  Nice selection of jams and pastries, but that’s about all that’s redeeming about this bakery. Horrifically burnt baguettes, as if they had just got off shift from chimney sweeping. Upon request for additional bread, the audacious server told me to go downstairs and get it myself. I wouldn’t mind, if it wasn’t the case that this establishment gives the appearance of fine dining… nothing fine about this! My wife returned from using the lavatory distressed at the sight of what looked like a bloodstained curtain in her cubicle. A hard pass for any in the area.

  Went for a crepe to take out. No queue, and I got served straight away. Ordered the normal sugar and butter crepe. Waited for around 2-3 for the crepe to be made, and it didn't disappoint. I'm not sure if it's simple because it's fresh, but it was really nice. The butter and sugar were a nice classic combination and the right ratio. Crepe was soft.

  Must try the sugar and butter crepe Visited at 5pm on a Saturday just for the takeout crepes. There was a lot of people, but thankfully we got our crepes after just a 15 minute wait. We had the sugar and butter crepe and the caramel and butter crepe. The sugar and butter crepe was definitely more delicious. The crepe was freshly made and still warm. The melted butter made the crepe feel more luxurious and the sugar granules gave it the satisfy sweet crunch.

  While a bit on the pricier side, the food was very good. Please keep in mind that the main entree is meant to be shared so the price will reflect it. Lots of bread was served that was refilled as needed and it was very good bread. I would wait for the meals or appetizers to have with the bread because it is served without butter or olive oil. My husband and I shared some escargot and a boar/venison terrine both went well with the aforementioned bread, especially the sauce from the escargot. Our main entree was was bear on vegetables and mashed potatoes. As game meat, I expected some level of gamey taste to the bear but the met was fine. It was in the thin layer of fat, so if you do not like the taste of game meat, you will want to avoid the fat. Our companions had mussels in wine and horsemeat tartar. The horse meat tartar was interesting, they prepared it in front of you. Those traveling from North America would be surprised by the fries served with the mussels, it was a quarter of what we usually get in Montréal. They do offer you more fries when you finish. Note about bears. Bears are a local cuisine in parts of Japan and not often served outside rural areas of Japan but you can still find it. And at the time were were traveling, bears were problematic due to lack of food (apparently this year's harvest was not great) in the mountains and resorted to attacking people.

  A bakery with delicious baguette. There is also a restaurant on the second floor where you can relax and eat delicious bread. It is always crowded, so reservations are essential. The age range is high. The atmosphere is relaxed and not suitable for a quick bite to eat. The clerks are also very laid back.
