I passed by this shop before and was attracted by its lovely exterior. I wanted to celebrate my birthday here, so my friend treated me. The building is a designated tangible cultural property in Tokyo and is also used for weddings. The atmosphere is classical and elegant, recommended for those who appreciate ambiance. The dinner course we had was the "Saison" course for ¥8,500, featuring seasonal ingredients and organic vegetables. The current course includes: Amuse-bouche: Foie gras macaron, Appetizer 1: Amberjack, Appetizer 2: King oyster mushroom, Main 1: Monkfish beignet with turnips, Main 2: Grilled duck with seasonal mushrooms and pumpkin, Dessert: Strawberry and ginger fromage. Everything was delicious, and there were surprises like the dishes being served in plastic bags for aroma enjoyment. The desserts were especially cute! There is a free plate service for celebrations, but for a more elaborate celebration, the Anniversary course with a whole cake might be better. The afternoon tea is also adorable and perfect for photos. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ★

Visited "La Maison Kioi" in Kioicho, a French restaurant located in "Akasaka Classic House." This was my first time hearing about "Akasaka Classic House," and I was invited to a lunch gathering. The charming Western-style building has a good sense of design and is designated as a tangible cultural property in Tokyo. As I walked around, I saw many couples having wedding consultations, giving off a happy vibe. The atmosphere is perfect for weddings, resembling a house mansion. We were seated in a private room for the lunch gathering, where the "Lunch Full Course" (7700 yen including tax) had already been ordered. Here is the course in order: - Chilled corn soup with bitter gourd: A sweet corn soup with a hint of bitterness from the bitter gourd. - Salad with Amakusa Miyabi sea bream ceviche: A refreshing salad with white fish and tangy dressing. - Traditional onion gratin: A classic onion gratin with a harmonious blend of cheese, bread, and onions. - Pan-seared swordfish with Piperade sauce: A rare-cooked swordfish with a flavorful sauce and sweet Inca corn. - Roasted Akagi Wagyu beef with king oyster mushroom: Tender Wagyu beef steak with a well-cooked sauce and large king oyster mushroom. - Dessert: I chose mango pudding with coconut ice cream, a delightful combination. Overall, it was a traditional French meal with elegant flavors. The dishes were refined and enjoyable. The restaurant seems versatile for various occasions, and I would consider returning. The bill was settled with a credit card, and I found the price reasonable for the quality of food. It was delicious, and I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the meal.

A friend made a reservation for a group, so I requested a private room. There are several private rooms available, and the one we got was fantastic with a bright atmosphere and a view of a green courtyard from the window. The whole place has been carefully maintained while preserving its vintage charm. Dining in this beautiful building alone is worth it. - Chilled onion soup: A delicious soup with a strong sweetness and richness. - Amakusa-caught sea bream ceviche: A marinated dish with a rounded acidity. - Onion gratin: A hot gratin with a cool touch, a unique combination. - Pan-seared swordfish with piperade sauce: The sauce is similar to ratatouille, with the difference being the addition of a spicy flavor from espelette pepper. Unfortunately, the swordfish was a bit dry. - Roti of Akagi beef from Gunma prefecture with king oyster mushroom: An absolutely delicious dish with high-quality meat cooked perfectly. - Dessert: Melon flesh and ice cream, with various options to choose from. The service was a bit awkward at times, but the staff's effort was evident. This restaurant, which also hosts weddings, has a luxurious atmosphere yet offers reasonable prices. It's a great place for a girls' night out. In addition to lunch and dinner, they also offer afternoon tea and a bar, making it suitable for various occasions.

(Lunch) [Full Course Lunch] I enjoyed a total of 6 dishes starting with a fancy appetizer. - The amuse-bouche cold soup was very sweet and delicious. The crispy texture of the bitter melon was also tasty. - The main dish of Japanese beef was very tender and delicious. The seasoning with pepper and sauce was also good. - The bread was very soft. - The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice.

