  • L'Amitie delivers a delicious French bistro experience at reasonable prices. This cute little restaurant is unassumingly tucked away near Takadanobaba station, and once past the doors, the smells of rustic French cooking take over.

    The best way to go here is to order a course menu that offers a choice of appetizer and main dish. The menu changes a bit according to the seasons, but some of the appetizers available include crudities, avocado and shrimp tartare, escargots and chicken liver mousse. We opted for a salad with shaved raw ham on top, which was well dressed but a generous slice of homemade pate wrapped in a fat netting and served with mustard and baguette slices stole the appetizer show.

    The main menu features some classics of bistro cooking such as steak et frites (steak and french fries) or charcuterie (cold cuts usually served with sauerkraut). The menu features a daily fish creation, which in our case turned out to be scallops browned in butter served with beans and a tomato sauce. The scallops were correctly cooked to a brown caramelized point on the outside and still raw in the center. The other dish was a leg of duck confit served on a bed of white beans and sausage. The duck’s skin was crisp and salty, while the meat was so tender it fell off the bone.

    L’Amitie serves wines by the glass and also carries some inexpensive bottles to go with your meal. This is a great find, and the kind of restaurant you wish not many people knew about so you can impress friends, dates and family when bringing them here. Beware that L’Amitie is small, so reservations are a good idea, especially if coming with a big group.
