人気のフレンチバル♡ : Meieki Wine Akechi Shoten

My favorite bar in Meieki! ♡

I visited this place for an after-party. ♬

Since I had a full meal at the first party, I only ordered two dishes:
- Grilled Scallops with Crab Miso (JPY 680)
- Beef and Foie Gras Rossini (JPY 1,980)

For drinks, they had a special event this month, offering a sparkling wine bottle for JPY 1,600 instead of the regular price of JPY 2,600, so I ordered that. Such a great deal!٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

◆ Grilled Scallops with Crab Miso
My favorite dish! ♡
Large scallops topped generously with rich crab miso, served in the shell. (*´꒳`*)

The crab miso is incredibly rich! It pairs perfectly with champagne or white wine. It’s also delicious spread on a baguette!☆

◆ Beef and Foie Gras Rossini
Even with a full stomach, I absolutely had to try this dish.
Tender beef topped with crispy exterior and creamy foie gras—what a delight!ヾ(oﾟωﾟo)ﾉﾞ

At JPY 1,980, it's a bit pricey, but you won’t regret ordering it; you’ll find it's worth every penny considering the quality and portion size! (*´꒳`*)

◆ Overall Impression
Once again, I was thoroughly satisfied! ♡
With so many foie gras options, I highly recommend it to foie gras lovers as well!♬

I can't wait to go back again soon! ♡
It was a great meal.

November 1st.
Congratulations on the grand reopening!
I wasted no time and went right on the opening day~ (*´꒳`*)

Let's toast with some sparkling wine! (*ﾉ∀`*)

Now, what has changed, I wonder?
Time to check the menu!

The overall menu has definitely expanded! ☆
In addition to the previous French dishes, options like sweet and sour pork and TKG have been added.
There’s also a wider variety of assorted appetizers tailored for both white and red wine! (I forgot to take a picture of the menu...)
And the selection of bottled wines has increased too!

So what should I order?♬
Keeping the new menu in mind...

◆ Lyonnaise Salad with Bacon and Spinach (JPY 700)
◆ Quiche Lorraine (JPY 580)
◆ Tuna and Avocado Tartare (JPY 590)
◆ Salmon and Mozzarella Millfeuille Cutlet (JPY 980)
◆ Diavolo-Style Roast Chicken (JPY 880)
◆ Bolognese (JPY 880)

I went ahead and ordered these☆

◆ Lyonnaise Salad with Bacon and Spinach
This salad has been my favorite even before the renovation♡
It’s simple yet delicious (^^)
The runny egg on top is to die for ( ´ ▽ ` )

◆ Tuna and Avocado Tartare
The zesty lemon adds a nice touch to this dish (*´꒳`*)
The tuna looks beautiful, and the caviar on top makes me so happy!

◆ Salmon and Mozzarella Millfeuille Cutlet
This is a new menu item (*⁰▿⁰*)
The sauce made with seaweed and the accompanying salt kombu kelp gives it a Japanese flavor☆
It was incredibly tasty! New menu, watch out!

◆ Diavolo-Style Roast Chicken
Quite spicy, but in a good way (*´∇｀*)
The skin was perfectly crispy and delicious ♬

The quiche and bolognese were also very good〜٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Now, one of the reasons I came on the opening day!
A lottery where you can win wine tickets valued from JPY 2000 to JPY 5000!

I was hoping to draw the JPY 5000 ticket, but while I was in the restroom, my friend drew it instead (´･ω･`) boo

I ended up winning a JPY 2500 ticket!
I was thinking about when to use it, and I ended up using it during the after-party last weekend♡

↓↓ Below is the review from my second visit.

I was thoroughly satisfied from our first party, but I wanted to drink more! ♡
Alright! Let’s use the coupon I got last time! I made a last-minute reservation for this visitヽ(´ー｀)

Since the voucher could only be used for bottles under JPY 2500, I ordered some cider (^^)

Cheers!
It was sweet, but it's okay once in a while (p`･ω･´) q

◆ White Antipasto Platter (Prosciutto, Fried Olives, Cream Cheese) (JPY 790)
◆ French Fries (JPY 490)
◆ Seafood Carpaccio (JPY 790)
◆ Sea Urchin Pudding (JPY 620)

I ordered these!

Everything was delicious and paired perfectly with the drinks! ♡

Personally, the fried olives were a mega hit! I really loved them (〃ω〃)

There were some little hiccups, but overall it was a lot of fun!
I hope everything works out... (/ _ ; )!

The food was extremely tasty too ♬
I'll definitely come back soon (*´꒳`*)

It was a great meal!
