La Marée Restaurant — Restaurant in Hayama

Atmosphere is very cozy, the “French Rivera seaside restaurant” thing is obviously going on in here.

Right after we were sat, the waiter announced that we would be having a pork course, which is incorrect given how we reserved the fish one. So we had to explain it to the waiter all over again. A small nuisance but a nuisance still. We had an olive oil and salt on plate prepared for us, but we had to ask for bread ourselves, and they brought it only after we got our first plate of asparagus salad, which was decent by the way. Same goes for water, you had to ask every time for a waiter to refill it.

A second plate: zucchini with a frozen ricotta cheese was okay, but I think there was too much of a jelly sauce.

Third plate: baby corn and a butter potato purée. Good. No complaints here.

Fourth plate: fish with lettuce and cabbage leaves. An okay one.

You can buy them at the restaurant and take them home on your way out, or you can buy them at their bakery by...

Beautiful restaurant serving french style cuisine on the second floor. The La Marée course took about 2.5 hours to finish and was incredible. I believe it might change but if you get a chance to have the anago with white liver eggplant chocolate and mint then you are lucky because that was mind blowingly gl delicious. The staff were very attentive but you could take your time to fully enjoy each dish. Beautiful view, especially during the sunset. Definitely make a reservation online and if you tell them that you're driving then they have a parking stall ready for you right across the street. I really want to try the cafe below soon and will definitely be...
