Lugdunum Bouchon Lyonnais

Wonderful Veuve Clicquot champagne dinner at Lugdunum for the restaurant’s 18th anniversary. Located in Kagurasaka, the place is a Lyon style specialized bistronomie bouchon This year, the theme was “Homage to Paul Bocuse”, and it was a chance to enjoy special dishes from Chef Christophe and his team — including the iconic VGE black truffle soup, Salmon and Caviard Duo, "Rouget en ecailles",.. As you can see in the pictures, everything was gorgeous. Among the drinks, I had a particular fondness for the Extra-Brut Extra-Old cuvée, which was truly extra-wonderful, not to mention the rose, and the flagship : the Yellow Label. Even if you missed this event, no worries — at Christophe’s, every day is special, and the service is always perfect, do not hesitate to step-in.

I’m from the Lyon region and everything was nailed. I brought a Japanese friend who had never tried Lyon cuisine so we tried as many of the traditional dishes as we could : The pâté croûte was probably the best one I’ve had, Iwate pork is really nice. L’assiette de cochonnaille was also good. Great bread too, it’s not common in Japan. I think I would have preferred the quenelles plain because I like their soft texture the most but I understand the chef’s idea of bringing crunch with small fried crustaceans. Cervelle des canuts was also good. Thé île flottante was perfect, tarte aux pralines was good but I prefer softer ones. The vacherin was extremely refreshing, especially given how hot it is in Tokyo right now. Left the place really satiated. Given the prices of bouchons in Lyon now, this one is in line with them so it’s entirely worth the money in my opinion and will give you a great exposure to our hearty cuisine

Nice meal, reasonable price. Actually very large portions for the course menu, I felt so full I couldn't even finish everything. The food was all quite good, but I don't really think anything in particular stood out to me. The place is tiny and there is very little room been tables. It's also has bad acoustics and very bright lights, but despite that the waiter will complain if you're talking too loudly. My Japanese friend got hushed a couple times. So that's very annoying. A place that looks like that, especially if they want to have an authentic French atmosphere, should be a bit more convivial. Overall, I'd consider going back, but they should really embrace the French bistro feel and encourage customers to laugh a bit.

Coming from France, Lyon, I was honestly surprised to be able to find a restaurant with quality that could match Lyon one 🦁 From appetizers to dessert, everything was good and made to match Japanese taste without forgetting Lyon root 👍🏼 Price is correct, service is okay and it’s better to book !

Food was alright. Most dishes were overly salted. Some dishes were very confusing on the flavour profile. Their *famous* cheese sauce with bread, was a huge miss. Garlic overwhelms EVERY single flavour of the dish, such as the herbs, cheese and olive oil. Overall, it is a huge miss for me. Definitely not worth the 1 Michelin star. There are other French restaurant with 0 accolades that can do better. Service was superb. But other than that... nah.

Stellar and amazing food and service. Had lunch today and it did all to impress. The restaurant is small as. Like a lovely French bistro in France. I enjoyed all my courses and we added a carafe of wine and bottled sparkling and still. Water here is a little expensive however for a restaurant average. We started with the white asparagus and the house deli platter. Both were delicious. The soup was an onion soup with crunchy croutons that were so delicious! A simple dish with a modern twist that worked well with the veal stock whirled into it for presentation and flavor. We upcharges for the lobster and ravioli and then ordered the duck. The dishes were magnificent and the presentation was unique. I never knew I was missing fish mousse ravioli until today! The dish was served with lobster tail which was very good. The duck was a perfect medium rare and the reinforced carrots and polenta were a wonderful compliment to the melt in your mouth texture and taste of the duck. The house cheese with herbs and garlic was an all around soft cheese which works for all even those who don’t love cheese. My husband did an add on of two cheeses so he could try the blue. He loved it for its taste and creaminess. Next we had dessert. We tried the house special dessert which was hot chocolate mousse and pistachio ice cream. Then the dessert which had meringue and fruit. All items were pleasing visually and taste. We so enjoyed our lunch and we didn’t hold back ordering exactly what we wanted to try. This was the perfect meal and we will bring friends here for sure. All dishes were worth the price except maybe the asparagus appetizer which was ¥2100 extra. Lobster was ¥3500 upcharge however worth it.

