In a residential neighbourhood of Higashi-Ogu, Arakawa City, Le Plat (る・ぷら) offers classic French cooking and Swiss-style cheese fondue in a calm setting. The meal can begin with garlic-grilled scallops, marinated Norwegian king salmon or an oyster appetiser—dishes that let the flavours of their ingredients come through. A carefully prepared potage soup follows, bringing a gentle rhythm to the course meal.

One of Le Plat’s signature offerings is cheese fondue, served in a warm pot at the table. Fondue sets pair rich cheese with warm vegetables, jidori chicken, prawns, scallops and bread. There is also a brighter tomato-cheese fondue, a refreshing option to enjoy with seafood. The Swiss-style course continues from appetisers and cheese fondue to a choice of fish or meat for the main dish, bringing the fondue’s full flavour together with a satisfying centrepiece.

Main dishes include fish cooked to a golden finish and tender meat dishes; dessert may sometimes come with delicate spun-sugar decoration. Piano music and ceramic art contribute to the calm atmosphere, and diners have chosen the restaurant for celebrations and family meals. Advance reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner, so booking ahead is the surest approach.
