Guinguette La Chèvre

Located on a quiet street in Nishi-Asakusa near Tawaramachi and Asakusa Stations, Guinguette La Chèvre is led by chef Masanori Taguchi, a key figure who has helped cultivate Asakusa’s French-based bistro culture. The shop embraces the spirit of traditional French guinguettes—casual tavern-eateries—offering a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

The regular menu features bistro staples, from classic charcuterie like pâté and rillettes to comforting, slow-cooked meat dishes. A daily chalkboard features seasonal specialties such as French Bayonne cured ham, sweetfish (ayu) escabeche, guinea fowl escalope with red wine vinegar sauce, and roasted Iwachu pork with lemon butter almond sauce. Each plate features robust, unpretentious flavors served in portions perfect for sharing, designed to pair effortlessly with a curated selection of wines. Whether dropping by for a casual glass or sharing dishes with friends, it is an inviting and dependable spot woven naturally into the rhythm of downtown Tokyo.
