美味しいフレンチビストロ : Bibi Tachikawa Honten

The other day, I visited this French cuisine Bistro for lunch. "B: Sumi to Wine Bibi Tachikawa Main Branch". It's a little far from the south exit of Tachikawa Station, about 7 or 8 minutes on foot. It's in an area called Nishikicho, and the restaurant was in a corner of a residential area. The exterior has a slightly unusual taste, like emerald green. It's clearly different from the surrounding apartments (lol). In a place like this... Apparently they used to do business lunches, and that was Oyako-don (Chicken and egg bowl) that many people (although the number of reviews is extremely few) ate. Recently, they discontinued that and are now doing lunch courses for 2,500 yen and 3,500 yen. It may have been Oyako-don (Chicken and egg bowl) that they started to serve to let customers know about the restaurant, but perhaps the chef wanted to be a French cuisine Bistro after all. I don't know where he trained, but I think that's fine. Now, as for me, I had the [B: Bistro Lunch Course 3,500 yen]. [U: They also serve the course for one person, so that's good]. The difference between 2500 yen and 3500 yen is that there are more appetizer options and the main course is fish and meat. By the way, it seems that the 3500 yen course cannot be made unless you make a reservation. But if that's the case, it seems that they would have to write that purpose on the blackboard at the entrance or something to make it clear. There was nothing written on the menu outside or inside, so it's a bit hard to understand... When I looked at the website later, I could barely read that. I think it would be better to break it into lines or write it separately. Well, it might be none of my business. It's hard to understand for first-time visitors. https://vvt.shopinfo.jp/ Anyway, I was served [b: Today's vegetable parfait Amberjack carpaccio Pan-fried threadfin tuna Rib roast Dessert Coffee]. Today's [b: Vegetable parfait] seems to be carrot mousse. There is jelly underneath. It's refreshing and delicious, but it doesn't taste much like carrots... Personally, I think it could have tasted more like vegetables. The appetizer was [b:Amberjack Carpaccio], and as you can see, it was beautifully arranged on a [u:refreshing blue plate. The radishes and radish sprouts were refreshing and delicious. The sauce was a refreshing vinegar-based sauce with a sour taste.] It seems to go well with white wine. For a glass of white, I ordered [b:2016 Quincy Sauvignon Blanc 800 yen]. Quincy (Quincy) is not often seen in Japan, but it is a wine from Saint-Loire-Nivernay in the Loire region of France. When you think of the Loire region in France, you think of Sauvignon Blanc. When you think of Sauvignon Blanc, you think of the Loire, and the Loire region is famous for its Sauvignon Blanc production. However, according to the clerk at the wine shop I often visit, when it comes to Sauvignon Blanc, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé near the Loire River are famous, and these are the ones they have in their shop. To be honest, this was the first time I saw a quincy wine in a restaurant. It was a dry wine with a strong citrus flavor. It had a strong mineral taste, which made it a perfect match for carpaccio. This is what they call a perfect marriage. I wonder if the chef chose it? If he chose quincy on purpose, it seems quite core... [b:Bread] was a fluffy type at first, and the one they brought out later was a bit chewy, like it contained whole wheat flour. I thought it was nice that they served two types of bread for lunch at this price range. It also came with olive oil. And the olive oil had a grassy taste that I like. [b:Poached threadfin bream] was also crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The okra garnish was also nice, and the fish dish in cream sauce was also good. It was presented beautifully, which was nice. This would go well with white wine. [b:Rib roast] seems to use Australian beef. It was served with asparagus, eggplant, potato paste, etc. The sauce was like a wine rouge, but it seemed like the flavor of the meat had melted into it. The meat was rather light, but the sauce was rich and delicious. It was well balanced when eaten together. So I also ordered red wine [b:2016 Piemonte Barbera 800 yen]. The reds were Syrah and Barbera, and between the two, I preferred Barbera, so I chose that. When it comes to Italian wines, I still like Montepulciano the best, but Barbera is also lighter than Syrah, so it was good. I thought Barbera would be a more acidic and sharp wine, but it was a little rounder and easier to drink. This was also quite delicious. [b:Dessert] was a choice of one from chocolate cake with rum ice cream, pear compote, or Earl Grey creme brulee. I chose chocolate cake with rum ice cream. This is a chocolate cake served with rum-flavored ice cream, a simple but good combination that never fails. It was a well-made dessert. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, [u:There are table seats and counter seats. It has a stylish feel. There were hangers and luggage baskets. ] It's nice. I wonder if it's run by a married couple. The woman seems friendly, and the chef seems to be a craftsman and not very good at interpersonal relationships, but well, that's just how it is. This is just my impression. I think the greeting could be a little more energetic... Other than that, I have no particular complaints, so it's not reflected in the score. [u:It was lunch, but it was convenient because they accepted credit cards]. The food was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I think it would be better to post signs and explanations that are easier to understand for people who just drop in, but it was a good restaurant that I would like to visit in the evening. I will introduce it to my colleagues. Thank you for the meal.