We had a wonderful meal at a lovely house restaurant to celebrate a family birthday. We opted for the La Maison course (4500 yen) which included a peach parfait dessert (+500 yen, limited quantity reservation required). The cold soup was corn, with a side of bitter melon pickles. The cold dish was a marinated sea bream ceviche. The warm specialty was pumpkin granita. For the main course (choice of), we had swordfish with piriñato sauce (paprika and tomato) and Inca wake-up potatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed mango pudding with coconut sorbet and a half-sized peach parfait. Every dish was delicious and meticulously prepared. When we mentioned it was a birthday celebration, they even prepared a birthday plate for us. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great with spacious seating arrangements. We would love to visit again as we have found a new favorite restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

First visit to Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho 4th floor, or rather, Akasaka Prince Classic House, a historic mansion (single-family house) with tangible cultural assets. French cuisine recommended by an acquaintance for a gathering of 9 people. The course was decided in advance, with drinks being free choice. For an additional fee, asparagus with prosciutto was added before the main fish and meat dishes, along with 3 other plates. A bite-sized risotto not on the menu was served before dessert. Overall, the menu was summery and delicious. Starting with champagne, followed by rosé, white, and red wine, all recommended. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed, making it suitable for business meals or entertaining.

I made a lunch reservation at LA MASON KIOI, a classic house. We walked through a garden with sculptures by Akihira Nawa and headed to the classic house. I wonder if you can enter without a reservation, but they asked for the reservation name at the entrance, so I think it's smoother to have a reservation. Everyone ordered their favorite drinks. We toasted and took a breath. The menu was a prefix menu where you could choose a main dish and dessert. The fish was swordfish, and the meat was Yonezawa pork. There was also an option for an additional charge for wagyu beef. The first dish served was chilled corn soup with pickled bitter gourd on top. The intense flavor of corn and its rich sweetness were delightful. Next was the ceviche made with Miyabi sea bream from Amakusa. The red grains on top were tomatoes. The acidity and bitterness were subtle, enhancing the flavor of the sea bream. The texture of the edamame was nice. The bread was focaccia, and you could ask for seconds. My eldest daughter especially loved the fluffy and slightly sweet bread. The gratin made with pumpkin was served in a cocotte. The dish was hot, so be careful. The menu mentioned "Kuchiki sweet chestnut pumpkin." It contained thinly sliced pumpkin with a chewy texture and a soft pumpkin. The texture was enjoyable, but perhaps the soft pumpkin could be improved. We chose swordfish and Yonezawa pork fillet. The zucchini served with it was distinctive. The sauce had a hint of acidity. The zucchini, with its seeds intact, had a well-grilled outer layer and a thick cut, making the inside juicy. The excitement of the dishes leading up to the main course was slightly diminished. The mango pudding came with coconut sorbet. The Basque cheesecake was a specialty, so I wanted to try it if dining at the classic house. The cheesecake had a pleasant aroma of cheese. It was rich but not overwhelming. Enjoy it with coffee. I wonder if there is no dress code for lunch. Some people were wearing T-shirts and shorts. The service was casual, and although the building had a strict atmosphere, it felt easy to use.

We used it for a meal with our family! The old Akapuri, located in a prime location in Tokyo! The stylish interior of the restaurant raises expectations. First, a toast with champagne. The taste is truly exceptional. The course starts with a macaron made with foie gras. Each of the appetizers has a lot of attention to detail. The vegetables and fish are finished to bring out the flavor of the ingredients. We also started with white wine, which is also delicious! It has a slight bitterness, but it goes well with the food! The main meat dish is tender, and it goes perfectly with the sauce! The red wine goes down smoothly. We were treated with great care and had a wonderful time. Thank you for the feast!

Before going, I called and was told that they do not accept phone reservations, so I went directly and luckily didn't have to wait in line to enter. The exterior looks classical and very cute. The interior has a calm atmosphere and the staff's service is great. I ordered the Basque cheesecake, which was not too sweet and very delicious. I definitely want to enjoy lunch there next time.

Everything was standard and authentic! The blue of the glass really stood out. I'm not usually a fan of French cuisine, but the delicate flavors seem to surpass Italian! The soothing jazz playing in the background is truly appreciated.

I was taken to a restaurant that looked like a castle, perfect for a wedding, for my birthday. I have been to many delicious restaurants before, but this was the first time I had such a delicious cake on a birthday plate! I'm not a big fan of shortcake because I tend to feel sick if I eat too much, but this one was so delicious that I finished it in one go. The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, and the waiter brought the dishes at the perfect timing without interrupting our conversation. The food was also delicious, no complaints at all. Next time, I want to use this restaurant for someone else's celebration.

