Lunch time. Ended my day tour in Akita city; decided to settle lunch here before heading to my next destination - Tazawa-ko 田沢湖 in the afternoon. Followed Rurubu るるぶ guidebook's recommendation to Recette ルセット, a French restaurant, located near Neburi Nagashi kan ねぶり流し館. On the my previous trip to Tohoku region, I had French cuisine for dinner in Chez moi チェ.モア and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Till date, I am still very impressed by the quality of western cuisine (in various aspects, such as taste, plating, execution, etc) that I have savoured in Japan. Therefore, I strongly encourage people around me to give western fare a try while travelling in Japan.

Background. Recette first started out as a cafe and was upgraded into a full fledged restaurant in 2014, serving creations with ingredients sourced within Akita Prefecture. In 2017, Recette even collaborated with JAL to create dinner flight meals for first class domestic flights passengers for a limited time period which I felt was a remarkable accreditation for the restaurant.
Menu. Managed to locate Recette, a two storey building with a contemporary modern design, thankfully with the assistance from a passerby. Upon stepping into the restaurant, I was already won over by its classy yet cosy ambience. Sat down comfortably and looked through the menu. Ordered the lunch set (2,160 yen) - a three course meal served with coffee/tea, and I was given the choice to select either the meat or fish as the main - chose the pork fillet with honey mustard sauce. Recette also offers other lunch set such as Puchi course プチコース (3,240 yen) which comprises of both meat and fish dishes and Puchi charcoal course プチチャコールコース (5,184 yen) which includes both charcoal grilled fish and meat dishes.
- Starters: Pumpkin potage (カボチャポタージュ), salad and seafood terrine (テリーヌ).
- Main: Akita Prefecture produced pork fillet with honey mustard sauce, served with seasonal vegetables. Overall, the dish was well executed and I enjoyed it very much. The pork fillet was cooked to medium well; meat was moist and tender to bite. In addition, the sweet, with a tint of spiciness, honey mustard sauce further elevated the flavours of the meat.
- Dessert: Black tea panna cotta (紅茶のパンナコッタ)
