VIE DE FRANCE Bentencho — Restaurant in Osaka

We stayed at the hotel nearby and used this French/Japanese bakery for breakfast. We tried a few different things and everything was great.

The curry bread was almost sold out the evening before, so I thought it must be good and I was not disappointed: Crispy on the outside, dough not dry and the curry had an amazing taste.

The other breads were also very good:

Cheese bread was crispy outside and filled with processed cheese. I like the bread a lot but the filling not so much. But I guess this was the only way how they could achieve a nearly liquid texture.

Raisin roll was almost like in Europe, crispy, but not too dark outside and had pudding in the middle, just like in Europe.

Egg sandwich was very good as well.

Chocolate bread was a bit dry, but came with chocolate pieces, which made it more interesting.

Prices are very affordable and goods are freshly baked. Definitely try the...

Perfection! From the time of entering , till leaving, we were over joyed with the service and produce. It’s not very often I come across pastry that I couldn’t fault BUT the apples & custard nestled in the Mille feuilletée couldn’t be better. Apples were firm and cooked not sloppy! The red bean doughnut not covered in sugar and beans not overly sweet (the way I like it). The Mochi with perfectly roasted sesame seeds was special as well. The sandwiches looked superb with abundant amounts of filling. Luckily we discovered it one day before leaving Japan, looking forward to finding another store on...

Probably the best Asian-style bakery I’ve ever been to.

Amazingly creative and high quality ingredients.

The curry cheese bread is incredible.. pumpkin bread and halloween ghost bread, truly memorable.. And their French staples like pain chocolat and croissant based goods are all well above average.

You want to keep coming back until you’ve tried everything.. It’s that...
