MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

French Izakaya is a bright spot in Tomio where people can enjoy themselves in a more casual way than at a bistro. The idea is to make French cuisine feel more familiar, for which reason the chef serves various regional French dishes. Escargot is served not in the Burgundy-style but, surprisingly, in ‘Étonner’ style, with parsley butter and tomatoes. The liveliness of the space and the authenticity of the dishes make for a true French atmosphere.
