    Tokyo Meguro-ku Nakameguro 1-10-23 Riverside Terrace 1F
    A charming, hideaway-style cafe located in Nakameguro, Meguro City, Tokyo. Huit carries an abundant selection of wines and the numerous dishes prepared by its chef are all both exquisite and hearty. The restaurant offers a daily plate lunch and the bread baked fresh here daily is all-you-can-eat. The homemade cakes and seasonal fruit desserts are also recommended. Huit's popular strawberry tarts often sell out before dinner. The restaurant offers a special spring-only dinner menu and during this time you can enjoy your meal while gazing at the blooming cherry trees along the Meguro River.

    Great little French bistro. Not fancy or expensive but the food is good and it’s right on the river. I liked the beef bourguignon and cakes. Nice wine and coffee.
