“One Michelin Star Awarded”
This is a small French restaurant with Japanese style and only 12 covers. Only four dining on the Tuesday evening in late September when we visited. Chef Takayuki Ushiyama trained in France and returned to his home town to open his own restaurant. His wife runs 'front of house', but he is also very ...hands on discussing the menu with guests. We had a very good value set price menu of several courses, which was excellent. We were given a choice of meat for the entrée and then chef prepares the full menu around that choice. Chef and his wife were delightful to talk to, but the conversation was largely in French as only he spoke limited English. The framed Michelin star certificate recently awarded takes pride of place and is richly deserved. It is hard to find and your taxi driver may not know the location so do have the address in Japanese to hand.

“Surprise: Great French Food in Kanazawa”
Even though on a weekday night I was only one of two diners, if you like French food, this is a must. The young chef trained in Beaune France, and is masterful in his skill and presentation. A thoroughly delicious and elegant meal, and I enjoyed talking French with Bernard.

“Creative ”
We were treated this evening to some creative and fun cooking . It was a set menu with three options for the entree . Cooked and served up by a delightful young couple who were bursting with enthusiasm . The wine list is in Japanese and its helpful if you speak French , otherwise its down to them t...o offer French burgundy or Bordeaux wines ; which were fine . Coming back to the food it was beautifully cooked and if you are after classic French cuisine then I doubt if you'll be disappointed . Congratulations to Takayuki Ushiyama and his wife for such good cooking and good luck for the future .

“Excellent menu”
Great and exciting tasting menu. Truly skilled craftsmanship by the chef with a very personal touch made this experience top class! I bet this is on the visit list for the upcoming Michelin tour of Kanazawa this year. And rightly so.
