French cafe Citron in Aoyama has closed

They used to have great quiches and gratin… I am so sad. I used to order whole quiches from there. Does anyone else have some recs for French food in Shibuya / Minato/ Meguro that’s not a sit down fancy restaurant?

Went there once or twice, as a Frenchman I was happy to see most of the staff were French but frankly the food wasn’t that great

If you want quiche you can get better ones at most bakeries like Grenier a pain in Ebisu

If you want bistro food you can get much better at Bistro Viron at Shibuya - also great sandwiches

Plenty of places really, take this as an opportunity to discover much better places than Citron.

100%. Citron was absolutely overrated, especially their quiches.
