About this place
At RESTAURANT VITRA, choosing a wine to go with French cuisine is part of the experience. The menu lists wines from France, Germany, the United States and elsewhere, with recommendations tailored to the dishes and to differences in vintage and body, from full-bodied to light-bodied. There are also courses featuring 3 or 5 wines, offering a chance to compare several styles alongside a meal. Wine is available by the glass or bottle, so diners can choose according to the meal and how much they would like to drink.
For a non-alcoholic option, there is a straight grape juice made with 100% domestically grown Concord grapes from Tamba Winery. The menu describes it as uncondensed, allowing the fruit’s acidity and sweetness to come through; it offers a drink to pair with a meal for those who do not drink alcohol. The French apple juice blends 25 varieties, including traditional apples, and is 100% natural fruit juice. Wakayama-grown Satsuma mandarin juice is also listed, giving diners a choice of different fruit flavours.
One diner reported enjoying a meal with a group of 15, while another, reflecting on wedding food, praised the cooking that brought out the ingredients and the presentation. The restaurant is also described as having a quiet atmosphere, making it an option for those looking to enjoy a meal and conversation at an unhurried pace.
