Cheval de Hyotan

Reservation is definitely recommended!! Small french/japanese restaurant, just close by ikebukuro station, manage by young couple, the man manage the tables and the female is the chef. i’ve usually eat here 3/4 times every year, food never disappoints! always great food combinations. Performance cost/quality is def high! Make a reservation and you will not regret it!

Perfect service, especially paring service. Lamb and fish dishes are the must. The atmosphere i so different from Ikebukuro hectic area. Must try!

I'm too poor to go regularly 😂😂😂 but the food was very nice and the staff were lovely. Incredibly friendly. The jasmine/mango/strawberry tea at the end was amazing. Apparently they won't be able to get the tea anymore because of the current war which is an absolute shame :(

Nice young couple that manages the place. They serve well prepared dishes, respecting the nature of the raw ingredients, with great good mood and big smiles, explaining what they serve you and sharing their experience. We really recommend this place for a good meal and cool time. Do not hesitate to take place at the bar to see the cook working. Magnifique 💫👌

Great food, great service. Been going for years, perfect place for a special occasion.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Not only food is fantastic, the plates they use are gorgeous. Not to mention, the service was amazing. I got chef's choice (omakase) and wine pairing. I was surprised to see Japanese sake in a pairing course. Dishes were not entirely "French" but I would say it was contemporary French. I'd love to go back there again.

Fantastic food and superb service! Best restaurant in Ikebukuro

A boutique French restaurant. Very friendly host and the food is delicious (French style cuisine cooked with Japanese produce).
