The French Kitchen

Catching up on some updates...
Champagne Brunch at The French Kitchen inside of Grand Hyatt Tokyo last month.
Entrance.
Interior/Buffet Station.
The absolute BEST part of the buffet part was the Fruit Station. They have a selection of fresh fruit and will freshly cut anything you want. Felt like I got my money's worth with the fruit alone (fruit is extremely expensive in Japan).
Freshly made Egg's Benedict.
Buttery & sugary French Toast.
Buffet.
You choose one main dish. This is my boyfriend's duck dish.
It was the better dish out of our table (I ordered fish, our friend ordered Chicken) but it was unimpressing to say the least...
Dessert is also buffet style.

Personally, I am not a fan of buffets. I hate that overly-full feeling that lingers. But this was a rare case, I really enjoyed the dishes offered for the buffet but didn't enjoy the main dish that came with it. Especially at 6,500 yen (main, buffet & a glass of Louis Roederer Champagne). I wish they would offer a buffet only option for about 4,500 yen.
Oh, and a heads up, I ordered an extra glass of Champagne which cost a third of the price of the entire meal! Obviously, should have asked before I ordered... but it would probably be a better option to hold off on that second drink and instead, enjoy one afterwards on the balcony of The Oak Door upstairs.
