Supervised by :  Chez Hoshino

A French restaurant in the Oku-Nikko area. Its Western-style exterior blends seamlessly with the atmosphere of Lake Chuzenji, once a thriving summer retreat for foreign residents.

The restaurant serves rustic dishes infused with the chef’s fresh ideas. Both lunch and dinner center on reasonably priced course menus offering authentic flavors. Particularly popular are main dishes made with local ingredients such as rainbow trout, Yashio trout, and premium pork from Tochigi Prefecture. Another standout is an appetizer that pairs a hot-spring egg with yuba, a Nikko specialty. In addition to the courses, there is an extensive selection of casual dishes, including beef hamburger steak, daily pasta, and fragrant spiced curry.

The restaurant has several dining areas, including a room with a fireplace and views of Lake Chuzenji through the windows, as well as a room with a grand piano. The warm hospitality of the proprietress is also highly regarded, making it easy to understand why this popular restaurant has been loved for around 30 years.
