RENARD BLE Exterior

RENARD BLEU, a French restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, is back in Karasuma!

December 13, 2024 open

RENARD BLEU is a French restaurant that was established in 2007 in the Karasuma area, moved to Kita-ku, and then returned to the city. The name of the restaurant, which means "blue fox," was named after a children's story that Mr. and Mrs. Taniguchi, the owner, love. When you open the bright red door, you are greeted by shelves lined with picture books, and the bright atmosphere of the restaurant, even though it is located in the basement, will make you feel at home.

I am happy to hear that the regulars from the first restaurant are happy that it is now easier to come by," says owner Naoshi Taniguchi (photo left), who has more than 30 years of experience as a French chef.

RENARD BLE Pasta of the day

The dish of the day is a fresh pasta with shrimp and broccoli in a tomato cream sauce from the set meal set (2,200 yen). The pasta is a perfect match for the chewy noodles and the tasty sauce with shrimp broth. Choice of two types of pasta.
