The concept of our restaurant is to provide authentic French bistro fare. Our customers often comment on the authentic atmosphere, the friendly, but professional service, and the presentation of our dishes.

We do call ourselves a gfusionh restaurant because we do fuse our cultures. Our staff is primarily Japanese, including the chef, pastry chef, and Japanese culinary educators. Therefore, in spite of the classic French bistro concept, you will see some gJapaneseh type dishes slipped into the menu. Our spicy mayonnaise tempura has been a long time favorite and has stood the test of time since it always seems to survive our menu revisions.

The other Japanese aspect of our food is not as obvious but includes the Japanese aesthetic eye to detail, presentation, and freshness of each ingredient. We also serve creative, innovative sushi from our lounge next door. Our sushi chef adjusts his sushi and creative roll combinations according to the season. If you like sea urchin, come early in the week, since he often has great gunih for the early foodies.

Finally, our pastry chef will dazzle you with innovative and original pastries. We emphasize the pairing of wine and food. All of our wines are specially priced and represent incredible values. If you are still not convinced of our special oasis in Teaneck, NJ, donft take our word for it, read what the critics say in our restaurant reviews featured in the Bergen Record and most recently, the New York Times.
