Giclette

The cuisine at Giclette reflects the unique partnership between Guillaume Dupré's French bistro sensibility and Kaori Endo's Japanese culinary background. This isn't fusion for fusion's sake—it's a thoughtful dialogue between two culinary traditions that share an appreciation for quality ingredients and precise execution.

The menu centers on small plates and sharing dishes that pair beautifully with wine. Japanese influences shine through in creative offerings like inari—seasoned sushi rice nestled in pockets of sweet fried tofu—and the ingenious mochi-gnocchi, which reimagines Italian pasta dumplings with the chewy texture of Japanese rice cakes. You'll also find makis with shrimp, onigiri rice balls, and delicate mochi desserts that showcase Endo's heritage.

French bistro traditions anchor the menu with impeccably fresh oysters, carefully selected charcuterie, and quality cheeses that provide familiar comfort alongside the more adventurous Japanese-inspired dishes. The kitchen works with seasonal, local, and organic ingredients whenever possible, reflecting the same natural philosophy that guides the wine program.

Dishes range from 5€ to 32€, with most falling in the lower to mid-range, making it easy to order multiple plates for sharing and exploration. The weekday lunch formulas (15€ and 18€) offer exceptional value, typically including a selection of the day's best offerings. The cooking style emphasizes clean flavors and quality ingredients over elaborate presentations—this is food meant to be enjoyed casually, paired with wine, and shared among friends. Whether you're grazing on Japanese tapas or indulging in classic French charcuterie, the menu invites you to explore, taste widely, and discover unexpected combinations.
