Went to Gosho to enjoy the weather and
forgot your picnic? Don’t want yet another conbini onigiri?
Café Liberté (Teramachi/Nijo) is here to liberate you with
simple yet authentic French food – and for excellent value too.
Lunch consists of 5 – 6 starters and
main courses, featuring French classics such as quiche and confit de canard. For
best value, choose one of the two plats du jour, which include a main, a salad,
and bread, for a reasonable 1000 yen.
There is also a selection of baguettes
which can be combined with a soup and salad or a pommes-frites and drink set.
The baguette is really authentic and all the fillings are fresh and tasty.
Furthermore, they’re not drowning in mayonnaise or a suspiciously sweet sauce,
as so often found in Japanese sandwiches.
For those who want take-away, there’s a
bakery which offers a variety of sandwiches and pastries, including some crisp pain
au chocolat.
On my last visit, I took the
hamburger-steak cooked in a red wine sauce. I’ll let you judge from the photo.
But yes, it was very good.
