Le Vin sur la Table – Otari, Japan

Le Vin sur la Table – Otari, Japan

We found this charming little restaurant from the staff at our lodge in Hakuba. The chef had spent a couple of years working in the south of France before opening his own restaurant in his hometown of Otari, about 30 minutes from Hakuba. It’s not very convenient unless you happen to be in the Cortina area. If you ski there I highly recommend making the 15 minute drive to this spot for an impressive meal. My dish, the trout, was $16.25…a steal considering the quality of the food and overall experience, not to mention it included soup and dessert. This was such a special lunch. I totally recommend this place to anyone in the area.
