Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan｜ビストロ ボナップ

If you want to get away from the tourist restaurants get yourself to Ofuna and visit Bistro Bonapp. Great food without the Tokyo prices. Go for the set menu at lunch or a la carte at dinner. Small place with only a few tables or be where the action is and sit at the kitchen view counter. The chef owner learned his trade in Bourgogne. Small but decent wine list. A very nice grappa to make your coffee coretto. After your meal visit the downstairs bakery - different owner - for a variety of breads and desserts.

I visited in April 2023 and ordered the lunch B course (appetizer, soup, fish dish, meat dish, dessert). For the meat dish, I chose grilled beef skirt steak for an additional 500 yen. For drinks, choose draft beer, two types of white wine, or a glass of red wine to match your food. First of all, the salad platter for the appetizer was very delicious, with a wide variety of types, and the taste of each ingredient and the flavor of the cooked food were diverse. I also feel originality in the addition of walnuts as an accent to the lentil salad. Overall, it was an appetizer that went well with wine. Next, the new onion potage, red sea bream and clams simmered in white wine, and grilled beef skirt steak were all delicious and filling. The skin of the red sea bream grilled with exquisite seasoning was exquisite. I made a reservation on a weekday and visited when it opened, and it was so popular that most of the tables were filled with reserved customers.

I came to ``Bistro Bonappe'', the number one bistro in Kanagawa Prefecture✌️ Bonappe is an abbreviation of the French word bonappetti, which means ``enjoy'' and ``eat a lot.'' The course meal I ordered was good, but I decided to stop. The appetizer was kadaif with shrimp and scallops for 1,600 yen, and the main dish was grilled black beef for 4,200 yen, bread for 200 yen, and Braumeister for 750 yen.The total cost was 7,425 yen. The taste of the shrimp and scallop kadaif appetizer was good, but I think it would have been more delicious if the scallops were cooked as they were without breaking them😋. The main course, grilled black beef, was filling and delicious😋😋😋 Next time, I would like to make a reservation and try the course meal!! ️❤
