Le Midi

At Le Midi, lunch unfolds in courses, with each arrival bringing something new to look forward to, from an appetiser selection to dessert. One diner recalled that the appetisers were served in a wooden box, making the moment of lifting the lid part of the occasion. The lunch course includes assorted appetisers, seasonal soup and a choice of fish or meat for the main, followed by the dessert of the day and coffee or tea.

One visitor was surprised by how delicious the carrot soup was and also remarked on how tender the pork was. Another diner described a lunch of appetisers featuring vegetables and seafood, followed by carrot soup and pork, enjoyed with a second helping of bread. Main-course options include fish or meat, and the menu also lists Chami pork, Tajima chicken and fresh fish of the day from Kizu Market.

For those in the mood for meat, a course that requires a reservation lists duck or Japanese beef fillet as the main. Dinner follows a similar progression: appetisers, seasonal soup, the day’s fresh fish, a main, dessert and coffee or tea. The options include a duck-centred course as well as a reservation-only course with Japanese beef fillet.

Dessert makes a final impression with a presentation that feels like opening a box. Visitors have described a two-tiered lacquered box filled with an assortment of sweets, with one saying they were able to take home what they couldn’t finish; another mentioned taking home baked sweets. The menu also lists a format where diners can choose as much as they like from a dessert trolley, so offerings appear to vary by course and season.

Some diners remember dipping their bread into the sauce or having another helping, making it a welcome part of the meal through to the last bite. Reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner, so it’s worth checking availability in advance if you have a particular course in mind.
