“ Wonderful food. Staff and the Chef were lovely. Great value. Highly recommended! ”
“ Very nice location. Good food with the Japonised Western Dishes in combination with selection of vines. Will come back ”
“ One of the few places in Chuzenji that opens for dinner. Very spacious restaurant, manned only by an elderly couple. Dinner course starts from 3,200 yen. The main dish I picked was a whole trout from the lake a la meuniere because I wanted something local. It was fresh, soft, and tasty. Great experience. ”
“ Owned by an elderly couple. Very reasonably priced course dinner. 1000 yen corkage fee if you bring your own bottle. They hand you a wine opener and you DIY. Steak was too fatty since it was a5 sirloin. Wish they had a filet option. ”
“ We chose the basic set dinner and it was very wonderful. The trout appetiser tasted fresh. The grilled trout was grilled perfectly with crispy skin and tasted very delicious. Dessert was sesame panna cotta which was also very well made and tasted of fresh sesame. Every dish was prepared with care and detail. The waitress was very attentive. Chef Hoshino came out to greet us before we left. English menu is available. There are other set menus but I only took a photo of the set we had. ”
“ Lovely french cuisine restaurant with views on Chuzenji Lake. We had the burger steak set; fish of the day set menu and roasted chicken set menu. All of them were delicious. Atmosphere was very quiet and pleasant, staff was lovely and food was really nice so would definitely recommend if you have enough time to enjoy a dine in experience when exploring around the lake. ”
“ I visited on Christmas Eve and I’m so glad I did! For its price point, the food was amazing—definitely worth it. At first, I thought the music was a bit much, like Dracula might pop out at any moment to either serve the food or make me part of his Noche Buena. But you know what? I take it back—it definitely was a vibe. HAHA! ”
