(RESTAURANT CLOSED ON APRIL 1, 2019)
The Bistro Capricieux is located in a quaint free-standing
former family home tucked into the North Side of Odakyu Noborito Station. The restaurant was opened and continues to be
directed by Chef Kikuchi, a graduate of the respected Tsuji Culinary
Institute. It’s been our “go to” dining
choice for several years and without conscious intent have kept it a
secret. The service and French culinary
preparations have been Excellent.
The staff take the extra steps necessary to make an
Anniversary or birthday memorable and they welcome regular customers with
enthusiasm. (Several of the staff are
good musicians and will sometimes lead renditions of happy birthday with
guitars and accordions.) It’s been a
good run and we’re gratified to report that recent changes have made the dining
experience even better. The staff are
enthusiastic and passionate about their craft.
We’ve ordered a la carte but have found the best value to be
the Set Menus. Dishes that come with the
combinations are usually enjoyable and the encouraged experimentation pays
off. Recently we’ve started working with Tsuyuzaki
san the Matre’d to pair each course with appropriate wine selections. It makes for a fun evening as Bistro
Capricieux offers interesting selections for wine by the glass.
Bottles are brought to the table to assist with the decision making process.

The Chef Yuki Kitada has brought new life to the kitchen and
the results have been terrific. He’s
doing his homework and his creative offerings are presented well and taste
great. We’ve been impressed by dishes
prepared with seasonal vegetables, fresh fish and interesting main course specials
including wild boar and venison. Last
night’s favorites were Moroccan Lamb and Ayu
(sweetfish), a river fish caught in Shizuoka.
Deserts such as caramel mousse and rare cheese cake are prepared by the
Bistro and will not disappoint you.
