This is the place to enjoy a French course with a focus on Tokachi in a relaxed atmosphere! Obihiro "Malyonne
The restaurant Mariyonne, listed in the Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 and Gault et Millau 2021, is a restaurant where you can enjoy a course meal using a wide variety of Tokachi ingredients. We would like to introduce you to this delicious restaurant, which you must stop by when you come to Obihiro, and for which reservations are essential.
A talented restaurant that gained popularity at Kita no Yatai and became independent
Mariyonne originally started as a food stall in Obihiro called "Kita no Yatai. After gaining success as a food stall, it opened as a restaurant in 2020 as a new course meal restaurant. The restaurant's focus is on various aspects such as wine and space, but especially the passion for Tokachi ingredients can be felt.
A number of producers are involved in each course, such as fresh seafood from the fishing port in Hiroo, the southernmost tip of Tokachi, potatoes and tomatoes produced by farmers who are particular about organic farming, and beef from Hokkaido that has been professionally aged. The restaurant's respect for producers can be felt throughout the restaurant, with information on the producers also included in the menu list.
Even the butter you put on your bread comes from Tokachi! Everything from appetizers to main courses is delicious!
One of the most popular dishes is the main course of beef aged by Sakaeya, a professional aged beef chef. The appetizers and fish dishes are all delicious, but even the butter that goes on the bread is made in Tokachi, and the butter with kelp that is as fluffy as whipped cream is also excellent.
Chef Yasuo Kokubo, who is the master chef at Mariyonne, is always very efficient and serious in the kitchen, but when the cooking is done, he returns to his friendly smile. He is always ready to tell you about Tokachi's ingredients and interesting people and places, so if you have a chance to talk to him, be sure to ask him about his favorite spots.
The dishes are all delicious and the portions are very satisfying. Watching the dishes being prepared from the open kitchen is another enjoyable experience. You will be amazed at the effort that goes into serving this many dishes in a one-operator operation....
There is also a wide variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The restaurant also offers a selection of natural Hokkaido wines such as "Sachiroze" from Obihiro's Aizawa Winery and Pinot Noir from Tada Winery.
A French restaurant perfect for an important night out in Obihiro!
The seating is comfortable both at the tables and at the counter in the open kitchen. It is a great place for people who love good food, whether it is for a date, a girls' night out, a group of friends, or a family with children. This French restaurant is ideal for important dinners such as the upcoming Christmas and Valentine's Day.
