Saitama, Japan｜Bon Appetit Pico

Ordered the fish and pasta of the day to go... Both were carefully packaged in bento boxes with plastic forks and chopsticks... The mushroom pasta was good but the salmon with cream sauce was truly superb... Price was very reasonable considering the excellent quality... I would eat in sometime if I lived closer, it had the perfect ambiance for enjoying a glass of wine with a date... It's not a huge place so make a reservation if you plan to eat in. Not sure if they're equipped to provide service in English.

My family and I went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch at the request of my mother-in-law. When I called in advance, I was told that they only accept lunch reservations for 11:00 or 11:30, so if I wanted to arrive later than that, I was advised to wait in line without a reservation. On that day, without a reservation, I went to the restaurant at 1:00 p.m., aiming for the end of the first lunch rotation, and there were 4 groups waiting to enter (we were the 5th group), 3 of which were sitting on chairs at the entrance. It seemed like it. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were shown to our seats, but from there it was relatively smooth, and even though there were 5 adults, everyone's first item was brought out in about 15 minutes. Also, when I brought my baby in a stroller, they took out one of the chairs from the table and served a glass of water for my baby with a straw. I went for a course (2,000 yen per person) that included two dishes and a dessert, but instead of coming with two small portions, both dishes were luxurious and voluminous, and I was very satisfied. My husband and I each had hamburgers with demi-glace sauce and chaliapin sauce, and of course the demi-glace sauce, as well as the chaliapin, had a taste that I had never had before, and I was very impressed. The recommended mermaid salad was loaded with seafood and looked beautiful, so I thought it was worth the 2,000 yen price alone. My husband ordered fried shrimp, which was also large and had a big impact. Even in a group of 5 adults, everyone's dishes (1st, 2nd, and dessert) were finished and delivered at the same time, so we were able to enjoy our meal without any awkwardness. Even though the restaurant was full, the staff were very attentive and provided pleasant customer service. The restaurant has a stylish atmosphere and the surrounding tables are spaced apart, so even when it was full, I didn't feel cramped. Mitarai was also stylish and clean. There is no space to change diapers for children. This is a store I want to go to again, even if I have to wait in line.

I visited Bon Appétit Pico near Iwatsuki IC. This is also a Western restaurant that I've wanted to come to for a long time. It's been around for a long time before I started riding at high speeds, but it feels like it's finally here. The store is not new, but it is clean. The female clerks are also more lively and nice. The menu is mostly set menus. This time I had a set of black curry, fried shrimp, and Gorgonzola bread gratin. First, the Gorgonzola Pan Gratin came. This was a side menu, but I ordered the S size and it was quite filling, and the gorgonzola was insanely delicious. I almost want a second helping. The fried shrimp is also crispy and good. It was my first time to eat black curry, and it was rich and delicious with a spicy aftertaste. I wondered if they didn't have pizza even though it was a Western restaurant. This place says it's Western food, but it might be French. The dried flowers at the entrance were so cute that I almost bought them.
