The commitment to "not letting you feel the commitment"

A casual sense of superiority, a comfortable sense of tension, and a fresh sense of anticipation. Au Goût du Jour is a French restaurant that will make you feel this way.
The unpretentious and attentive hospitality and the understated but impressive cuisine blend together very naturally in the carefully designed space.
Garcon Okabe Kazumi, who is constantly pursuing the ideal restaurant, met Chef Nakamura Yasuharu to create the miraculous French restaurant "Au Goût du Jour."
