Benoit (東京, 澀谷區 / 渉谷區)

Run by Alain Ducasse, one of the genii of modern French cuisine, this restaurant offers diners a mix of great atmosphere, delicious food and attentive service. Consider it a great choice for the celebration of special occasions.

The place, decorated nicely in classic European style, is divided into 2 stories. The lower level included the reception and bar area for diners to enjoy a drink or two while waiting for their tables to be ready. Up the staircase to the upper level, it is where the dining room is situated.

We ordered the escargot and spider crab to start, followed by the baked lobster in lobster bisque and grilled black pork belly as our main courses.

Overall we liked our main courses a bit more than the appetizers though they were also very good. The pork belly had a very nice texture and was done to perfection. The lobster not outdone by the thick lobster sauce was probably the best dish out of the four.

Needless to say, we will definitely come back.
