Restaurant Clos des Gourmets

What a special experience this was. The courses were well thought out with a balance of rich and hardy to light and refreshing. This was our first time tasting all the ingredients everyone talks about: caviar, wagu, truffles and foie gras. They were all prepared in an accessible way for those new to fine dining. The chef was an absolute gem. He shared with us his culinary history living in France for 8 years and bringing the cuisine back to Japan. At one point he noticed that I didn’t leave a speck of food left on my plate and gave me extra bread because “you need it”. He personally walked us out of the restaurant and waved us goodbye. On top of it all the price was amazing for the experience. When we come back to Japan we will be coming back.

OCT 2024 Visited here for dinner with a reservation for the premium course. It was a small restaurant operated by the owner and chef himself and I happened to be the only customer for the early dinner session so it felt like a luxury private dining experience. The course was quite substantial which includes a caviar and salmon roe appetizer, a cold pasta with blended saury fish, pate, pan-seared fish with squash puree and peanuts topped with shaved truffle, foie gras paired with mushroom, and wagyu cheek red wine stew; finished with a layered dessert of shine muscat, blue berry, puff pastry, marron glace and fresh cream. Overall it was a delicious and hearty French meal at a very reasonable price; pacing of the course was good and the chef was friendly and hospitable; he not only focused on cooking but also came to check if I needed anything between meals, refilling water and having small chats which was nice.

An incredibly sophisticated operation ran by just the chef himself. Every plate is well thought out and intricate, there is not a single miss in the course. Plus, the chef is particular about wine and the pairing offers value well beyond its price point. Overall, this might well be the best dinner deal you can get under 15K in Tokyo.

I dined with my family who lives nearby. We had lunch and this restaurant is usually do not serve lunch but it was Saturday when we dined. We tried the restaurant for the first time. We all enjoyed every dish which was prepared and served by the chef owner himself. We all had a 7-course lunch special. Every course was delicious. First: Caviar and smoked salmon Second: Poached egg in Squash soup with Truffle shavings Third: Cold pasta, Japanese pike sauce and grilled eggplant Fourth: Chicken Grunt Isaki fish, Barley and Manchurian wild rice Fifth: Foie Gras and Cep mushroom Sixth: Wagyu cheek stew cooked with red wine Seventh: Muscat, yoghurt and Chestnuts glacé The course was ¥9,000 each and the total bill with drinks and service charge was ¥49,280 ($332.10) for four persons. I would highly recommend this restaurant. However, there’s no elevator and this restaurant is on the second floor.

The food exceed it's value. Really good cooking and nicely balance . Wine and drinks are fairly priced. Will visit again.

2025年12月、ディナーに訪問。 ワンオペだと思えないくらい素晴らしい料理、手際、タイミング。1品1品大変美味しかったしペアリングのワインも量がたっぷりで、あっという間に酔ってきました。3年連続ミシュランガイドセレクテッドレストランに選ばれたのはうなずきます。 また行きたいフレンチにメモります。

白金台と目黒の間くらいにあるフレンチ、Clos des Gourmets。 正直、こんなにレベルの高いお店がひっそりとワンオペで営業していることに驚く。 ​店内はカウンターとテーブル席が数席のこぢんまりとした空間。シェフが一人で切り盛りされているんですが、その手際の良さと付かず離れずの心地よい接客が心地よい。 ​スペシャリテの「テットドコション」は豚の頭の色々な部位を使い、外側をカリッと香ばしく焼き上げていて、内側はゼラチン質でとろけるような食感。豚の旨味が凝縮されていて、これは必食。赤ワインとかなり合う。​ ​全体的にフランス料理の基本を大切にしながらも、シェフのこだわりが随所に感じられる料理でした。派手さはないけれど、心から美味しいと思えるものばかり。コースでデザートまで食べて成人男性が満腹になるボリューム感。

食材新鮮加上細心配搭令味道層次提昇。每道菜式也給予我們很多驚喜。特別喜歡金目鯛這道菜式，感謝主廚的用心，讓我們可吃到這麼美味的午餐。主㕑一個人負責所有工作，所以食客可以直接和他溝通，感覺真的很好。 期待下次再訪。
