Rank 4. Les deux
Bistro
A blackboard menu and an omakase format share the same dining room at this Nakameguro bistro, which sounds like a contradiction until the food arrives. The chef roots everything in French bistro cooking, then pulls in whatever the season offers, and the proprietress handles the wine. Portions run generous by design, and half-portions are available if you want to range wider across the menu.
