It seems that the lunch menu has changed to only offer courses. I ordered the simplest course, which included a salad, two appetizers, a choice of main dish, and bread. Each dish required attention and had a good portion size, making it a good value overall. However, I found myself getting too full, which may limit my opportunities to visit. I prefer being able to add dishes based on my mood, so I think having the option of a plate lunch like before or being able to choose the course appetizers would be more convenient. Nonetheless, everything was delicious, so I recommend it for when you want to leisurely enjoy a luxurious lunch.

I found a cozy bistro in Asagaya. I visited for a friend's birthday celebration and enjoyed delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. The assorted appetizers and pasta were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Whenever I come here, I always end up ordering the same thing. It was delicious this time too.

It has been a few months since my last visit. My friend and I ordered the meat appetizer plate that we enjoyed last time, and also tried the salmon for lunch. The meat plate was full of delicious meats, and we also enjoyed the affordable glass of wine. We were satisfied with the meal, but next time we might try something different.

I visited for the first time. We went with two people and ordered one lunch menu each, a charcuterie platter, and had a light lunch while enjoying some drinks. The lunch comes with a generous salad with plenty of vegetables, a choice of main course, and bread. The salad was really filling and even just having the lunch alone was a good deal and satisfying. The additional charcuterie we ordered was also plentiful, maybe too much for one person. Sharing and trying a little bit of everything might be a good idea. The wine selection seemed to mainly focus on organic options. Despite facing a major road, the presence of a sidewalk made it quiet and pleasant. It's a place I would like to visit again for a leisurely lunch.

I saw this restaurant from the bus going from Asagaya to Shakujii Park, and it caught my attention. So, I went there with a friend. It's a cozy place with a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for even solo diners to feel comfortable. I actually want to go back alone next time (lol). It's not noisy or crowded, so you can really unwind. We ordered a lot of food and drinks this time, but I especially liked the fish dishes. Thank you for the meal!

Located a 5-minute walk from Asagaya Station North Exit, this small restaurant along Nakasugi Street is surrounded by a flower shop and a children's clothing store. ■Taste■ The steak lunch I ordered was surprisingly tough and rubbery, almost like it was from a Western country. I couldn't even finish half of it. The plate lunch my companion ordered, on the other hand, had a good balance of fish, meat, salad, and pasta, with tender meat. That was definitely the better choice. ■Service■ Small dogs are allowed only at tables near the entrance. Also, since it's run by just one person, there may be a wait during busy times. ■Atmosphere■ The cafe-like ambiance is stylish, but the lack of background music is a downside. ■Cost performance■ The plate lunch offers good value for money. ■Drinks■ I only had the lunch drink, but the coffee was decent.

