Experience the Taste of France in Autumn!

The Diners Club France Restaurant Week 2025 is currently underway, running from September 20 to October 20. This is Japan's largest French culinary event, where food enthusiasts can relish authentic French dishes at special prices.

Launched in 2011, the festival celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. With over 500 restaurants participating nationwide, you’ll find a unique opportunity to indulge in three-course meals priced at 3,000, 6,000, or 10,000 yen (taxes and service included).

This year's theme, “Regional French Cuisine,” serves as a bridge connecting the culinary cultures of France and Japan. Visitors can savor distinct local dishes from various French regions, crafted using Japan's fresh, seasonal ingredients.
