup Bread: Assorted bread (refills available) Fish: Pan-fried sea bream with mille-feuille, Sole meuniere with burnt butter sauce Meat: Duck leg confit, Beef tenderloin steak, Beef cheek in red wine sauce Dessert: Mango ice cream, Creme brulee, Assorted banana tart"

I ordered the Pasta Course and the Poisson Course. I chose Carbonara for the Pasta Course and Fish Risotto for the Poisson Course. The Carbonara was popular and made with fresh pasta, but it had an additional charge. The Carrot Soup was rich and delicious. All the dishes had strong flavors, which was unique for a French restaurant in this area. The dessert, Honey Ice Cream, was sweet and tasty, but after the rich meal, a lighter dessert would have been better. The Carbonara was the richest I've ever had.

Today we had lunch in Izumisano with four people, indulging in a little luxury during the day. We tried French cuisine in Minano! It seems that you can enjoy authentic French cuisine in the southern part of Osaka. The menu includes all prices with tax included: - Pasta Course: 1400 yen - Poisson Course (fish as the main dish): 2000 yen - Viande Course (meat as the main dish): 2200 yen - Daniel Course: 3500 yen I chose the tai (sea bream) risotto from the Poisson Course. The other three people each chose a different meat dish. Starting from the appetizers, everything was great. The salmon and pork shabu-shabu looked amazing and the colors were stimulating. The avocado dip and eggplant flan were cool and perfect for summer. The cold cream of daikon soup was surprisingly delicious with the creamy taste and daikon flavor. The tai risotto had a crispy yet moist texture, creating a harmonious dish. We ended the meal with mango ice cream and drinks, leaving all of us very satisfied with our lunchtime. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Every time I go to Inunakiyama Onsen, I always stop by this restaurant. You can enjoy French cuisine in a casual setting. The course includes appetizers, soup, bread, main dish, dessert, and a drink at a reasonable price. The appetizers are always three different kinds, and the seasonal vegetable mousse is particularly excellent. For the main dish, you can choose from several options of meat and fish, making it difficult to decide each time. I often find myself debating between trying something new or going with a dish I've enjoyed before, but I trust the restaurant because everything is delicious. After trying the dish, I always end up satisfied with my choice. Izumisano is a refreshing place with the sea and mountains nearby. This restaurant in Izumisano is definitely worth a visit. That's all.

Visited again on 13/9, this time trying the second course from the top. Simple and delicious without any gimmicks. The portion size was good. This French restaurant is located about an 8-minute walk from JR Hinekono Station. It's not very noticeable, so you might not even realize it if you drive past. The parking lot can fit around 10 cars, but it's not very spacious. Also, it's a bit unclear whether the restaurant is open or not at times. I recommend making a reservation before visiting. I went for dinner and they only offer set courses at different price points. I chose a course around 5000 yen for that day. The dishes were quite elaborate and the French cuisine was well-executed. The flavors were good and the portions were generous. It's like a mix between authentic French and homely bistro-style. The chef even bid us farewell as we left, leaving me with a desire to visit again. Depending on the amount you spend, this hidden gem of a restaurant can be used for casual dining or for a slightly more special meal.

I visited a very popular restaurant in the local area. The interior looks like a cafe, but they play classical music as background music. I was surprised. I ordered the pasta course for 1,300 yen, which included soup, today's pasta, bread, and coffee. I also added a crab and shrimp, lobster cream sauce pasta for an additional 400 yen. My partner added a dessert for an extra 350 yen. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On October 28, 2011 (Friday), I made a reservation and went to the restaurant. Despite being in my local area, I always seem to get lost on the way there (tears). It's on a major road, but for some reason, I always end up turning too early. Despite the slightly confusing location, the restaurant remains popular. And every time, even though I want to eat pasta, I end up choosing the meat course. Even though I know that the pasta is not included in the course, I still went for the meat course and even paid an extra 300 yen for beef this time. It's a bit annoying that the regular price of 1,900 yen for pork or chicken becomes 2,200 yen for beef! It's a bit extravagant for lunch, but it's payday today, so why not splurge a little! The meal consisted of appetizers, meat, bread, dessert, and it was delicious as always. Finally, after multiple failed attempts, I was able to make a reservation at Daniel. I'm not good with commitments, so I prefer not to be bound by time. I visited the restaurant without a reservation on a weekday afternoon, only to be turned away. But to my surprise, the place was full even though it's a remote location. I was curious! So, I kept calling for reservations on weekdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but it was always fully booked. I know that calling on the same day is not the best approach, but I don't like making reservations in advance. I managed to make a reservation for 1:00 PM after calling in the morning. The place was indeed full. Despite the remote location with no other restaurants around, it was crowded. The lunch options included a 1,300 yen pasta lunch, a 1,700 yen fish course, and a 1,900 yen meat course. I opted for the meat course. I really wanted to eat pasta, but I also craved meat. This course did not include pasta. The meal included appetizers, soup, bread, meat dish, dessert, and coffee. The appetizers were cute and varied. The meat was pork loin with cheese sauce, tender and delicious. The vegetables were also diverse. The dessert had three options, and the coffee was a nice finish to a satisfying meal. It's not a cheap lunch, but indulging in French cuisine like this once in a while is worth it. However, the crowdedness... it doesn't feel like a once-in-a-while thing. Do people visit this restaurant regularly? Next time, I want to go for the pasta, but the reservation...

