L'IGNIS — Restaurant in Tokyo

It has everything. Perfect for a date, a girl night out. Make sure to reserve.

Food: the liver mousse is a 10/10. The wood burning mashed potato is delectable. The drink Prickly Girl is like a playful, cheeky yet tender and sweet girl.

Price: reasonable. For 5,000¥, you can order a full course of: -2 appetisers -a salad -pasta -steak asparagus mashed potato -a drink

Location: 5 minutes walk from Ebisu station, right on the big road, can’t miss it

Space: capture attention immediately. Spacious enough that I did not feel empty or packed. Lighting was brilliant, warm, romantic, pleasing.

Atmosphere: urban chic, high class casual. The music is a bit upbeat jazzy and pop and bossa nova, mixed with conversations and dishes-glasses clutching, makes for the rounded experience.

Unique selling point: wood burning grill adds a smoky taste

Service: thoughtful,...

This place is well designed and offers a very nice atmosphere. The high ceiling and large space between each tables are well appreciated.

The (English) menu has plenty of options from starters to deserts. We started with appetizers, all very tasty (foie gras lollypop candy, pate de campagne and avocado with salmon). However, the main attraction here is the firewood grill. So, we tried the pork and the beef, well cooked and tender, which came along with some smoked oil extracted during the cooking! Very nice and not something we can see everywhere in Tokyo. Our bill was over 18,000jpy for 2, with some wine and with extra meat portions, so it’s fairly priced.

Oh, and I should not forget the smiling and attentive English speaking staffs.

Overall it was a very...

各種薪焼きの料理が名物の人気店。 恵比寿駅から5分ほど。

ガラス張りのお洒落な外観に飾られたクリスマスツリーが綺麗。

店内は特別広いわけではないが天井が高く開放感があり広く感じる。

天井近くにはワインボトルや本が飾られており暖色の照明も相まってハリーポッターのようなファンタジーな世界観で暖かみのあるお洒落な店内。

テーブルにはキャンドルが飾られて大人な雰囲気。

グラスワインが¥1000前後でとてもリーズナブル。 なんと一般的な90mlで赤白各¥380（税抜）〜用意されています。 安くても保存料や添加物の感じなく、味もしっかりしていて美味しかった。 もちろんボトルでは高級ワインもしっかりラインナップされています。

〜鳥白レバームースとパンデピス〜 聞き慣れないパンデピス。 フランス語でスパイスのパンという意味だそう。

こちらではパンというよりクラッカーのような薄い形。 パリパリの食感でしっかりスパイスの効いた味はレバームースとよく合います。

このクラッカーが無造作にムースに刺されていて見た目が芸術的。

大人のレバームース。

〜国産牛フィレのグリル〜 この日は特別にレギュラーのビーフステーキの値段でフィレを提供してもらえるとのことでそちらを注文。 赤身と脂のバランスのいいフィレ。 薪焼きの香りが美味しさ倍増させます。

サイドの『アスパラガスのグリル』と『薪薫るマッシュポテト』も一緒に注文。 太くて長い立派なアスパラは食べ応えあり。 青臭さもなく食べやすい。

〜長谷川マッシュルームのクリームニョッキ〜 マッシュルームといえば長谷川農園。 さすがマッシュルームの香りが素晴らしい。 粉チーズもかかっていて濃厚な味。

ニョッキはモチモチ。 ボリュームもたっぷり。

〜ガトーショコラ練乳ソルベ〜 ねっとりとした濃厚なガトーショコラ。 練乳ソルベと濃厚な組み合わせ。

This popular restaurant, known for its variety of wood-fired dishes, is located about five minutes from Ebisu Station. The stylish glass facade is decorated with a beautiful Christmas tree. While the interior isn’t overly spacious, the high ceiling and open layout give it a sense of roominess. Wine bottles and books are displayed near the ceiling, and the warm lighting creates a cozy, fantasy-like atmosphere reminiscent of Harry Potter.

The tables are adorned with candles, adding to the adult ambiance. Glass wines are reasonably priced at around ¥1000, with a selection of red and white wines available from ¥380 (tax-excluded) for 90ml servings. Despite the low price, the wines are well-crafted, without the taste of preservatives or additives.

Highlights include Chicken Liver Mousse with Pain d’Épices – a spiced cracker that pairs perfectly with the rich mousse. The Grilled Domestic Beef Filet is balanced with tender lean meat and a smoky wood-fired aroma. Side dishes like Grilled Asparagus and Smoked Mashed Potatoes complement the steak. For dessert, the Chocolate Cake with Condensed Milk Sorbet is...
