4.7 / 5.0(640 reviews)

food was truly one of a kind and the service was excellent!! the prix fixed menus included nearly 10+ unique dishes that were perfectly crafted and presented. every dish was executed beautifully with an origin story, how to eat it, and what ingredients were in it. all the ingredients were local to hokkaido and really felt farm to table. the corn soup and deer were my favorite! while the portions may appear small, by the end of the meal i was absolutely stuffed. highly recommend making a reservation to try this place out! We were lucky enough to walk-in and snag a table for two without a reservation - and it was a fantastic meal. Each course was absolutely delicious, brought out efficiently, executed precisely, with mostly local ingredients but with French techniques. Service was very attentive and impeccable. One of our favourite meals of our Japan trip If you're in Sapporo, you have to visit Moliere. This was the best dining experience we had in Hokkaido-the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. Our group had the Menu Terroir and every single dish from the tasting menu blew us away, especially the crab flan and the squid ink albalone. The portions were very generous for a fine dining restaurant. When we told staff it was our first time in Hokkaido, they suggested locally produced wine pairings and other must-try local restaurants and desserts. The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel completely at home. Moliere does magic with its delicate and refined take on French cuisine using Hokkaido's finest ingredients.

Definitely recommend coming to Moliere if in Sapporo city. The food was spectacular, just as good as my first visit 2 years ago. The beef is out of this world. Looking forward to return again soon. Regret I was in such a rush that I didn't have time to dress up appropriately for the occasion to enjoy the experience, next time definitely will be more aware. These days everyone so casual that visiting such beautiful places should be more respected. Yes I will be more aware next time. :) Thank you Hiro for looking after us so well. Truly enjoyed the evening.

I had reserved the table earlier than one month(through the phone call). The restaurant is located nearby Hokkaido Shrine. I love their warm welcome and cozy atmosphere. The staff were extremely kind. I had the Hokkaido course menu for dinner. My favorite dish was venison, it was so juicy, tender, and aromatic. All the seafood dishes were also tasty. They were good at pastry too, their tart, butter, and bread were flavorful. After I finished my meal, The staff offered their help to book me a taxi. It was a wonderful dinner experience in Hokkaido.