I went with a friend who lives in Sennan to Nane-no, which is about an hour away by train. We visited the French restaurant "Daniel" for the first time, attracted by its high ratings on Tabelog. After getting a bit lost walking in the opposite direction from the station, we called the restaurant when it was time for our reservation. The staff kindly agreed to accommodate our delay, for which we were grateful. We finally arrived 15 minutes late to our reservation time after walking towards the sea side. The restaurant was almost full with mostly female customers. We ordered the following items: Pasta Lunch for 1,300 yen, with an additional 400 yen for the limited special of snow crab and lobster sauce, and an extra 350 yen for dessert, bringing the total to 2,050 yen. Although a bit pricey, it was a luxurious lunch experience. The Pasta Lunch included clam chowder, pasta, bread (butter), dessert assortment, and black tea. The clam chowder was light and comforting, and the pasta was rich with a delicious lobster sauce and plenty of snow crab. The dessert assortment was beautifully presented and all homemade, with favorites being the mango pudding. The restaurant had a charming interior, a serene atmosphere, and friendly staff who provided detailed explanations of the dishes. Surprisingly, the 1,700 yen fish course that my friend ordered also included the same dessert assortment. The main dish, a pan-fried white fish with seafood risotto, was also delicious. I would love to revisit this wonderful restaurant if given the chance. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Today I went to lunch with Mr. Daniel Hinekono. I heard that it is always crowded at this popular restaurant, so I made a reservation. We arrived at the restaurant at 11:30. The parking lot, which can accommodate about 8 cars, was already full by 11:30. The interior of the restaurant is bright and has a nice atmosphere, making it a good choice for special occasions. It was quite cold that day, so we were seated near the window where they provided knee blankets. Such consideration was great. The lunch menu had three options. Today, I chose the 1300 yen pasta lunch and a 350 yen dessert. The pasta lunch included bread, potato potage soup, pasta (I chose the seafood tomato sauce pasta), and coffee (or tea). The dessert had honey ice cream, mango pudding, cheesecake, fruits, etc. First, the soup was served. It warmed up my body that was chilled from the cold. The pasta had plenty of seafood chunks and a good amount of pasta, providing a satisfying meal. The creamy tomato sauce complemented the dish perfectly and was very delicious. The dessert plate had a variety of items, making it visually appealing and delicious. I was very full and satisfied. I would like to visit this restaurant again. Thank you for the meal.

I chose a meat-based course from Nichinoy's "French Atelier Daniel" lunch menu! The cauliflower mousse and shoe tongue tartare were delicious! The mousse was unexpectedly tasty. The other appetizer seemed to have used carrots, but I can't remember what it was. I chose the pork with blue cheese sauce as the main dish, which was surprisingly light and delicious. The duck seemed even more delicious, so I'll try that next time. The dessert assortment included green apple mousse, chocolate cake, and chamomile ice cream. The chamomile ice cream left a light fragrance in the mouth and was delicious! I'm so full and satisfied~~~

The second restaurant visited while in Sennan. It was pouring rain that day, but luckily we were able to enter the restaurant without a reservation. I chose a non-alcoholic beer to accompany my meal. The course menu offered a choice between fish and meat, and I was intrigued by the meat options, so I ordered the duck confit while my friend ordered the Kishu Ume chicken diable. The seafood salad appetizer was visually appealing and delicious. The next dish was a unique combination of chicken, chestnut, and corn husk wrapped and baked in the oven with fried sweet potatoes on top. It was a beautiful and tasty dish that captured the essence of autumn. The main course was the bone-in duck, which was surprisingly tender and easy to eat. It was served with cauliflower and what seemed like taro underneath, with finely chopped vegetables and dressing on top. The desserts included rum raisin cream, persimmon tart, and fruit jelly, all of which were delightful. The fruit jelly was particularly refreshing after the meal. Overall, the restaurant had a good cost-performance ratio and a beautiful, calm atmosphere. The only downside was that there was only one knife and fork provided for the entire course, which made it a bit inconvenient when transitioning between dishes. I hope this is improved in the future visits.
