Mari enjoys French cuisine... and as you can see my blog is mostly filled with things other than French. So... there was this spot she talked about in Takadanobaba... baba? French in college town baba? hmm... I always thought great French food could only be found in Azabu, Aoyama or Ginza. So off to L'Amitie we went.
Had to make a reservation 3 weeks in advance for a Saturday 7pm slot. L'Amitie offers an exceptional 2,700yen course menu only.
My first dish "Pate de Champage" was massive... the volume!
Mari went for the "Avocat Aux Crevettes" as her 1st dish. Shrimp on a Avocado.
So our Main meal begins...
Mari's 2nd dish was simply amazing, "Persillade De Travers de Porc" or the tenderest softest pork spare ribs you ever had on a bed of mash potatos... the green baked crust around the pork was... well you'll just have to order this. The best plate of the evening.
So so tender ribs.
My 2nd dish "Hachis Parmentier." It was a small baked dish with three layers... cheese, mashed potatoes and very tasty ground beef on the very bottom. It wasn't as amazing as the roast beef but still very memorable.
Dessert Menu.
Tried the "Sorbet a la fruit de la Passion" or fruit sorbet. Yum!
And a coffee to end the meal. L'Amitie is ranked a spectacular 3.89 on Japan's #1 Foodie Site and it didn't disappointed. For around 8,000yen we had an amazing meal that would easily be double that in posh Azabu, Aoyama, Roppongi, Ginza etc. We think a French family runs the spot... have to clarify this one day. Anyways if you want an amazing French meal then take the time to visit Takadanobaba... a very vibrant college town so it will be a fun stroll thru the neighborhood.
