This place was captivated by the elegant yet casual French cuisine, with a touch of sophistication in the phrase "casual" and the charming sound of "galsong". It's still a hidden gem with only 5 reviews on Tabelog, so it's a great find! Even the gourmet collector Galsonne finally made a long-awaited visit. We arrived just before 1 pm, but more and more customers kept coming in, showing its popularity! It's already becoming a hot topic. First, before looking at the menu, the staff offers a choice of cold or room temperature water. I chose cold water, which was served in a stylish bottle. I tried the "Quick Lunch (3 small tapas, pumpkin soup with coffee flavor, today's main dish, all-you-can-eat homemade bread) + drink". Here are my thoughts on the dishes:
- 3 small tapas (corn espuma, red pepper and sea urchin mousse, mini croissant): The espuma disappeared smoothly, the mousse melted gently, and the curry-flavored croissant left a lasting impression.
- Pumpkin soup with coffee flavor: Mixing the coffee and olives on top of the soup, the creamy pumpkin flavor spread in my mouth.
- Homemade bread (poppy seed, walnut and raisin): The poppy seed bread was slightly hard, while the walnut and raisin bread had a soft texture and was satisfying.
- Main dish of roasted Sakura Island chicken with creamy tomato sauce: The tomato sauce with butter foam on top, crispy potatoes as an accent, and various textures made it a delightful dish.
- Plain bread and seaweed bread: The warm and delicious breads were a nice surprise.
- Iced latte and mini macaron: The lunch set at 1,200 yen was very satisfying, and the latte paired well with the sweet macaron.
Most of the customers were ladies, but it's a comfortable space for men too. The hospitality was great, so I highly recommend it for a relaxing dining experience. A new French restaurant worth revisiting has opened in Sakaisuji Hommachi, so be sure to check it out!
