About this place
Choosing a course for the game consommé is one way to enjoy bistro Chic. Diners who have tried it recall its clear, savoury flavour and wild aroma; one also praised the venison roast for its tender, lean meat and red wine sauce. The Japanese tableware and presentation have made an impression too, making this a pleasing choice for anyone looking to take their time over a French course meal.
The listed dinner courses centre on Menu Blanche, featuring venison, and Menu Chic, which includes venison and wild boar. Menu Blanche (¥10,980) comprises 2 amuse-bouches, a starter, forest consommé, 2 kinds of homemade bread, a main course, 2 desserts, and coffee or tea. In Menu Chic (¥16,000), the starter comes in 2 varieties, and the soup is the house speciality: game consommé made with game from Miyama. It also includes 3 amuse-bouches and petit fours, offering a slower-paced meal with venison and wild boar.
Menu Plaisir, a full course featuring bear, venison and wild boar, is also available for ¥50,000. It includes 4 amuse-bouches, 3 starters and 2 main courses. The restaurant lists it as limited to 1 parties per day and requiring a reservation at least 1 weeks in advance, so contact the restaurant early if you are interested.
At lunch, Menu Du Jour costs ¥3,800 and includes a starter, potage, homemade bread, the day's main course, dessert, and coffee or tea. It is available to diners booking for 2 or more. A chef's game lunch course (¥8,800) is listed separately. It includes forest consommé, 2 kinds of homemade bread and 2 desserts, and suits those looking for a game-focused course at lunchtime.
Both lunch and dinner require reservations by the day before, and the restaurant serves courses only, with no à la carte menu. Diners describe a small, quiet space with counter and table seating. Some also mention pairing wine with their course, making bistro Chic an option for an evening built around game and a drink.
