Lunch with the family -- French food in Ginza

I'm going to rewind the tapes a bit to up load some of the photos from a meal my family and I shared at Paul Bocuse's Ginza bistro in the new Marronier Gate building. It's not exactly run by Bocuse himself (I believe it's a joint venture of sorts with an entrepreneur-chef named Hiramatsu who has several restaurants in Tokyo bearing his name and at all tiers of the budget (2000-20,000!).

The food was not nearly as exciting as at Pierre Gagnaire or Robuchon, but the cost-performance (as we say in Japanese) was quite good. For 3500 yen (tax, tip included) we had an entree, fish, meat, and dessert (creme brulee), not large portions like you get in Lyon bouchons but mysteriously enough to hold us over for five-six hours until dinner.

Here's some photos from the meal.
