W-A-W. Dinner at Frérot was by far the best culinary experience we had in Ishikawa. The chef is multi-talented and you can tell by the taste and the look of the plates that he had an excellent training in Tokyo. The chef uses French techniques on local products with a Japanese touch. His girlfriend is a very caring host, who is familiar with European wines. The squid served with mashed corn and a sauce of black ink and chicken broth was tastier than many dishes I had in Michelin star restaurants. The ganache with ice cream made of fig leaves was also outstanding. Above all, the atmosphere is laid back and even the chef as well as his wife are very open to give explanations in English. The chef even did efforts to replace beef because to accommodate my girlfriend’s food restrictions (by even putting the pancetta on a separate plate because he thought she did not eat meat at all and proposing to replace the meat by shellfish stock for the carbonara). What an asset...

逛完妙立寺與谷口吉郎・吉生紀念金澤建築館之後,我們沿著河邊散步,走過櫻橋之後發現這間小店,外觀用黃色的油漆塗成一間小房子的樣子,看起來很可愛,上網查了一下發現是法式餐酒館,而且賣不少自然酒,感覺滿不錯的,但是當天中午沒營業,於是準備隔天中午去吃。殊不知隔天中午一踏進門,老闆就說午餐是全預約制,我們楞了一下,只好摸摸鼻子離開,順便訂了隔天晚上來用餐。
隔天晚上七點進入店裡之後,發現位子不多,左邊吧台大概有 5~6 個位子,右邊則有 4 張 2 人桌,樓上似乎還有一張 4 人桌。整體來說位子不大,但氣氛很溫馨~我們看了菜單之後,想說下次不知道什麼時候才會來金澤,於是就把牛肉以外的食物幾乎全點了,事後回想當下真是大膽,沒吃過就點那麼多,但結果是非常好的!
從第一道冷湯就很令人驚艷,冷湯是用哈密瓜、小黃瓜、酪梨、薄荷、堅果、起司做成的,口感很豐富,很好喝又清爽開胃,很喜歡這一道~
第二道的沙拉也不錯,用菊苣、草莓、生火腿、薄荷、堅果做成的沙拉,沒想過可以把這些東西搭配在一起,酸甜的草莓跟鹹香的生火腿、爽脆的菊苣配在一起吃真是出乎意料的美味,口感也很多元,又脆又多汁,是好吃的沙拉!
第三道的主要元素是大蝦、紅奇異果、蘋果汁、絲綢乳酪,蝦子的熟度掌握得很好,蝦肉味道也很鮮甜,配紅奇異果非常好吃,整體看起來很美觀~
第四道很美味!章魚有很濃郁的焦香味,但是咬起來卻非常彈牙脆口,很好吃!黃色醬汁裡面好像有水蜜桃?跟青醬拌在一起很合,馬鈴薯球也不錯,滿喜歡這一道料理的!
第五道完全突破我的想像力,用 ricotta cream、芒果、加賀棒茶煙燻竹莢魚做成,醬汁有櫛瓜、薑、茴香,沒有想過把芒果跟炸竹莢魚放在一起,搭配醬汁非常清爽好吃,很愛這一道!
第六道最上面放的是自製的干貝醬、綠花椰菜,底下則是用蛤蜊高湯和奶油做的湯,湯非常濃郁鮮美,跟干貝醬拌在一起喝又是不同的美味,蛤蜊也很鮮嫩,湯底裡面的龍蒿葉味道很特別,是沒吃過的香料,這一道也很喜歡!
第七道則是用蘆筍來搭配煎真鯛,搭配開心果醬汁跟奶油醬汁,另外上面還有一些菜絲酸酸的不確定是什麼做的,真鯛魚肉超嫩但是魚皮很酥脆,單吃魚肉就已經很棒了,配上兩種醬汁也很美味,喜歡這一道!
第八道的烤能登豬肉也很好吃,搭配覆盆子醬很清爽解膩,青江菜烤得非常軟嫩,是很不錯的一道~
最後的月桂葉冰淇淋跟底下的檸檬奶酪也很棒,從沒想過這個味道可以做成 Gelato 呢!要不是吃很飽了我就再點一份來吃~而且搭配冰淇淋的甜酒 Domaine Des Grottes Cloche Pied...
Read moreA wonderful, warm, creative experience from start to finish. Fun atmosphere that rides the line between stylish and familiar, rustic and chic. The chef is friendly and does his best to explain things in English if you need it. My wife and I live here, so we sometimes crave Western food, but even if you're visiting Japan I recommend Frérot because the chef uses local and seasonal ingredients in unique ways that feel like the best of "east meets west". We will...