On a holiday at 11 o'clock, I came to another restaurant to have lunch, but it was a little early, so I decided to have some tea here. Even though I didn't make a reservation, it seems to be okay. There are various rooms, but I was seated in a large room at the far end. There was only one other group of customers, so it was spacious. It took 10 minutes for the coffee to arrive after being seated, and the dessert came 20 minutes later, so it took quite a bit of time. In the meantime, more and more customers arrived, and the restaurant was almost full. The interior was luxurious and interesting.

I visited the restaurant with my husband for a special day. It was our second time having lunch there, and this time we chose a meat dish for our main course. The Kyoto chicken was tender and very delicious! We couldn't decide between melon or cheesecake for dessert, so we shared both. The sparkling wine was imported directly from Italy and was light, easy to drink, and delicious. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant! I saw someone next to us enjoying the afternoon tea set, so I plan to try that next time!

Having lunch with a friend. I was grateful to my friend for selecting this place, which is famous for its roses. I also appreciated the reasonable prices at this cozy house in the city. However, it was a bit disappointing that we were rushed as it was a time-limited experience. The focaccia was delicious and I even had three servings. The apple pie was limited in quantity and my friend had pre-ordered it for us. I would love to come back again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a year and a half since my last visit. Today, I saw another wedding taking place at this lovely venue! The beautiful building and interior create a wonderful atmosphere. This time, I just had tea after my meal - I had Kenyan black tea while my son had Ethiopian coffee. I'm curious about the parfaits and dessert menu. I'd like to try their lunch and afternoon tea as well. It's a perfect place for a date. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Visited for a friend's birthday dinner. Ordered the 8500 yen set menu available only on weekdays. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. While 8500 yen is not cheap, I believe it offers good value for this quality of food and setting. The service was also good, and they even provided a free birthday plate.

I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday at La Maison Kioi. Thank you for the lovely experience! I highly recommend the truffle potatoes from pic6, they were amazing. The savory dishes included smoked salmon sandwich, asparagus and new potato gratin, and organic tomato caprese. For sweets and fruits, there were white strawberries, amaou tart, fraisier (French-style shortcake), strawberry milk verrine, rose hip raspberry macaron, strawberry eclair, homemade apple pie with fuji and red delicious apples. The free-flowing drinks included a variety of teas, fresh berry and strawberry rooibos, sunset nouveau, Kenya, lemon myrtle coffee, draft iced coffee, single origin coffee "Ethiopia," and decaf.

Nagatacho ☆ The atmosphere is lovely but...(^_^;) On this day, I had a lunch meeting with friends♪ The weather was nice, definitely feels like spring✿ I've been to Nagatacho with friends a few times, and this restaurant caught my eye. The exterior looks lovely✨ Inside, it's calm and has a sense of elegance✨ When we entered, there were already many other customers! The seating was not very spaced out, it felt a bit crowded. The lunch course is ¥4400, and for that price, with this quality... what do you think? My two friends were also not impressed, saying it's all about the atmosphere. They both chose a meat main dish, but it was mostly fatty and hard to cut with a knife. They both left some on their plates. After the meal, I asked for iced tea but was served hot tea instead (lol) At one point, I accidentally dropped my cutlery on the floor. The staff seemed a bit flustered, I wish they were more composed (lol) On our way out, there was a wedding photoshoot near the counter, and the whole atmosphere felt a bit chaotic. Overall, it was a bit disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

This building, built in 1930 as the residence of the imperial family, the Yi royal family, is a tangible cultural property. Later, it was used as the former building of the Akasaka Prince Hotel and is still used as a restaurant, bar, and wedding venue. This time, we used a room in the main building for a meeting and social gathering of the chairman and vice chairman of the Kojimachi Corporation. Enjoying French cuisine in this classical and dignified building is truly special. I think you should definitely try it out at least once.

It was a lovely afternoon tea experience with a classic atmosphere, featuring an abundance of strawberry-infused sweets, fragrant black tea, and visually appealing savory items. The highlight was getting to see the wonderful works of my favorite artist, Kohei Nawa! ☺️
