Bonélan

Nice French restaurant with green 🪴 interior theme.
Really recommended for nice conversations & date.

They have set menu in the lunch !!
Although we can choose from Menu, but set option make more sense economically.

Outside seating options available too.

I couldn’t get English menu but it’s available in French & Japanese.

I have to revise my initial five star review. The quality of service was really underwhelming during my recent lunch. I have been to Bonelan a number of times and it’s always the same waiter. Normally his service is at least average (definitely was never bad but not exceptional, especially for Japan).

My husband had called ahead of time to see if we needed a reservation or not and he was told no. So while my husband parked the car, I went ahead to get a table (I requested the terrace). The waiter didn’t even ask how many were in my party. My husband asked me to order for him since he would probably be done parking by the time the first dish came out (plus as mentioned, we had been there a number of times and were familiar with the menu ) but the waiter made a huge fuss about it. He also made a fuss about me not wanting to order a course for my toddler (even after I explained that she couldn’t eat a whole course and my husband had asked on the phone if we needed to order a course or could choose a la carte. He was told a la carte was fine).

The waiter’s tone changed when my husband arrived. I feel like maybe it’s partly due to my husband being Japanese… not saying that waiter was being discriminatory but maybe some things just got lost in translation (even if one speaks Japanese).

I won’t be going back, especially when there are so many good restaurants in Tokyo with excellent service.

Bit of a wait to get in, but it was quite worth it. The course option was relatively cheap at under ¥4000 per person, though drinks etc add up. Also, portions are fairly small, but still left feeling quite full. Definitely recommended for a fancy meal in omotesando that won't totally break the bank.

their lunch is really steal! great to go by yourself or with special person.
french/japanese fusion was a pleasant surprise.

their service is quick and efficient.
atmosphere is elegant and elevated as well.

Dishes are good but the service is under the expectation.
