Frenchman Xavier Riesser, fluent in Japanese and English while retaining his mother tongue, owns and operates his business in a small barn-red building tucked in the alley between the Chanel building and Kiddy Land on Omotesando-dori. There are about 5 tables inside and around 6 tables outdoor dining. On an agreeable day and evening, it is quite pleasant to dine outdoors, under the shade of the trees, watching young people stroll in the alley that is closed to vehicular traffic. That area is a major intersection for eateries: the Thai restaurant Kaffir Lime is located not too far away from this place.
We have come here usually for the dessert crêpes. Japanese precision (the cook is a young Japanese fellow) on producing another culture's cuisine was on display here as the crêpes came out just as the ones we have always had in Quartier Latin in Paris. Occasionally there would be a special crêpes of the day, but the regular ones include Belle Hélène and Suzette. After dinner elsewhere, do stop by here for a nice cup of coffee or cappuccino or sparkling water with those delicious crêpes.
