Tabelog ratingAt à table (a table), chef Takeshi Adachi brings the grand traditions of French charcuterie and game cookery to a relaxed bistro setting in Yushima. The restaurant’s reputation is built on two showstoppers: a pâté en croûte that placed third in a world championship, and a Lièvre à la Royale that won one. Both are signatures that draw diners from across the city for a taste of classical technique at its most opulent.
Guests consistently praise these elaborate, pie-wrapped preparations, noting the buttery, complex pastry and rich fillings. Other highlights include seasonal veloutés, precisely cooked salmon mi-cuit, and generous mains like pigeon or rabbit in pie. Portions are famously large and ideal for sharing; many regulars suggest that for two people, two starters and one main is plenty. The classic French desserts, especially the tarte tatin and millefeuille, are also highly recommended, as are the wine pairings selected by the in-house sommelier.
Diners should be aware that the food is unapologetically rich and hearty. Some also find the seasoning occasionally salty. Service can be slow when the restaurant is busy, so expect a leisurely meal rather than a quick one. While English menus are available, staff language ability varies, though many international visitors report a smooth experience.
Dinner typically costs between ¥15,000 and ¥19,999 per person. Reviewers in 2024–2026 paid around ¥4,400 for the pâté en croûte, ¥11,000 for the wild rabbit pie, and ¥1,430–¥1,650 for desserts. For those seeking masterful, classical French cooking, à table offers excellent value, but it is not a destination for a light or inexpensive meal.
