Very good, intimate French Restaurant. The duck is superb, and so is the steak tartar. Lunch is also available.

Petit Paris, which you would expect to find in Montmartre, is now available in Hirai.
It is about a 3-minute walk from the north exit of Hirai Station.
A very cute French restaurant.
Although it is small, they have a sommelier, and the courses and wine are very reasonable.

Chef Kunimitsu Kobayashi worked at famous restaurants such as ``Toranomon Club'' and ``House of 1999 Roarabush'' before opening this restaurant in his hometown of Hirai at the young age of 28.
It's a homely French restaurant that doesn't have high-quality ingredients, but it incorporates seasonal ingredients and is plentiful, so if you have one nearby, you'll want to use it for everyday use.

On this day, I used Diners French Week.

~Today's hors d'oeuvre~
Marinated swordfish from Hokkaido
Avocado and apple part served with fig and liver puree

The yellow-green jellied jelly of avocado and apple is on top of the swordfish, and it's sweet. It was served with swordfish liver paste, which tasted bitter. I couldn't find a delicious way to eat it, so it was a strange hors d'oeuvre.

・Cold steamed white wine clams from Kujukurihama, mussels
Fresh cheese and beetroot mousse with papaya

The texture of the fresh cheese and beetroot mousse was similar to panna cotta, and the texture was interesting and delicious.
The mussels and clams were also delicious.

~Today's main dish~
Satsuma chicken from Kagoshima prefecture served with chasseur-style potatoes and gnotsuki

Satsuma pure chicken is quite large.
Chasseur sauce is a classic sauce, but it goes perfectly with light chicken. The potato gnocchi was also very filling.

~Dessert/after-meal drinks/small sweets~
・Small sweets
You can choose from 3 types.
"Crepe Otello with vanilla ice cream"
I made it. The dough is sweet, so it's a little sweet overall.

・Burdock warabi mochi
interesting. The taste of burdock spread in my mouth.

·Herb tea

・3 types of hot bread

"drink"
·keel
・2021 Tavel Rose Larocaliere (Rhone region, refreshingly dry)

A small French restaurant located in the downtown area.
It seems to be used incognito, by families, and for celebrations. The entry and start times are similar, and the courses are offered at the same time. Prices range from around 10,000 yen to 15,000 yen, and the ingredients are changed.
I think I can only do one rotation.
They will arrange the menu according to the ingredients you don't like or the customer group, so just go and leave the rest to us.
It is famous as a game dish.
Both the fish and meat are delicious.
The desserts are so elaborate that it turns into a photo competition.
On my way home, I feel very graceful as they see me off at the exit. I don't use it often, but I would like to use it again for celebrations.
I would like to try it for lunch as well.
Thank you for the meal.
