お肉料理が美味しい。 : Nicolas Chevrollier

Visited on a Saturday night. I made a reservation several weeks in advance. [Points] ○A casual French cuisine restaurant with only a counter run by a French chef. ○The appetizers were mainly seafood dishes, but the main dish, roasted veal, and dessert were delicious. ○The overall volume was quite large, and the wine was also good, so the cost performance and customer service were good. It's a good store overall. −− *Operation: Two operations *Customer demographic: Various *Payment: Credit card accepted *Charging and service fees: 500 yen *Online reservations: Available. One person allowed *Lunch time: Yes *Single visit: Possible *Google rating: 4.8 * Tabelog current rating and impression: 3.50 Reasonable impression *Notes: takeaway available [About the restaurant] A casual French cuisine with counter seating only. This is a restaurant run by a chef from Bordeaux, France, who was the head chef at hotels in Japan and French cuisine no French. Since it was previously introduced on Ad Street, I get the impression that it has become somewhat difficult to make reservations. We also sell takeaway such as canelés and quiches. It's close to the station. [Inside the store] There are 8 seats at the counter. The seats are widely spaced and there are partitions so you can relax. It's a two-person operation between the chef and the staff. The explanations of the dishes are thorough and the service is attentive. [Meal Contents] I had reserved the 10-minute belly course for 7,300 yen. There's a 500 yen charge for the bread, so it's actually 7,800 yen. Drinks include 3 types of wine by the glass. It costs around 1,000 yen, so it's a good deal since you can pour as much water as you want. The dishes are below. ○ Basil and yogurt Cream Puffs ○ White asparagus mousse and bonito mayonnaise ○ Shellfish, king kingfish, kadaif ○ Nicola's Forest Berrigole salad with foie gras mousse and gizzard confit ○ Deep-fried foie gras tofu ○ Gosho Gold granita ○ Roasted veal Madeira Sauce ○Pasta with basil and fresh tomatoes ○ Chocolate mousse and tonka bean ice cream ○Souvenir Canelé [Meal Impressions] As the course name suggests, it was a course with a large number of items and a large volume that would make you 10 minutes hungry. Last time I visited for lunch, I was very satisfied, but this time I wasn't as impressed as I was then, and I felt a little disappointed in the food. First, the bonito appetizer had a bit of a smell. I think it would have been nice to have more homemade mayonnaise with a bit of mustard. The next whelk also had a crunchy texture, probably because it had been chewed in sand. The crispy kadaif was interesting, but this dish was also a bit disappointing. Maybe you're not a big fan of seafood. The third dish, Nicola no Mori, is full of baby leaves, lettuce, and mushrooms! However, it might be a dish you'd want to eat first rather than as the third dish. The foie gras mousse is delicious, but it's a bit hard for a mousse, so I ended up having it as is rather than adding vegetables as you suggested. The taste was delicious. There wasn't as much gizzard in it as I expected, and it was a thinner, smaller cut. It would have been nice if the texture of the gizzard could have been felt a little more. The popular specialty foie gras fried tofu doesn't appeal to me either.The textures of tofu and foie gras are assimilated, and it is served with a strong consommé soup, so it's hard to feel the texture and flavor of foie gras. It seems like the good points weren't really taken advantage of. So far, is our French cuisine restaurant like this? The main dish arrived with this thought in mind. The roasted calf, which is raised only on milk, is very tender and has a slightly fragrant milky flavor that is also very good. It's not that it doesn't have flavor, it's meaty and very delicious. Madeira sauce adds richness. The garnished vegetables were also good with a variety of options. It was well balanced and one of the best Meat Dishes I've had recently. Since I had a choice of mains, I was hesitant about Nicola's beef confit, but the veal was very delicious. Finished with tomato pasta. You can choose the amount up to 120 grams. This is...hmm, I wonder if I can make it myself. Chocolate mousse and tonka bean ice cream for dessert were good. The mousse is thick, very creamy and smooth. I can feel the deliciousness of chocolate. The tonka bean ice cream has an unusual flavor similar to sakuramochi, but it is a side dish. I was a bit toned down before going to the main course, but the veal was very delicious, the customer service was good, the portions were ample, and the cost performance was good, so I think it's a good restaurant.

日曜日の昼に訪問。
ずっと気になっていた当店でようやく飲食しました。

店内はカウンターのみのこじんまりしたお店。
清潔感があり、席間隔も広く取られており、居心地よかったです。

2,800円のランチコースを事前に予約していました。お料理は以下です。
ワインは泡と赤をいただきましたが、どちらも良かったです。

○プチシュー
ピスタチオ？とヨーグルトなどのムースが入ったシューです。
複雑なお味で表現し難いですが、美味でした。
この先のお料理が楽しみになるようなアミューズです。


○フォッカッチャ
イタリアンもできるというニコラさんが毎朝焼いているというパン。
バター感が程よく、パクパク食べられます。


○前菜盛り
キッシュ、鴨肉、サラダ、野菜の冷製ポタージュ。

キッシュが大変美味で、今まで食べてきたのは何だったんだと思いました。
卵の味わいが濃くとろっとしておりました。

鴨肉はトマトと山椒のソースが、香りよく、ありきたりでない一品でした。

サラダも、ゴルゴンゾーラが入ったドレッシングであえられており、青カビがあまり得意でない私も美味しくいただけました。
ほんのりアクセント程度に香る感じで良かったです。

ポタージュは、ブロッコリー、レタスなどを使用したという一品。
こちらも複雑な味わいでしたが、バランスよく美味でした。

前菜をいただいて、香りや酸味の使い方が上手だなと思いました。


○お魚のフリットと豚肉のロースト
季節野菜が添えられております。
ごぼうは全くえぐみがなく美味。
まいたけ、にんにくはローストされて旨味が凝縮されていました。
丁寧なお仕事を感じます。

お魚のフリットは若干塩味が強い気がしましたが、白ワインに合いそうです。

豚肉はフォアグラのソースといただきます。
絶妙な火の通り具合で、柔らかく美味でした。


○パンナコッタ
たっぷりの量です。
ミルクの味わいが濃厚でした。
ナッツとハチミツといただき、美味でした。


コスパも良く、満足度の高いコースでした。
帰りにお土産でカヌレまでいただきました。

お店は、壁やお手洗いにニコラさんの写真が過去も含めたくさん貼られており、何か受賞されているようなものもあり、色々な実績ある方なのかなと思わされました。
お店のママさんが貼っているのですかね。「ニコラ愛」に溢れる店内でした。

次回はディナーコースをいただきたいと思いました。

連休に挟まれた平日の午後に訪問。
いつの日かのアド街に出演されており、ずっと気になっていたニコラ・シュヴロリエさんです。

散歩していたら、たまたま見つけたので、看板を見ていると、カヌレのテイクアウトを常時やっているとのこと。

様子を伺っていると、ママさんが外まで来てくれましたので、250円のカヌレを2ついただきました。

外はガリゴリ、中はふわとろのカヌレ。
バニラより、カラメルの甘さを感じるタイプ。
小さめではありますが、美味でした。

後日、店内の予約をしようとすると、すでに5月の土曜日はランチ、ディナーともに満席。

薄々気付いていましたが、地域では人気店のようです。
中央区のPayPayキャンペーンも適用されているそうです。

近いうちにお食事でお邪魔させていただきます。
