On anniversaries, I have been visiting. The content has always been wonderful from appetizers to desserts, but this time the chef's dish with butterbur made me feel an early spring. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.
Madame is having a lunch party!
Le Benaton, a French restaurant in Shukugawa
It takes about 5 minutes to walk from Shukugawa station.
I felt it's different from Osaka when I walked along the streets until I got there.
The whole town has a certain elegance to it, and the people you pass by are completely different.
The store faces the street, but once inside, it is quiet and relaxing.
I was so excited that I arrived at the store before it opened (lol).
I walked around for a while to adjust my time.
The restaurant is small and clean with white tables and chairs.
I was a little nervous at first, but it didn't feel that stuffy.
It will be easy to use.
Well, this time I'll take it at a discount!
2,000 yen course (drinks not included) at Japan Week Restaurant
The regular lunch courses are
3,800 yen, 5,200 yen and 6,500 yen.
Drinks are white wine
The sommelier chose Macon-Village
It was refreshing and delicious!
That's all I can say...
Jean Pont Perche Burgundy-style pâté with chicken thigh and basil
If you like wine, you'll love this!
It is lighter than pork and the basil makes it even more refreshing!
The pickled vegetables are not too acidic!
As for the bread, is there a bucket, round bread and some kind of bread?
I got the round bread and something like papados!
I think the bucket goes better with the dish!
Braised cheeks in red wine
You don't need a knife at all!
The meat is so tender and tender!
The red wine soaks into the meat and makes you happy.
The mashed potatoes served with the meat are filled with herbs!
It's a stimulating combination!
Chocolate mousse
The chocolate mousse is extremely rich and surprising!
The crunchy accents inside the chocolate mousse are delicious!
My heart is full!
Finally, I had a cup of tea and a small pastry.
I was so satisfied with this inexpensive course!
I feel sorry.
Next time I want to come properly...
The cherry blossoms have already started to bloom...it would be nice to take a walk in Shukugawa Park on the way home!

This is the one I wanted to visit.
Even though it was a weekday, there was a huge crowd...
We waited for an hour and a bit.
There were many housewives with infants.
I ordered eggs benedict, which I had been wanting to try.
I chose salmon avocado.
The poached eggs were so soft and tender!
And then there's the pancake we've been waiting for!
I said it would be too much for two people to share, but it was so fluffy, moist, and tender that it wasn't enough.
but it was so fluffy, soft, and handsome that it wasn't enough.
I had it plain and simple.
I've never had a pancake texture like this before and I'm impressed.
If they could improve the turnover rate a little more
I would have scored 120☆.
I would like to go back again ♡.
I was impressed by the beautiful decorations in the restaurant and the hanging scroll "Naoshin Kore Jodo". You can enjoy a variety of seasonal dishes every month. It is a perfect match with the sake selected by the proprietor. The draft beer pours wonderfully and makes you smile every time you drink it. You can also bring your own champagne. I felt that I would definitely keep coming back to this restaurant.
You can enjoy various types of tonkatsu, such as iwanaka pork loin and Matsusaka pork fillet. The cross section of the pork cutlet is fresh and pink, and the batter is fluffy and crispy, yet moist. The combination of lean and fatty meat is very good, and the gentle flavor spreads even when served with salt or sauce. Yumi Pork and Matsusaka Pork are also tender and delicious, with a flavor that spreads out. The menchikatsu is also juicy with a thin batter, and the chicken breast is also an impressive delicacy. I would like to visit this restaurant again.
Kushikatsu Bonbori is a restaurant where you can enjoy innovative and diverse kushikatsu in a calm atmosphere characterized by sophisticated navy tones. The freshly fried kushikatsu made with seasonal ingredients is light and its deliciousness is further enhanced when paired with the special sauce or salt. A sommelier is also on hand to recommend wines that complement the kushikatsu, allowing you to enjoy a pleasant experience. It's an ideal space for solo diners to savor exquisite dishes in a relaxed setting.
