Not only the taste! Very popular restuarants with high quality services

In Kichijoji where declicious food gathers there are several restaurants that you can’t book easily. So in this column, I, who have lived in Kichijoji for 25 years, (@manaboo_y)picked up some restaurants that I think it is difficult to make a reservation. Most of the restaurant, of course, serve delicious dishes but not only this. Their services are fabulous. ※I am not saying that you can’t book at all. What I am to say here is it is better to book in advance if you want to reserve at exact date and time that you want.

1.Cafe RIGOLETTO

RIGOLETTO is a Spanish Italian style restaurant. This restaurant locates in Roppongi, Marunouchi, Shinbashi, Nakameguro and Yokohama. Just hearing this, you can imagin how popular it is. Since I love RIGOLETTO so much, I have used this restaurant not only in Kichijoji but also in all other towns as well. Needless to say the dishes are good, but they really care about customer and their services are perfect. It makes me feel “I had a great day!”.

Torattoria Ciccio opened in 2014 so it’s quite new. But it is already admitted into one of the popular restauran in Kijyoji. Although there are only 24 seats and it is not spacious, owner gives us friendly and polite service. Moreover, he recommends us a wine, so we have to be careful not to drink much.

There is no need to say that this is the reasonable French restaurant run by Uokin. The most recent weekend is always full with reservation. If you want to go on weekend, reserve there 1~3 months before.
