Restaurant Molière, an award-winning French establishment in Sapporo, is a culinary gem that showcases exquisitely presented dishes crafted from inventive Hokkaido ingredients. Expect nothing less than perfection in both cuisine and service, making it a definite recommendation for French cuisine enthusiasts.
The dining experience begins with a trio of appetizers elegantly arranged on a rustic stump tray. Dishes like the onion and bacon tart and piping hot edamame tempura are palate pleasers. A unique twist on gazpacho, served in a brandy glass over large ice cubes, captivates with a medley of summer vegetables and spices that enhance the tomato's natural flavors. A surprising broccoli and ricotta cheese combination leaves a lasting impression, as does the simplicity of the sea urchin dish with finely chopped okra sauce transformed into consommé jelly, layered with fromage blanc.
Two standout courses are the hair crab risotto, where the richness of crab envelops the dish, and the refreshing lemon and black tea sorbet, served as a palate cleanser.
For the main course, revel in the charcoal-grilled Tokachi beef fillet, cooked to medium-rare perfection. It arrives alongside a time-honored potato gratin, prepared with potatoes aged for 500 days. The harmonious pairing elevates your dining experience, making each bite a joyful exclamation.
Before concluding your meal, indulge in raclette cheese from Otofuke town, thinly sliced on rye bread, an undoubtedly delightful course.
Treat yourself to an exceptional culinary journey at Restaurant Molière, where a symphony of flavors awaits, culminating in the unforgettable Mont Blanc dessert.
