Robe" is a popular French restaurant in Higashi-Azabu that is perfect for a Michelin 1-star date.
My friend and I used it for a relaxing lunch to enjoy the cuisine of the chef, sommelier, and pastry chef who has an illustrious career in the cute restaurant.
We asked for a lunch course of about 7,000 yen and a wine pairing to enjoy a variety of wines.
The food was beautifully presented and served in small portions, just like a Michelin restaurant, and the ladies loved the food.
The wine list was light, with a selection of European wines to match the dishes.
The restaurant was packed, and the chef and server were alone, and the service was a bit slow and unobtrusive, but I was happy to be able to relax since I was having lunch with a friend.
I would recommend this restaurant for a relaxing lunch date or a girls' night out.
Mmmm, it's hard to evaluate a lot of things.
The staff is young. I think it would be more frequent if the price range were cheaper.
The menu is small and has more than 30 items.
I think it is inexpensive, but it is a fine line. I think so, but it is a fine line.
Maybe it's because there are so many items, but I can't put my hands on each and every item. There are no photogenic items.
Nothing to put on Facebook or Instagram. No flowers. Or should I say...
The taste is good.
But it is a given that the taste is good, and you pay 20,000 yen for it. So, what is it that you can only taste here? It's a counter only.
There is only a counter. No private rooms. The cooking that unfolds in front of you is a battle.
It's fun to watch, but it's an open kitchen! It is a little bit painful because it is not so spacious as an open kitchen.
It may be too small and you may not be able to show your true performance.
Watching the dizzying performance of a 20,000-yen class Chinese restaurant. What do you mean by that? I think I have a preference.
Thirty items, how many items leave a lasting impression?
Less than 10 items, I think. I think.
Delicious. Delightful Chinese food. I thought to myself. Add alcohol pairings to that and you're probably in the 25,000 class.
Today was a type of tea pairing and water pairing. A new type of style. I'm sure there will be a lot of disagreements.
The staff are all young. They have power. I can feel their power to do their best! I can feel their power.
I get a very good feeling from watching this place.
I would like to see the number of products to be reduced to about 20, and more flowery products added.
The last bean curd and 3 sweets. I enjoy talking with the chef and staff since there are fewer customers.
You can feel a pleasant distance. I would love to revisit with friends or girlfriends.

This restaurant serves not Japanese Chinese food but authentic local Chinese food. The sweet-and-sour pork is simply delicious. The thickness of the pork is not only great, but the sweet bean paste is superb. The octagonal flavor is addictive. There are also dishes that are new to me, such as duck tongue and rose tea. I could not order the stinky bean curd because of my fatigue. The waitress is an S.
There are a wide variety of parts of both meat and hormone, so if you are in doubt, a set is recommended. The Miyabi set came with 9 kinds of omakase meat. They are all rare meats such as Misuji, Geta, and Tomosankaku. Moreover, since it is A5 ranked Wagyu beef, there is no reason for the quality to be bad, and it is excellent. The grilled vegetable platter was a little stylish, including bell peppers. The bean sprout namul and other dishes were also delicious.

The cold glasses were tilted and all the dishes were presented in an interesting way, which made us excited every time they came out.
The waiter was very attentive and explained each dish perfectly, and told us about the dishes he was interested in, which made us feel his love for the food.
While we were talking, he also told us about a great cafe nearby, which we decided to go to afterwards.
It was a lunch time that really impressed me!
If I have a chance to come to Tokyo, I would like to visit again!
It was really delicious!
Thank you so much for the food!
