I went for lunch on Sunday with a friend. We had the 5,000 yen course lunch which included appetizer, main course, and dessert that we could choose from. The French cuisine was delicious and it was such a great value for just 5,000 yen. We also got two pieces of bread. It was so tasty... We had a really good time.

Located in Kagurazaka, the French restaurant "designo Dejino" is a renowned French restaurant in Kagurazaka, and the chef, Kenjiro Kaneda, who trained in France, specializes in traditional French cuisine. The name "designo" comes from Latin, meaning "to design." The restaurant aims to design the joy, surprise, and excitement of guests through traditional French cuisine and excellent service. The head chef, Kenjiro Kaneda, worked at La Tour Eiffel for 7 years before spending about 2 and a half years in France, working at various Michelin-starred restaurants. We opted for the lunch course "Ignis," which includes a choice of appetizer, main dish, and dessert. Both of us chose the "Pan-fried Fresh Fish of the Day" as the main course. The meal started with a toast with Perrier, followed by various amuse-bouches, including marinated olives, pancakes with cream cheese and salmon mousse, and marinated sardines with sherry vinegar sauce. The amuse featured a cold corn blancmange with three different colors of corn. For the appetizers, we had Tasmanian salmon with a soft-boiled egg and Greg Legume sauce, and marinated lobster and shellfish with celery mousse and consomme jelly. The main course was pan-fried sea bream with beurre bourguignon butter and balsamic sauce, served with fermented red cabbage sauerkraut. The dessert was a trio of yogurt, mango, and banana milk ice creams. The meal ended with madeleines, sangria guimauve, and mango fruit tartlets, followed by iced coffee. The classical French cuisine with richly flavored sauces was delicious. However, the lack of verbal communication when clearing the plates throughout the meal felt somewhat out of place and affected the overall impression of the restaurant's elegance.

The course order of 2 appetizers, 1 main dish, and dessert from the a la carte menu was enjoyable as there were many options to choose from. We tried 4 appetizers, all of which were delicious and it was hard to pick a favorite. The main meat dish was tender and moist, and the bread had a fragrant aroma of walnuts and sesame, served hot. For dessert, there were 2 options - a citrus jelly and a berry cake. The total cost was around 10,000 yen per person, which is expected for the quality of the food. Overall, the dishes were so good that we would definitely want to come back again.

- Ordered the 6,000 yen lunch course - The main difference between the 6,000 yen course and the 4,500 yen course is the number of main dishes - For the average man, the 4,500 yen course might feel slightly lacking as the main dish is either fish or meat - Good value for taste and service, drinks are a bit expensive (around 1,500 to 2,000 yen per glass, which is normal for a French restaurant) - The photos show appetizers and the main meat dish, as there was no photo of the main fish dish due to an oversight - Interested in trying the dinner menu if there is a chance to visit

I found a French restaurant with great taste, cost performance, and casual atmosphere. I made a reservation and visited for Sunday lunch. - Lunch Course Ignis 4,500 yen A 5-course meal where you can choose an appetizer, main dish, and dessert. The appetizer was their specialty dish, marinated lobster and shellfish with celery mousse and consomme jelly. The celery mousse had a smooth texture and no bitterness, but the aroma was delightful. When combined with the consomme jelly on top, it created a wonderful harmony. At the bottom, there were plump shrimp which was a must-try dish. The main dish was roasted duck meat which paired perfectly with the orange sauce. For dessert, there was a mascarpone cheese mousse with a generous amount of berry sauce. You can choose from 4-5 options for each course at no additional cost, making you want to come back for more. The delicious meal made me enjoy wine more than usual. I will definitely visit again!

I came to this French restaurant in Kagurazaka looking for a French meal. It is a hidden gem of a French restaurant located a little off the main street. The atmosphere is very stylish and beautiful, making it a great place for business meetings or dates. The service was excellent, with very polite staff. Thank you very much. We had a course menu for around 8,000 yen, and every dish was truly delicious. It was great that we could choose between meat and fish dishes. Overall, I will definitely come back to this restaurant. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Located close to Kagurazaka Station, I visited this restaurant on a cold night a week before Christmas. I opted for a course with a light main dish and chose a glass of red and white wine each. The lunch menu also seems to offer good value, but dinner is the best time to enjoy a leisurely meal. With a variety of options for appetizers, mains, and desserts, my partner and I enjoyed choosing different dishes. The appetizer was a pie wrapped in clams and mushrooms, and the main dish was the classic red wine-braised pork cheek. Being part of the L'atelier group, you can't go wrong.