First of all... I found an amazing restaurant for a fun outing~ I'm all prepared and ready to go. Today, Marble is wearing a cozy boa outfit ordered from CANDY SHUSHU for our outing~ It's a bit late for lunchtime as we head towards Asagaya Station, along Nakasugi-dori which leads from Nakamurabashi Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, passing through Saginomiya Station on the Shinjuku Line, and reaching Asagaya Station on the JR Chuo Line & Minami-Asagaya Station on the Marunouchi Line. The section of about 1.7km from Waseda-dori to Minami-Asagaya Station is lined with keyaki (zelkova) and cherry blossom trees, offering a nice walking course where you can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall. The tree-lined street is currently undergoing maintenance. Along this street, about a 5-minute walk from the north exit of Asagaya Station, you'll find "French Bistro 101 (Anzerowan)". The simple white-themed exterior of the restaurant caught my eye as I was passing by after visiting the popular curry rice spot, Kuro Neko Chabo. The restaurant has about 4 tables and 8 counter seats, creating a cozy space with ample room between seats. The place has a high female ratio, but offers a variety of hearty dishes that even hungry parents can enjoy, such as the weekend-only course lunch. The drinks menu is also appealing with reasonably priced wines at 500-600 yen per glass. Excited to try them all! However, Marble will have to wait under the table while we enjoy our meal. The appetizer platter includes a variety of vegetable-based dishes, such as a creamy pumpkin salad and ham with sour cream and pear. The bread is also warm and delicious. Papa ordered the Iberico pork sauté, which is juicy and flavorful without being too heavy. Mama's choice for the day's fish dish was Kasago, a white fish with cream sauce that adds richness to the dish. Mama started feeling sorry for Marble waiting under the table and ended up picking him up. Marble made a slightly cramped face, so Mama fed him some bread. For dessert, we had a subtly sweet homemade apple pie. The owner-chef here takes great care in using quality ingredients to prepare and offer dishes at reasonable prices. This place is highly recommended for dates, friends, families, and even solo diners. Oh, and the owner-chef is also a dog lover, as he interacted with Marble several times during our visit. The atmosphere is welcoming to dog owners, making it a great choice for those with furry companions. Feeling satisfied after a one-hour round trip and our second walk of the day, Marble has shared this experience with you. And now, Marble's Papa is enjoying the delicious pate and terrine he bought as a souvenir. The restaurant we visited today is here: 101 (Anzerowan) Tokyo, Suginami-ku, Asagaya Kita 1-28-9 03-5356-8529 https://www.facebook.com/pages/101-unz%C3%A9roun-%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AD%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3/406210839450542 If you'd like to join me next time, click below. Please raise your hand if you're interested in the affordable all-you-can-drink option with 5-6 items for 3000 yen, available for groups of 4 or more (laughs). Thank you for reading!

I have had lunch here before when the restaurant had just opened, and this time I visited for dinner. It seems like the owner is running the place alone, so I can imagine it must be tough when there are multiple customers. Luckily, when we arrived, there were only a few customers finishing up their meals, so we didn't have to wait long. We had beer and wine, and it seems like this place is known for its wine selection, offering about three types of red, white, and sparkling wines by the glass. For food, they have set courses available, but we opted for a la carte this time. We ordered a salad, quiche, and steak. The steak was a bit overcooked for my liking, as I prefer it to be a bit juicier and with a hint of pink in the middle. This is a casual place, so I might come back for lunch sometime.

It seems that the restaurant welcomes locals who truly appreciate wine and Western cuisine, rather than casual gourmet fans or brokers. While there were some concerns about the service, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Personally, I feel that even if the food is delicious, poor service can be a letdown. I was told about an interesting event happening at a restaurant in February, so I decided to check it out together. It was a commemorative event for the 2nd anniversary of Bistro French "101" in Asagaya, and it sounded like a fun time. The dish "Asparagus and Poached Egg, Prosciutto and Two Cheeses" caught my eye with the poached egg. The yolk was firm and not too runny, and the cheese and ham were not mixed in, but tasted separately. I was surprised that the asparagus was served cold, with a noticeable vinegar flavor. The "101 Beef Tendon Stew" had tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef tendon with plenty of onions, reminiscent of a Western-style meat and potato stew without the potatoes. It had a homely taste to it. The "Great Deal! Meat (3 beef, 7 pork)! Thick Terrine" was generously filled with pistachios. Personally, I think it would be even more delicious with some mustard.

