01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Tucked into a quiet pocket of Hon-Komagome, Flora di Mare draws on classical French technique while keeping the preparations light enough to let prime seasonal ingredients shine. Both lunch and dinner are built around prix-fixe courses, giving diners the freedom to assemble their own ideal progression with every visit.
Meals open with an amuse-bouche and vivid appetizers, such as wild red sea bream cru garden-style or a silky celeriac mousse paired with whelk. Main courses range from seafood to substantial cuts of meat—including beef sagari (hanging tender), confit of Shinrin chicken leg, and sautéed Seseragi pork loin—all plated in hearty, satisfying portions. For dessert, selections like a tonka bean-scented blancmange, with its gentle notes reminiscent of apricot kernel and vanilla, alongside light chiffon cakes leave a gentle, lingering finish.
The beverage list is thoughtfully curated to accompany the food. Guests can choose from glasses of red, white, and rosé wine, as well as non-alcoholic wine and Cabernet rosé grape juice for those abstaining from alcohol. After the meal, the digestif selection features Marc, Armagnac, and Calvados, alongside brewed coffee and tea to encourage lingering conversation.
The white-toned interior is intimate and tranquil, backed by attentive, well-informed explanations of the dishes and wine pairings. Reservations are recommended for both lunch and dinner, making the restaurant a trusted destination for birthdays, anniversaries, or an unhurried celebratory meal.
