🍜 Le Gaulois Furano

Located within the "New Furano Prince Hotel," this Italian restaurant stands amidst a tranquil forest, leaving a deep impression with its gentle architectural lines. The interior exudes a warm wooden ambiance, making it the perfect place to spend special moments with loved ones. The restaurant's name, dishes, and logo design are all produced under the supervision of Sō Kuramoto, the screenwriter of the TV drama "From the North Country." The cuisine is overseen by Chef Kenichi Otsuka, a supporter of Hokkaido ingredients, who gained fame for his restaurant "Le Gorille" in Omotesando, Tokyo, known for its commitment to using Hokkaido produce. Chef Otsuka believes that "ingredients taste best when eaten at their origin," which led him to move to Furano, where he showcases the deliciousness of fresh, seasonal ingredients harvested from the local area. The restaurant offers Italian dishes cooked to perfection, featuring meat dishes that are slow-roasted in a wood-fired oven to highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients, along with freshly baked homemade bread. Only set menus are available, allowing guests to fully enjoy the deliciousness of Hokkaido ingredients. Both lunch and dinner are by reservation only, as this restaurant is extremely popular and hard to book.
