入って1番、メニューが目に飛び込んできますが、非常に悩ませる、美味しそうなメニューの羅列…
聞くに、どれを選んでも間違いないラインナップですし、美味しいと。

一つ一つしっかりボリュームがあるので、我々は白子と帆立のグラタンに、ブラッターチーズを乗せた牛肉タルタル、鳩のパイ包み、アカハタのバターソース仕立てをそれぞれ頂きました。

一品をみんなでシェアしながら頂きます。
ビールや白ワインとどれも合います。

梅雨にグラタンを食べているのは我々くらいかと思いますが、味がとにかく濃厚で豊か。パンにつけて食べたらさらに美味しい。

タルタルも、ブラッターチーズが強めのパンチを残し、牛の旨味を引き立てます。

そして、アカハタデカすぎ。
びっくりしました、、、そして、バターソースが大変美味しくて、白身の身の味わいと良く合っており、間違いなく白ワインで合わせたい。

鳩のパイ包みも層になっており、
幾重にも美味しい肉が重ねられております。
鳩ってこんなに美味しいのかと知ってから、街で見かける鳩が美味しそうに見えます。

予約取りにくい且つ、新規もほぼほぼ取れないお店に有難く行けて貴重な体験でした◎
ご馳走様でした。

The first thing you see when you walk in is the menu, but it's a very confusing list of delicious-looking menus...
From what I hear, it's a lineup that you can't go wrong with, and it's delicious.

Each dish was hearty, so we each had the milt and scallop gratin, the beef tartare with burrata cheese, the pie-wrapped pigeon, and the red grouper in butter sauce.

Enjoy while sharing each dish with everyone.
All go well with beer or white wine.

I think we are the only ones who eat gratin during the rainy season, and the taste is really rich and rich. It's even more delicious if you eat it with bread.

In the tartare, the burrata cheese leaves a strong punch and brings out the flavor of the beef.

And the red hat is too big.
I was surprised...The butter sauce was very delicious and went well with the taste of the white meat, so I would definitely pair it with white wine.

The pigeon pie wrap is also layered,
Delicious meat is layered on top of each other.
Ever since I learned how delicious pigeons are, the pigeons I see around town look delicious.

It was a valuable experience to be able to go to a restaurant where it is difficult to make reservations and almost impossible to get new customers.
Thank you for the meal.

日本橋の小伝馬町でもっとも有名なビストロと言っていいお店がコチラのTROMPETTE(トロムペット)さん。

食べログ評価があまりに高くずっと気に入っていましたが、ここって予約が取りにくいんですよ。
ですがね、今回はグルメな先輩がこちらの常連さんということで念願の初訪問です。

お料理は全て大皿形式でカジュアルなビストロスタイル。
気心の知れた友人同士や家族で利用したら楽しそう。
驚くべきは素材の質の良さ。
最初のホワイトアスパラの大きさから驚かされました。
牛も羊も鳩も全て肉質も良く満足度高い。
ズワイガニたっぷりリゾットはしっかり芯を残しており、私好みの食感。これ、リゾットの上に蟹の身が乗ってるだけではなく、リゾットにもしっかりズワイガニが入っております。蟹の風味がブワッと広がる。うまし

今回は貸切で利用しましたが、10人集まるなら貸切も良きですね。

ちなみに、注意点ですが
ノンアルの方は基本お断りです。
それでも体質などありましてノンアルという方は3,000円少々チャージ料がかかりますのでご容赦を。
まあ、私のような飲兵衛には関係のない話ですが、お酒を飲めるにも関わらず呑むのを控えて極力お会計を減らそうなどという方はお店にご迷惑かなと。

楽しかったです、ごちそうさまでした！

Trompette is the most famous bistro in Kodenmacho, Nihonbashi.

I've always liked this restaurant because of its high Tabelog reviews, but it's difficult to get reservations here.
However, this is my long-awaited first visit since my senior colleague who is a gourmet is a regular customer here.

All meals are served on large plates in a casual bistro style.
It would be fun to use it with close friends or family.
What is surprising is the quality of the materials.
I was surprised by the size of the first white asparagus.
Beef, sheep, and pigeons all have good meat quality and are highly satisfying.
The risotto with plenty of snow crab retains its core, and has the texture I like. This doesn't just have crab meat on top of the risotto, it also has snow crab in it. The flavor of crab spreads out. Delicious

This time we rented it out for private use, but if you have a gathering of 10 people, it would be a good idea to rent it out privately.

By the way, please note that
Non-alcoholic people are generally not allowed.
However, if you are a non-alcoholic person due to a medical condition, please note that there will be a charge of 3,000 yen.
Well, this has nothing to do with barbers like me, but I think it would be a nuisance to the restaurant if you refrain from drinking even though you can drink and try to reduce your bill as much as possible.

It was fun, thank you for the meal!