Located on the right side just before reaching Shinchosha, this restaurant in Kagurazaka is a hidden gem. The location itself is charming. It is affiliated with the highly acclaimed restaurant Ratras, which has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. The dishes are meticulously seasoned, generous in portion, and reasonably priced at around 4,000 yen. Considering the quality and quantity of the food, it felt very reasonable. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Just a short walk from Kagurazaka, this place has a calm atmosphere. It seems to be affiliated with L'atras. I visited for lunch and ordered what I believe is the same as the evening course. The specialty of Zuwai crab and celeriac mousse was delicious. Good value for money and a convenient restaurant to visit.

In a quiet residential area, I found a lovely restaurant called Aqua in Kagurazaka Dejino. I ordered the Aqua course for 2900 yen. I chose the sea bream poêlé as my main dish, and it was so big and filled with plenty of vegetables that it was enough to make me full! The sauce was also delicious. It was tasty, had a good portion size, and all at this price! Great value for money. The course included an amuse-bouche, appetizer, main course, dessert, and coffee or tea.

I used it for lunch. It's a casual and very delicious French restaurant. The seasoning is just right! There are two lunch courses for holidays, and I chose the course with appetizer and main dish. The main dish, red wine stewed Japanese beef, was really tender and delicious! And for dessert, I chose citrus jelly and custard. This was the right choice! I have another restaurant I want to visit again.

Ignis Course for 3,540 yen offers a selection of appetizer, main course, and dessert in a prefix style. The main course (I chose scallops this time, while my companion chose duck) looked beautiful and for the price of 3,540 yen, it's not bad. However, it might be nice to have a bit more creativity in the dishes.

Classic French cuisine. The weekday lunch course starts at 3,500 yen. The amuse-bouche was duck ham, olives, and sweet vinegar onions. The duck ham had a nice texture but was quite salty. The onion blancmange was average. The appetizer was foie gras terrine with lots of cream. The foie gras flavor was not very strong, and the terrine was too bulky. The main course was braised and breaded beef cheek. The cheek meat was tender and well-cooked, but the sauce was not very tasty, too salty. The dessert was average. A petit four was served with post-meal tea. Overall, the seasoning was heavy, not focusing on bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients. The meal was filling, but the foie gras was overwhelming, and I started feeling full without finishing it (maybe a wrong choice). Not my preferred type of French cuisine. The post-meal tea was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

You can enjoy delicious French cuisine in a restaurant with an open and inviting atmosphere. The specialty appetizer I ordered was fantastic. It consisted of marinated lobster and shellfish with a celery mousse, topped with consommé jelly in a beautiful three-layer presentation. It's great to be able to easily enjoy delicious French cuisine. The duck main course was also delicious.

I took a day off during the week and decided to go to a place with a weekday lunch. I chose this place because I wanted to go to a high-quality restaurant. They offer a weekday lunch course (2700 yen) which includes an amuse-bouche, assorted appetizers, main course, and dessert. The amuse-bouche consisted of olives, duck prosciutto-like dish (forgot the name), and marinated mushrooms, all perfect for enjoying with champagne. The assorted appetizers included marinated sardines, salmon prepared with low-temperature cooking (forgot the name), meat pate, smoked duck, and salad. The flavors were rich and paired well with wine. The main course offered a choice between meat and fish, and I chose the pork pot-au-feu. The pork was tender and flavorful, cooked over 3 days in salt. The dish was hearty with plenty of vegetables. For dessert, I had chestnut ice cream and Earl Grey pudding, both of which were surprisingly delicious for the price. The ice cream had a subtle chestnut flavor, and the pudding had a nice texture. I also enjoyed a coffee after the meal and left feeling very satisfied. The quality of the course exceeded my expectations for the price. However, the seasoning was more suited for wine drinkers (personal opinion), so be careful not to overspend on wine. I would love to come back for dinner. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I had lunch in Kagurazaka for the first time in a while! I had the weekday lunch course. It included an amuse-bouche, assorted appetizers, a main dish, and dessert. The amuse-bouche with duck and biscuits was perfectly seasoned. The pate canape in the assorted appetizers was delicious. French cuisine with tasty pate can never go wrong. The main dish was like a pot-au-feu with root vegetables and pork. It was generous in portion and the vegetables were delicious with a good broth. It was a lunch with excellent cost performance. I had two glasses of Riesling and Burgundy Pinot Noir in a wine glass, and I would like to try a bottle next time.

