L'Escale sur Grenoble

Awesome, it's so fast! There are vegetarian options, but I always choose the same non-vegetarian dish and ask for it without meat, and it's possible!!! (Thank you so much again!) It's fantastic because I'm very picky about food, and the fact that they made me the only ramen I can eat without chicken is really very kind of them ♥ I come back OFTEN and I will continue to do so :D Thank you so much ♥

Our favorite restaurant in Grenoble. Excellent value for money, varied menu, and all equally delicious. And to top it all off, the staff is very friendly. It's always a pleasure to go there.

Great Japanese restaurant!! Excellent food!

Here is my honest opinion, following a recommendation from a French friend. As a Japanese person, I tried not to be too harsh, but I prefer to be sincere. Personally, I think the food is what you'd expect for the price, but nothing more. Many people may not know this, but in Japan, inexpensive "izakaya" often use frozen products and numerous additives. This restaurant seems to replicate this type of budget establishment; therefore, you shouldn't expect high quality. I ordered miso ramen, curry rice, and takoyaki. The curry tasted exactly like a Japanese retort curry, which, in a way, brought back memories. On the other hand, the miso ramen broth was too thin and sorely lacked depth and umami. The restaurant was very busy, so I imagine that reflects local tastes. Finally, a word about the atmosphere: the decor reminded me of the red-light districts of Southeast Asia. These kimono-like garments unfortunately evoke the aesthetic of brothel districts. These thin polyester fabrics, similar to pajamas, are not authentic Japanese kimonos. (You can find much better ones in Grenoble's thrift stores for under 50 euros; I highly recommend replacing them.)

Absolutely excellent and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is very quiet and a little off the beaten path. Very nice.

By far the best Japanese restaurant in Grenoble. The manager is lovely, the restaurant exudes authenticity, and you feel right at home. The prices are extremely reasonable; it's surprising how I'd gladly spend a few euros more each time I come. The presentation and flavor of the dishes are worthy of the finest restaurants, and I always look forward to returning.

Still as amazing as ever. The food is incredible 🤤🤤
