Restaurant in Osaka, Japan
Périgord-trained cooking at a mid-range price.
A Michelin Plate-recognised French restaurant in Osaka's Higashitenma district, Le Logis h builds its menu around an unusually focused triptych: spices, herbs, and fruit. The kitchen's Périgord training shows in confident foie gras preparations, while desserts like millefeuille and tarte Tatin arrive with enough creative latitude to signal a kitchen at ease with its own identity. Priced in the mid-range for serious French dining in Osaka.
Le Logis h is the right call if you want French cooking in Osaka at a price point below the city's top-tier splurge restaurants, and you care more about creative flavor combinations than formal ceremony. This is a Michelin Plate restaurant in Kita Ward — recognised in both 2024 and 2025 — that earns its place through a distinctive, produce-driven approach rather than prestige or spectacle. First-timers to Osaka's French dining scene will find it a practical and characterful entry point.
The defining feature of Le Logis h's cooking is a deliberate focus on spices, herbs, and fruit, used across every course from appetisers through to dessert. This is not incidental garnish work , it is the conceptual backbone of the menu. Foie gras preparations are the clearest expression of this: the kitchen pairs them with fruits and spices in ways that the Michelin reviewers specifically called out as evidence of the chef's Périgord training, where foie gras culture runs deep. Pastry follows the same logic, with millefeuille and tarte Tatin treated as vehicles for playful reinterpretation rather than straight classical execution.
The result is French cooking that reads as lighter and more aromatic than the butter-heavy traditions many diners associate with the cuisine. If you're comparing this to the more austere, technique-first approach you'd find at La Cime or the multi-course innovation format at Différence, Le Logis h sits closer to the personal and expressive end of the spectrum. That's an advantage or a drawback depending on what you're after.
Le Logis h holds a Google rating of 4.6 from 35 reviews , a small but consistently positive sample. The back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 confirms the kitchen is cooking at a level the Michelin inspectors consider worth noting, even without a full star. At ¥¥¥ pricing, you're getting Michelin-acknowledged French cooking at a cost below the ¥¥¥¥ restaurants that dominate Osaka's leading French tier.
Le Logis h is located in Higashitenma, Kita Ward , a well-connected part of central Osaka. The address is 1 Chome-2-3 金屋ビル 1階.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
Le Logis h is a small restaurant in a first-floor space at 1 Chome-2-3 金屋ビル, Higashitenma — capacity is limited. Groups of more than four should check the venue's official channels before assuming availability. For larger private dining events, La Cime or HAJIME in Osaka have more documented capacity for group bookings.
The foie gras dishes are the clearest expression of what the kitchen does — the chef trained in Périgord, France's foie gras heartland, and that background shows in preparations that pair the ingredient with fruit and spice rather than treating it as a simple luxury centerpiece. The millefeuille and tarte Tatin are also worth ordering if on the menu; Michelin's own notes single them out as prepared with a playful spirit.
The cooking has a clear identity: spices, herbs, and fruit run through every course, from appetisers to dessert. This is not a traditional butter-and-cream French kitchen. At the ¥¥¥ price point, it sits below Osaka's top-tier French splurge options and holds back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition for 2024 and 2025, which signals consistent quality without the price premium of a starred restaurant.
Bar seating is not confirmed in available information for Le Logis h. Given the small scale of the venue — a first-floor space in a Higashitenma building — seating options are likely limited to table covers. Confirm directly with the restaurant before planning a walk-in bar experience.
Book at least one to two weeks ahead, and further in advance for weekend evenings. The small room size means covers fill quickly, and the Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 has raised its profile with visiting diners. If you're building a Kansai itinerary, lock in the date before booking travel logistics around it.
Le Logis h is a French restaurant with Michelin recognition, so neat, put-together clothing is appropriate — think business casual at minimum. The ¥¥¥ price range and the Périgord-trained kitchen suggest a setting that takes itself seriously, even if the cooking style leans playful. Overly casual dress would feel out of place.
The kitchen's focus on spices, herbs, and fruit across every course means the menu structure is already quite specific — this is not a highly flexible à la carte format. Foie gras is a core feature of the concept, which rules the restaurant out for vegetarians or those avoiding liver. check the venue's official channels with any specific dietary requirements before booking.