On a Sunday holiday, I searched for a restaurant that suits my taste. I prefer European cuisine that is not too expensive, completely non-smoking, and the fewer reviews, the more I want to try it. I have been exploring areas like Higashi-Nakano, Nakano, and Koenji (because there are few non-smoking restaurants), so I have started to venture further away from home, even going to Asagaya. This is a new restaurant that has been open for less than a year, and they also serve lunch, so I visited on January 6th (Sunday) at 11:40. I was the first customer, and I was seated at a 2-person table near the entrance. By 12 o'clock, there were 10 people including couples, families with babies, and groups of two women. It seems to be a popular restaurant among locals. There were two men handling the cooking and service, and it had a cozy wine dining & bistro atmosphere. The lunch menu for the day included three options: Meat dish - cold cuts such as prosciutto, rillettes, and salami for 1080 yen; Special plate of meat and fish for 1250 yen; Quiche for 850 yen; Two-color deluxe stew plate - red wine stewed chicken and salmon in white sauce for 1250 yen, which I chose. First, soup was served - a consommé flavored with eringi mushrooms, cabbage, and black pepper. When I asked for permission to take photos, the staff seemed to have a negative impression of food blogs, but eventually allowed it. It took about 18 minutes for the main dish to arrive, but it was well-prepared, so I think it's normal for a leisurely lunch on a holiday. The cute round bread was warm and delicious, with a crispy texture. A mother with children even asked if they sold the bread separately, showing its popularity. The main dish was enjoyable with the red wine stew and white sauce. The cabbage in the red wine stew and the turnip in the white sauce mashed potatoes were highlights for me. Although the bread was small and the portion of the main dish was smaller compared to regular lunch sets, it was great for a leisurely holiday lunch. Wine starting from 580 yen per glass made me want to have a drink. This visit was also a preview for dinner, and I am now looking forward to coming back at night. It's a perfect restaurant for me - a bistro with European cuisine that pairs well with wine and is non-smoking.

【Revisit: December 2012】A friend wanted to try this place, so we used it for our year-end party. My friend made the reservation, and we opted for the 4000 yen course, given that it was around Christmas time. Initially, there was no draft beer available, so we ordered small bottles of Ebisu beer. The course dishes started coming out soon after. - Vegetable-centered appetizer platter with 7 varieties: The colorful vegetables were served in small portions, but I immediately forgot the explanations given. The homemade bread that I had tried during lunch before also made an appearance. The bread was as delicious as ever, but I wished there was olive oil to go with it. - 100% seafood pate with herb cream sauce: The pate was made without any fillers, using fish such as cod and salmon. The fish paired well with the cream sauce due to its slight protein content. - Assorted cold meats: Rillettes, ham, terrine, and other meats were flavorful and delicious. The rillettes were particularly tasty and easy to eat without any gaminess. - Turnip and mushroom gratin made with rice flour: This gratin, made with rice flour, was light and easy to eat. The sweet turnip was delicious. This dish was shared between two people. - Nage of red snapper: The red snapper was cooked using a method that involved boiling it briefly in a broth made with celery, carrots, onions, and white wine. The light and protein-rich red snapper paired well with the crispy skin. - Main dish of 200g wagyu steak: Despite having already eaten plenty of dishes, the 200g steak at the end was too heavy. 100g would have been sufficient. The meat was too much, and some of us had to take leftovers home. - Dessert platter: The platter included a chocolate cake and something with pumpkin (I forgot). The desserts were not too sweet and delicious, but we were surprised to find out that coffee or tea was not included and would be an additional charge. We didn't order any. We didn't check the wine list as our friend ordered it, but it seemed to be quite expensive. The cheapest bottle was in the 3000 yen range. In the end, with the course dishes, the total cost exceeded 7000 yen, which was a bit more expensive than we had anticipated. The dishes were well-prepared and delicious, but if the main dish had been slightly smaller and the prices more moderate, it would have been better. It would have been nice to have some more affordable wine options as well. 【First Visit: September 2012】This place used to be where Hara Donuts was located. I found out about this place after visiting Asagaya Beer Dojo. I thought they only opened at night, but when I passed by recently, I learned that they also serve lunch. I visited this time and ordered the Herb Three-Pork Loin Mustard Grilled (1000 yen). The restaurant had an L-shaped counter with 8 seats, a table for 4, and a table for 2 in the front. In the back, there were two tables for 2. When I arrived, there were already 3 and 2 customers. There was only one chef and one waitress working. Since I visited shortly after they opened for lunch, they must have received a sudden influx of orders. They seemed very busy. First, they served edamame soup. It was a beautiful light green soup with a dollop of cream on top. Finely chopped onions added a nice touch. The soup had a distinct edamame flavor and was easy to drink, showing the care put into making it. The bread was homemade and cute, about the size of a small child's fist. It had a strong wheat flavor. For the main dish, there were two pieces of meat. The grilled vegetables included bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, snap peas, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and eggplant, seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The three-pork loin was marinated in herbs, brushed with mustard, and coated with breadcrumbs. It seemed to be sautéed first and then baked in the oven, resulting in a crispy breadcrumb crust. The mustard was evenly spread, enhancing the sweetness of the pork rather than overpowering it.