There is a restaurant located about a 3-minute walk from Kagurazaka Station. It is situated in a residential area near Shinchosha, and the exterior gives off a classic French cuisine vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly and welcoming, making it easy to enjoy a meal here. The interior of the restaurant follows a classical French style, with seating for around 20 people. You can choose from set courses or à la carte options, but I opted for the seasonal specialty menu this time. The drink menu includes champagne, various wines, and non-alcoholic drinks, with no beer options. French wines are priced around 1000 yen per glass, which is quite reasonable. As for the food, I particularly enjoyed the appetizer of salmon cooked at a low temperature. The tender texture of the salmon and the slightly crispy salted skin were delicious. The sauce was also excellent. Other dishes like foie gras sauté with porcini mushroom cappuccino and grilled buri (yellowtail) were also delightful, with delicious sauces. The main course was Saga beef ribeye steak with a pepper sauce based on meat juices. The meat was cooked perfectly, and the pepper sauce was tasty. We finished with chestnut gelato, and it was a satisfying meal overall. As many others have mentioned, the quality and quantity of food at this price point are truly surprising. I was able to relax and enjoy a delicious meal until the end.

On a certain day in September 2019... I made a reservation for my boyfriend's birthday at this place♡ It was our 9th anniversary and they had a special offer for the "Material Course" from ¥6250 to ¥4870!! I'm so happy, the place is quiet around here and very cozy. The atmosphere inside is really nice, not too fancy but still classy. We started with a toast with champagne♪ I chose the seafood marinated with lobster essence, celery root mousse, and consommé jelly for the appetizer, while my boyfriend had Tasmanian salmon confit at 39℃ with a warm egg and raspberry vinaigrette sauce. For the main course, I had sautéed quail with pine nuts and balsamic vinaigrette sauce, and my boyfriend had roasted New Zealand lamb loin with black olive and anchovy sauce. The seafood marinated with lobster essence was the restaurant's specialty and so rich!! The Tasmanian salmon confit was delicious and generous in portion. Both dishes were of high quality!! The fish was also delicious, with crispy skin and tender inside, it was amazing. The wine paired well with the food. I preferred the appetizer and fish over the meat. The quality of the food at this price is amazing!! We had white wine by the bottle and red wine by the glass, one glass each. The birthday plate was a nice touch, it was complimentary. It's a great place to enjoy a delicious meal at a leisurely pace, an adult space where we had a great birthday celebration♡

Ordered the seasonal specialty course. With high expectations as it was the top course, the appetizer and the salmon cooked at 39 degrees were delicious. The foie gras galette, which was more like rice with a crispy crust and topped with foie gras, was also tasty and filling. However, the disappointment came with the domestic beef steak at the end. It was mostly fat and was inedible. The waiter did not notice or mention anything about it. Also, be careful with the water as it is charged at 750 yen per person for unlimited refills. This place might be good for those who have a lot of money and love fatty meat.

I visited during lunch on a weekday. There were no other customers at that time. They offered a lunch course for 2500 yen where you can choose your appetizer and main dish, and a 3500 yen course where you can choose both. I opted for the 3500 yen course. First, we were served an amuse-bouche with rosemary-infused tomato, Parmesan cheese, and Genovese tomato. Then, we had a Western-style chawanmushi, which was light and delicious. The bread served was warm and tasty, especially the baguette. For the appetizer, I ordered the specialty dish which was a mix of shrimp and crab in bisque sauce with celery root mousse and consomme jelly. It was incredibly delicious, with a unique combination of flavors and textures. The main course was roast duck with cassis mustard sauce, cooked perfectly with crispy skin and a refreshing sauce that complemented the rich flavor of the meat. The beet side dish was a perfect match for the duck. For dessert, I chose coconut blancmange which had a firm texture and was accompanied by a sweet treat that added a nice touch. We also received some small sweets like apricot-flavored jelly, financiers, and mint-flavored guimauve. Overall, the 3500 yen course was a great value with excellent service, and I will definitely be returning.
