The restaurant "Marionne," featured in the "Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017" and "Gault & Millau 2021," serves course meals made with plenty of ingredients from Tokachi. We'd like to introduce you to a delicious restaurant that you should definitely visit if you come to Obihiro, and reservations are required.

A popular northern food stall that has now become an independent, talented restaurant

Mariyonne originally started as a food stall in Obihiro called "Kita no Yatai". After gaining experience as a food stall, it opened as a restaurant serving set courses in 2020. The restaurant is particular about a variety of things, including wine and the atmosphere, but you can especially feel their passion for Tokachi ingredients.

Many producers are involved in the production of each course, including fresh seafood from the fishing port of Hiroo, the southernmost point of Tokachi, potatoes and tomatoes grown by organic farmers, and beef from Hokkaido that has been professionally aged.In addition, information about producers is printed on the menu, and the restaurant's respect for producers can be seen throughout the restaurant.

Even the butter on the bread is produced in Tokachi! Everything from appetizers to main courses is delicious.

The most popular dish is the beef aged by Sakaeya, a professional aging restaurant, which is served as the main course. The appetizers and fish dishes are all delicious, but even the butter used for the bread is from Tokachi, and the fluffy, whipped butter with kelp is exquisite.

Chef Yasuo Kokubo, who shows off his skills at "Marionne", is always efficient and serious in the kitchen, but once the cooking is done, his friendly smile returns. He will tell you a lot about Tokachi's ingredients, interesting people and places, so if you have the chance to talk to him, be sure to ask him about his recommended spots ◎

The carefully prepared and delicate dishes convey the chef's love for cooking, and they are all delicious, with portions that are also very satisfying. It's also fun to watch the food being prepared in the open kitchen. I was amazed at the effort that went into making these dishes, which require so much work, all by a single person.

There is also a wide selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, including natural wines from Hokkaido, such as "Sachiroze" from Aizawa Winery in Obihiro and Pinot Noir from Tada Winery.

Wines by the glass are available, but there is a wider variety available by the bottle.

Desserts are also very satisfying

A French restaurant perfect for an important evening in Obihiro

Both the tables and the counter seats in the open kitchen are very comfortable. This restaurant is recommended for people who love delicious food, whether it's for a date, a girls' night out, friends, or family with children. This French restaurant is perfect for important dinners, such as the upcoming Christmas and Valentine's Day.