There were three types of lunch options available. Quiche lunch for ¥780, fish or meat lunch for ¥1000 with soup and homemade bread included. Drink is separate and costs around ¥250. Dessert of the day is ¥300. Quiche lunch: The chilled edamame potage soup was light and delicious. The crust of the quiche was thin and crispy, while the filling was smooth and tasty. The salad with hijiki and beans complemented the dish well. The pickles were not too sour and easy to eat. Meat lunch: The Iberico pork sauté with balsamic sauce was served with grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. It was a generous portion with two pieces of pork. The dessert of the day, mango pudding, was delicious with freshly whipped cream. Overall, the meals were enjoyable, but it would be nice to have some additional side dishes or options to add to the quiche lunch for a more satisfying meal.

I ordered the scallop creamy rice gratin, prosciutto and green salad, and homemade bread assortment. Unfortunately, the salad was canceled due to being out of stock. The gratin was quite expensive at 960 yen for a small portion, but the taste was just average. The bread was hard and dry. Maybe it would have been better if eaten in the store, but the delivery experience was disappointing in terms of value for money.

Located about 5-6 minutes north of Asagaya Station's north exit along Nakasugi Street. Nakasugi Street was created through redevelopment 30-40 years ago. The address system has not been updated, causing confusion as some locations have the same address on both sides of the road. I had 3 glasses of wine and 3 dishes, totaling 5070 yen. The wine selection included 1 sparkling, 2 whites, and 3 reds, each costing around 500 yen. The red wine was described as medium-bodied but had a robust flavor. The liver pate was mild, and the quiche had plenty of vegetables making it a light meal on its own. The Ezo deer steak had a strong gamey smell, which may not be suitable for those unaccustomed to it. Despite that, the price of around 5000 yen for this experience was reasonable. The exterior and interior had a casual atmosphere with an overall Mediterranean vibe. There is an L-shaped counter in the middle in front of the kitchen, table seating near the entrance and at the back. While there are no private rooms, the 4-person table at the back feels somewhat secluded, offering a semi-private dining experience. Overall, it gives off a Southern European feel, although I have not personally been there.

Head north from Asagaya Station to the north exit. Proceed north on Nakasugi Street. After passing the traffic light in front of Sezonin, you will find a shop with a predominantly white exterior about 100 meters away. I was looking for a place to have lunch in Asagaya, so I decided to visit this shop. The interior has a cafe-like atmosphere with white tones. All the customers were women. Looking at the lunch menu outside, I quickly realized that this is not a place where you can get a lot of carbohydrates. There is a tall counter around the kitchen and table seats in the front and back. I ordered the pork loin with mustard sauce, while my companion ordered the cold meat plate. It took quite a while before the first soup was served. I understand that the kitchen is being run by only one person, so it's understandable. It might be tough for those who expect a quick lunch in a one-hour lunchtime. After a while, the dishes were brought to us starting from the soup. Despite being health-conscious, the pork was quite substantial. It was nice to see plenty of vegetables served alongside. The pork was tender, and the mustard sauce was delicious. I also tried some of my companion's cold meat plate, and I was impressed that there was no unpleasant smell in any of the meats. It seems like they put a lot of effort into their dishes. However, although the bread was delicious, the bouillon rice I changed to was disappointingly clumpy and seemed to have been frozen. In that case, I think it would be better to stick to just the bread on the menu. The staff seemed busy, and I felt a bit stressed when asking for water refills, but they provided polite service. I wouldn't recommend this place to those looking for a hefty meal, but it seems like a good place for a ladies' lunch. Women would probably enjoy it. The atmosphere doesn't seem very calm for dinner, so if I were to revisit, it would likely be for lunch.
