Visit to French Restaurant [Restaurant La+] Specializing in Fresh Tokyo Vegetables, Opened in March This Year | Gurutto Tokyo Reporter

Opened in March this year,
French Restaurant [Restaurant La+] focuses on enjoying fresh Tokyo vegetables delightfully. 33f

A restaurant where you can enjoy dishes crafted by an owner-chef with over 30 years of experience, dedicated to Japanese ingredients.

The "Lapis Course" we had this time is recommended and, astonishingly, uses about 30 types of vegetables in a single course! 633✨
You can savor plenty of fresh, seasonal vegetables delivered directly from farms.

The first amuse-bouche is a mousse of grilled corn and consommé jelly. 33d The sweetness of the corn itself is rich and the combination with the umami flavor of consommé is very delicious.

The velouté made with butternut squash from Hachioji's Nakanishi Farm is amazingly rich without using heavy cream or butter. 979 With layers of flavors like marinated watermelon and the scent of orange olive oil, it was a visually and taste-wise summery plate.

The particularly flamboyant dish was the jardinière made with Ebihara Farm's garden vegetables. 33c

Edamame puree and plenty of summer vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers.
The tomato espuma finished in front of you has a light and fluffy texture with grilled bonito from Ehime hidden below.✨️

The edible flowers are procured from a specialized farmer in Ishikawa Prefecture, and it's wonderful that all of them can be eaten, not just for decoration.

The eggplant from Iwatsuki, Saitama, called "Firenze," is surprisingly soft with a meat-like texture. 346
It was perfectly matched with the abundant truffle cream sauce.

For the poêlé of red snapper, scallops, and prawns from Ehime Prefecture, a hot soup de poisson was added.
The dish was packed with the rich flavors of seafood, making even the aroma pleasurable.
⁡
The "Vegetable Museum," a signature dish, is just as the name suggests, impressively decorative.
You can enjoy various taste changes within the same plate by combining colorful vegetables with purees of grilled eggplant, pumpkin, wasabi, onion, etc. 970

The main dish of domestic beef sirloin is tender and chewy.
Ten kinds of seasonal vegetables are also included, making vegetables the main star till the end,
which was impressive.

The dessert is peach compote with vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce. 351
Everything was lovely, and each dish was a delight to look at.

You can enjoy pairing with Japanese wine to match the dishes, and for those who don’t drink, pairing with Ehime juice is recommended. 969
The pairing with the ingredients provided a different way of enjoyment.

Although there were plenty of dishes and vegetables, you wouldn’t feel too heavy after eating, yet the satisfaction was high.

The restaurant is also open for lunch and offers courses from casual enjoyment to those perfect for special occasions, making it an ideal choice for dates, girl's gatherings, or birthdays. ✨️

This French restaurant made me realize how enjoyable vegetables can be and is a place I would want to visit again. 33f
