Florilège Review

The restaurant offers high-end French cuisine with Japanese characteristics unsurprisingly, it has two Michelin stars. The dinner menu consists of 11 side dishes. The flavors of mushrooms, cheese, truffles, beef and Ayu fish stand out. The whole package is balanced. The waiter recommended the wine with the price of 1.3 10,000 yen, because it contains some high-end wines, such as L. Boillot Nuits Saint Georges, Comte d'angerville Meursault, and a great sake, as well as high-quality Acacia white wine from Nagano (Sauvignon blanc). The restaurant itself is very comfortable, The dining table seating is centered around the open kitchen.

Florilege is located in Shibuya District, Tokyo, and during our short stay in Tokyo, we went there for lunch (the Hyatt Regency Ginza we stayed at won us two seats, which is commendable). Everything was well arranged, from decorations, cutlery, food plates, food tastes to wine and drinks. It was a very engaging experience to watch the open kitchen operate. The food was fantastic. Like it. No wonder it is one of Asia’s top 50 restaurants! My friend said we should order an 11-course lunch instead of a 7-course lunch. I said, "We'll do it next time!" Will definitely go again!

Once the top three restaurants in Asia, a group of creative restaurants made by ideal Japanese young people, with European elements to join Japanese ingredients, feel more authentic than European, mainly in line with Asian tastes.

This store is booked in advance, but there was a small error in the first three days of the trip. It should be that I remembered the wrong appointment time. I mistakenly thought that the result was the 28th of the appointment on the 30th, and at noon on the 28th, I had lunch in another restaurant that was booked. I completely forgot this one. Friends who helped me make an appointment were called countless times by the store, and the Japanese were really dedicated. I thought I didn't mean to put pigeons. This time I wanted to eat. I basically had no drama. I didn't expect that I left Tokyo on the 30th to try to communicate with the store and was understood and arranged to eat. Fortunately, there is a help chef in the restaurant who can speak a little Chinese, so we communicated very well, and the original oolong incident was cancelled. The restaurant is very hidden and difficult to find. I walked all the way from Omotesando. I wandered at the crossroads of 2 Chomes in front of the Shen Palace for a long time. Finally, I found out that the store was hidden in the basement! Before entering the store, I have been impressed by the unique modern art design. The restaurant opened on time at 12 o'clock and we were allowed to enter for a little rest in advance. I came earlier, and there was a pair of foreigners in the same batch. When I waited, I saw the awards and medals of many 50 best Asian restaurants hanging in the store, but I was even more fortunate that the Tokyo Michelin 2018 guide had just come out two days before I came. His family has risen from one star to two stars. It can be seen that it is still recognized by the judges. When the restaurant used the review positioning, it was also found that the god bodyguard (Den) even opened the new store here, it seems that it is 100 meters away from Florilege. And the spread is just from one star to two stars, the two chefs are still good friends, really double happy door Florilege seems to have no separate private room, the oversized bar around the kitchen for a week, not even glass, you can have zero distance with the chefs when dining, The experience is really great! The decoration style of the restaurant and the kitchen is simple and elegant, unlike the ordinary French restaurant, which is rigid and overly gorgeous. The Florilege is dark overall, which is also a popular style in recent years. Compared with several other well-known French meals of the same type in Tokyo, Florilege is better booked, and there is no limit to the number of people dining (I am a person), the price is also the most close to the people, especially the lunch at noon, and the last tax and service fee is only 8,000 yen. It is less than, but there are a lot of dishes to eat. Seeing the menu can feel like a very careful store. Every dish, a cute and handsome Taiwanese brother will come to help me explain. This is really a big gift. Everyone knows that Japanese English is not good. Change to a Chinese-speaking explanation dish will make me better. Learn more about the details of this restaurant and have a deeper understanding of each dish. Appetizers are full of surprises, first of all, the plate is very creative, made into a mini version of the shape of roasted sweet potato, in fact, a variety of potatoes mixed into mud and then added cream butter and other ingredients made of small desserts, the plate is also very elegant, it is a perfect opening! Next to it is a modified pasta, the ingredients are very rich, there are half-raw fish, special tomato bacon and the most colorful onion ice cream, the combination of the taste is quite powerful. From time to time, a freshly baked bread will be served, and you can match any dish sauce

I really liked sitting around the open kitchen. The restaurant waiter was very nice and every dish was delicious, even if I wasn't used to the taste of some of them. I don't know if it's all the same in fine Japanese restaurants, but I don't want to join the drinking queue, and no one invites me to have a cocktail or do anything else. It’s not the best restaurant I’ve ever been to, but if you like gourmet cooking restaurants, it’s worth a try.