We ordered the Menu des Canuts for lunch. Also it is recommended that you make a reservation, all of the tables were taken when we arrived. We had a five step menu, which included an appetizer, soup, a main dish, a plate of cheese and dessert. For appetizer, main dish and dessert they will give you a few options to choose from. And for dessert they will offer coffee or tea. The dishes were delicious and very elegant. The waiter recommended a non alcoholic cocktail that we ended up ordering, and it was a great choice for the whole meal. I would also like to point out that our waiter was very friendly and gave detailed explanations of the food and options. I was so glad that he was our waiter :) The only thing that came to my attention was that the service was kind of slow at the beginning, but began to speed up by the end luckily. Other than that, the experience was amazing and I would highly recommend getting lunch there, since it’s not so expensive for a Michelin restaurant and you still get high quality food and service! Would definitely come back!

Great atmosphere, amazing plates that convey authentic French tastes in a beautified manner. The boudin noir is such a lovely presentation !! Fantastic job and the service was great too!

When in Tokyo, try a Michelin start restaurant! I'm beyond glad we came here for lunch. I picked this place based off some reviews I had seen on yelp and other sites. Their lunch is a fantastic deal. We chose the 3 course lunch (about $30) that included bread, appetizer, entree and dessert. Some items had an up charge. Everything I ate was delicious and had a great presentation. The standout of my meal was the incredible fish special, with a risotto, beet sauce and crispy skin. My husband's best thing (maybe even better than my fish.. if possible) was the chocolate souffle. It was rich and delicious. We were stuffed at the end of the meal and with both of our meals, a glass of wine and the souffle additional cost we only spent around $75. Service was amazing. They had an english speaking waitress who explained the menu to us, gave suggestions and was the person who mostly served us. It was everything you would expect from a restaurant with a Michelin star and more. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and I would return for lunch in a heart beat.

Located in an area that might be called "Little France," due to the nearby location of a French school, LBL was a revelation for me. I ate there twice in the span of three days. Beautifully prepared food at an amazing price for a Michelin starred restaurant. First rate service from a friendly staff. You can't go wrong by following the chef's selected dishes. They also have an amazing selection of Chartreuse with which to finish things off. Really worth seeking out.

What a wonderful meal. From the delectably rich foie gras pate with thick, buttered Brioche toast point, to the delicious escargot appetizer, to the perfectly-cooked lobster, to the blood sausage with potato puree, to the sublime fig tart with a wonderful ice cream for dessert (was it cardamon ice cream? I'm forgetting--but I do recall that it was wonderful.). The service was exceptional, as well. Rarely does a waiter describe food in with such care and attention to detail both when taking the order and when serving.

A nice little French restaurant located in a side street in Idaibashi. This is a Michelin Star restaurant. I went for lunch. They offered a 2 course meal for less than $20.00 USD. The first was a nice, fresh salad. The main dish was a fish. Such a delicious restaurant!! English menu available.

Exceptional French bistro (Michelin *) with excellent food and service at a reasonable price. We would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was excellent, my wife and I both had the lobster which was fantastic. The service very attentive and cordial, he spoke English very well. Nice reasonable wine list that concentrates on Burgundies. Its a smaller place and the tables are fairly close but manageable. We had a lovely discussion with the Japanese couple sitting next us, they knew we were visitors and went out of their way to be friendly. We had a great evening.

Both lunch and dinner were excellent. Especially, lunch at the window side of the 2nd floor on a sunny spring day was the best. Restaurant itself is cozy and casual, but every dish brought me a great joy. Very tasty.

Great French restaurant, very reasonable prices. The waiters are about to understand and speak basic English. The food is very tasty and traditional of Lyon food.

Excellent French restaurant with a great selection of dishes and a very good wine list. The restaurant has a Michelin star for many years and this speaks for itself. Highly recommended
