About this place
On the road from Oji Station towards Asukayama, BISTROT JUN is known for its beef tongue stew, slowly braised with aromatic vegetables and red wine. The tongue is tender enough to yield at the touch of a spoon, with a deeply savory sauce. Many diners seek it out at both lunch and dinner.
Careful preparation extends beyond the meat dishes to the fish and starters. Starters include house-made salmon marinated with herbs such as dill and country-style terrine, while fresh fish is seared until fragrant. Classic bistro techniques are evident throughout. A course may begin with clam chowder or a seasonal hot soup. Served with bread, each dish brings a satisfying sense of fullness as the meal unfolds.
At lunch, choose a meat or fish main from the well-priced course menu, then add gateau au chocolat or coffee and take your time over the meal. In the evening, you can linger over wine by the glass and small à la carte plates, or opt for a dinner course that runs from starters through to the main.
The small dining room has a calm atmosphere and limited seating, and it is not unusual for tables to be booked up at lunch or dinner. Whether you are planning an everyday meal, a more indulgent lunch or a relaxed anniversary dinner, booking ahead is a reassuring choice.
