After leaving Tokyu Ikegami Line Senzokuike Station, Café les glycines can be seen just after taking a right on Nakahara Kaido Avenue, across from the Senzokuike Pond. It is a great place to drop by after strolling around the Senzokuike Pond for a coffee and a galette. Galettes are a cuisine originating in Brittany, France. An easy way to think of them would be to call them crepes made with buckwheat.
Common crepes are made with flour, but galettes are made with just buckwheat, salt, and water, cooked thinly in a circular shape and toppings are put on. Depending on the toppings, galettes can be enjoyed as a meal or a dessert. At Café les glycines, buckwheat from Horokanai, Hokkaido is used, and you can enjoy the rich aroma of soba. Including the Galette Provence introduced at the beginning of this article, all galette menus are available for takeout.

Café les glycines was opened by an owner who has abundant experience living overseas. Various goods from overseas that the owner has collected as a hobby decorate the cafe, creating a charming and cozy atmosphere where a wide range of age groups can feel at home, but taking galettes and coffee to go to eat in a park is definitely delightful as well.

In Café les glycines, cups from DANSK are used, a popular brand inspired by Danish design.


The cafe even has an ornament of a witch that the owner purchased in Europe (left) and a pinball game (right)!

After about a 5-minute walk from Keikyu Airport Line Anamori-inari Station, pass through an alley in a residential area and you’ll find a small shop tucked away as if it is in hiding. It is a carry-out only brasserie specializing in authentic French cuisine opened by Chef Suzuki, who trained in Tokyo; Paris, France; and the Basque Country.
Not only classic dishes, but also dishes only available for a limited time using seasonal ingredients are lined up proudly in the showcase. The most popular dish is the Domestic Beef Cheek Stewed with Red Wine. It is in a microwave-safe container, so you can take it home, heat it up, and enjoy. Once it hits the palette, the flavor of the wine fills the mouth, and the tenderness of the well-stewed beef will surely surprise you. Petit cochon also offers Koushi no Tomato Sauce Ni (Veal Stewed in Tomato Sauce) (700 yen excluding tax), Yasai no Terrine (Vegetable Terrine) (400 yen excluding tax), Carrot la Paix (Carrot Salad) (350 yen excluding tax), etc. All dishes are reasonably priced. If you buy an appetizer, soup, entrée, and dessert, you can enjoy a full course French meal at home. An assortment of hors d’oeuvres perfect for a home party is also available for advance ordering.
Currently going up in the ranking is the Kuroge Wagyu Steak Bento (980 yen excluding tax). It is a gem that uses an abundance of select Japanese beef. Not only classic dishes and seasonal cakes, Petit cochon also has various kinds of baked goods as an added benefit.
