Vert Bois

Quiet environment and nice lake view. Breakfast in this restaurant is enjoyable.

Highly recommended if you're staying at the Odakyu Yamano Hotel. Yes it's a French restaurant in Japan but the food quality is superb. That's for both breakfast and the dinner menu set. The staff is friendly, very accommodating and highly attentive. The dinner menu changes daily and offers a surprise with every item.

We had a 6-course French dinner by Chef Kiyotoshi Yusa. Vert Bois also had a pretty extensive list of wines to choose from - both by the bottle or in 1-3 glass sets. Service was great and food was really good.

We dined here with our kids during our stay at the hotel. Reservations are a must bc they close early.
The menu is very limited... we had 3 set menu to choose from for adults and 2 for kids. We tried 2 different menus... the cheaper one and more expensive one and both were good overall, but I liked the mains much more than the appetizers. the appetizers are very sophisticated but the flavors aren't always great. The fish and steak are very nicely cooked. The menus are pricy even when compared to other premium restaurants in Japan but this is a pricy hotel overall and you do end up getting a lot of food m.
Our kids enjoyed the kids menu, especially the steak and the hamburger.
The service is good overall but I would expect more attentive service levels given the price levels and refined nature of the restaurant.
Definitely worth a try if you're staying at the restaurant.
