Une Pincée

Wonderful food and great matching wine list.
Definitely will go again and would like to try all the dishes on the menu

There are LOADS of French fine dinning places in Tokyo and this is definitely my favorite even after trying a couple of Michelin restaurants.

They change menu once in a while with creative and seasonal dishes. Very good value for money and most importantly, every time I go, I feel they really cook with lots of passions and dedication to the meals they make. The chef and his two guys are very kind and friendly, so we always feel home eating there.

My all time favorite is their rabbit pie. Honestly I haven’t tried better even in France so highly recommended. All other food is great so you can just choose freely as you like! ♥️♥️♥️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This French bistro is located in Higashi-Azabu. The atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. All dishes look and taste great, and the three chefs are dependable. You can use it for a date or dinner with friends without hesitation.

A very nice place in Higashiazabu. Small with only 14 seats, 1 table of 4 and 10 at the counter. French cuisine at its best, reasonable prices, the prices on the menu are for 2 servings. One small request: be a bit more generous with the drinks, pours are quite small.

Maybe it is a case of falling short on high expectations, but our meal at Une Pincée was perhaps a case of mixed impressions.

The way the menu is presented and laid out puts you on the back foot, and prompts unnecessary questions on how to order instead of what to order. Unnecessary confusion and doesn’t do justice to the dishes.

The starter, some sort of terrine, was altogether very simple, bistro style and forgettable. The slice of warm bread that we ordered with it suggested that things would get much better from here on. And they did…

The vichyssoise immediately took it up a notch, refreshing, smooth yet flavourful. Then came the veal on recommendation from the friendly team, which was perfectly cooked, delicious and nicely accompanied. Finally unable to resist the sight and smell emanating from the preparation of the crab linguine by the chef across the counter, we ordered one… this easily was the crowning moment of a dinner that kept on getting better and better with each passing dish.

The wine list however gentle on the wallet leaves to be desired in terms of choice and range. The food served here deserves a better selection, or at least a few more labels for those who want to pair it up a bit, without going over the top… for what also distinguishes this restaurant from many of its peers in this area of Tokyo is its reasonable demands on your wallet!
