Located in Tokyo’s Daikanyama district, this pint-sized French bistro with only a couple dozen seats specializes in grilled seafood dishes. Chef Satoshi Kakegawa’s simple preparations really let the local ingredients shine, with dishes such as razor clams with bacon and shimeji mushrooms, grilled tuna collar lettuce wraps and a decadent lobster gratin. The casual counter service and affordable prices have proved to be a popular concept, as this place is packed nightly.
